Gramps

 Sometimes its hard for me to put into words what I feel for my grandpa but here are just a few that come to my mind....
Godly, Loved, Respected, Looked up too, Wise, Knowledgeable, Scholar

I am so glad that I was able to spend the last 6 months going over weekly to see Gramps before he passed away Tuesday morning.  It had become our Wednesday night ritual to take Cole over to spend a few hours and talk about our week.  It's hard to believe that he was 90 years old, he was as sharp as a tack too!!  He loved aviation and was an instructor in a B17 in WWII.  But more than anything he loved the Lord!  He became a Pastor in New York where he was born and raised. After starting out in Beacon NY he moved his family out to become the head chaplain at the VA in Phoenix where he retired after 30 years of service.
He was a man of few words but I always knew that he loved me!  I feel so blessed to have spent my whole life near him!!!   You will be greatly missed!!
Until we meet again.... Absent from the body, Present with the Lord!!

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us

Quick trip

Image
So the dogs and I made a quick trip up to Durango this past weekend to just get out of the heat and hang out at the house. Although I ended up working on the house with my mom and John it was still a very nice weekend. On Friday (after about 4 hours sleep) mom and I delivered an area rug for a client and had lunch & wandered around town with Mickie, it was a very nice day! On Saturday we ended up power washing the whole deck and going to dinner and having margarita's in Bayfield. Sunday morning we got up and after realizing that the rain might just stay away for a little while mom and I re-stained/sealed the deck While we were doing all of this John was laying stone on the three pillars in the front of the house, they turned out awesome! We then went into town and had some ice cream and watched all the bikers. It was hard to come home on Monday, the weather was soooo nice and cool, however Wayne was patiently awaiting for my return and had steaks on! Yummmm!!! Here are a...

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Image
Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!
