In Loving Memory...

This post is dedicated to my grandfather, who on Thursday lost the battle with Parkinson's, but has won the war, because he is now in the presence of the Lord.
I have never known or will know a man like my grandfather. They just don't make men like that anymore. He was quiet and humble but when he spoke people listened. He was purposeful in every action. He was kind, patient, and incredibly intelligent. He could build anything. He was loyal to his wife of 65 years and to his family who dearly loved him.
He was the example of what a man should be for himself, his wife, his child, his family and friends. He was a jewel among many stones and he will be missed.
I relish in the fact that he is standing tall and is no longer in pain. He is in the presence of the Lord and we all can only wish to be there too one day.
I love you Paw-Paw!

Baby Shower

Hi All - this is Tina again - Jodi's sister-in-law. Just wanted to keep you up-to-date on Jodi's progress and say thanks for reading and the well-wishes! Jodi had her baby shower back on June 23. They are so blessed to have received so many wonderful things for the baby! I hope I am just as ready and prepared when my time comes to have a lil peanut just as Billy and Jodi are ;)

Jodi is due around August 11, but it could be any day soon! I'll be running off to join them when the big day comes, but I will be sure to write a brief post here for her so that you guys know when little Sammie graces us with his presence :)

Here are some pics from the baby shower:

Baby gifts!













Crib full of baby clothes and necessities for little Samuel - this crib actually soothes by vibrating!







I'll keep you posted! Jodi says hello!
