Time to laugh

A very sad day.

These are from just a few days ago. They made each other so happy.

Today Arnold Graham Heard passed away. He was 82 and surrounded by his family. His last hours were filled with funny stories and laughter. It was truly a good way to go. Unfortunately, he was sick for quite some time. We are very sad to see him go. I have never been so proud of Baby J's name. This is their first few moments together. Baby J is named John Arnold. Blue and Grandpa had an exceptional bond. He absolutely adored her and she the same. Blue could never get enough of him and was constantly wanting to be near him.

Grandma and Grandpa are such a beautiful testament to what true love really means.

D I know that this is so heart wrenching, but I know that your dad has given you so much of his spirit that he will live on forever, plus you can always look at your little ones. They have your dad's ears! =)

Arnold responded and opened his eyes when Blue was brought up. It shows how much he really loved her so much. She managed to get this video message done for him shortly before he died. I played it in his ear.






D this is just for you from Blue. She understands that she has angel up in heaven just for her. She wanted you to have this message.

Rest In Peace Arnold. We will always love and forever be changed by you.

Burning down the house

Nana's nursing school, Alma College, burned down. It was over 100 years old and beautiful. The entire thing took 2 hours from start to finish and apparently there is some debate as to whether it was done intentionally. Anyway, poor Nana. At least she has her memories.

Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

Today Blue and Baby J got to got to the zoo with Nana, Papa, Uncle John and their cousins. It was so much fun. I have never seen a giraffe so close. Blue took her very first ride on a carousel. She loved being on a horse alone, and then it moved! She was in heaven.

This is my brother posing as a strange animal. Uncle John is Blue's new favorite thing to talk about.

Hannah and Zoe were given these pretty outfits by there mom AND Blue got one too. Thanks Aunt Jill! You are so sweet to think of her They were all so cute. Blue really felt like one of the gang.

An lastly, here is Blue and Andrew. They are approximately the same age (he is 2 months older) I love it because they look like little twins because they are the same size. This is one of my favorite moments of them. They were climbing through the meerkat tunnels and had a cute laughing moment.

Baby J cut his first tooth!

There are little teeth bumps that finally came out in the bottom front. Poor guy. That must really hurt. He is growing so fast!

Divalicious

She can't help herself. She just got a new swimsuit.

Happy Father's Day D!
