happy birthday, dad + grandpa

Today my dad would have been 70. Wow, 70 years old. I just can't believe he has been gone for 19 years. I wish with my whole heart that he could have met Jason and Alexi. Significant days like today are harder than others, but my heart aches a little bit every day. Miss you, dad.

Also today my grandpa would have been 101. I also wish he could have met my wonderful husband and sweet daughter. I am so thankful Alexi was able to have a strong relationship and connection with Gigi though. It is tough that Gigi was the only great-grandparent Lexi was able to meet. We really wish she could have met my grandpa and Jason's grandparents. We miss them all.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia. Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.

I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball. Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi." I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping. Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
