Life the past few weeks has been a blur for me. Lexi & I flew up to Iowa Feb. 20th. My grandpa has had cancer for years. This is a guess, but I think it was somewhere around 9 years. Every time it flared up, he fought it hard. He was the mystery patient to all the doctors. Unfortunately, the cancer came back stronger than his body could fight. He passed away Monday(21st) night. Death is never, ever easy. Even when you know it's coming. I am so incredibly thankful that I was able to be there in time to tell him I loved him. He's been an amazing grandpa and the thought of going to Iowa and not seeing him is so strange. I'm also extremely thankful I was able to tell him I was pregnant a few weeks ago. The two pictures below are ones I will cherish forever!! Grandpa loved "real" country music. He was a great banjo player & two years ago at Christmas, he got them out. He & Mike played them for awhile while Lexi sat around & watched. It's memories like that, that I'll never forget!
We got back to Nashville March 2nd and have just been trying to get back to normal. That's been a little difficult though. I've been having tons of "morning" sickness in the evenings. And then on Saturday, we found out Lexi has a double ear infection. So... things have just been crazy! I'm hoping the next couple days are low-key & more normal. We have a big weekend ahead! Mike's sister & her family are coming to visit!! Lexi has been talking about them the past few days. It's safe to say, we are all excited to see them!
Daddy was supposed to be watching a video w/her. ;)
