We Love You

I was planning on my next post being about our new little boy, but I want to take some time to remember Pap. We are all so sad that he is gone, but we feel lucky that he was in our lives and that we have so many wonderful memories of him to keep with us in our hearts. Here are some pictures I have from the past couple of summers. A few of them have probably been posted in previous posts, but they are some of my favorites. We love you, Pap xoxo.

Some of the family during a visit to Michigan in July of 2008.

Abbey was absolutely fascinated by Pap's watch, and he let her play with it, despite running the risk of it being dropped or chewed on!

Ever the patriot American, here he is hanging his flag (July 2009).

Wearing his cowboy hat (July 2009)

Swinging under the tree, where so many of us have such wonderful memories just hanging out together (July 2009)

A quick introduction to Dylan Patrick, born on January 6 (8 lbs, 7 oz...I grow big babies!) He is a blessing and a joy.

(Coming soon there will be a name change to the blog, since it's not just Abbey's world anymore.)
