Cute pictures with Grandpa!
We feel so conflicted with funerals right now, because it has been the venue for many of Violet's first meetings.
It's not just V though, I guess I always feel this kind of conflict with funerals. I love seeing friends and family -- it's just unfortunate the circumstances we leave it to.
Man that's the truth. I wish we had more chances to visit with family. My cousin Tallin mentioned how rarely we see each other (I missed her tween years). I asked, "When did we see each other last?"
Answer: Grandad's funeral.
We need an ole' fashioned happy family reunion something fierce.
