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.

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple. Apple makes great technology. Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him! Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him. We love and miss him so much when he is traveling. We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

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. Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great! All the boxcars were unique and wonderful! The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
