So Busy

Hi all,

It has been super busy around here. Wish it was something new and exciting, but it is just more of the same (but I guess that is a good thing since it means that everything is going at a steady pace).

I am a little sad right now. My great-grandmother passed away on Tuesday morning. She was 102-years-old so it wasn't a surprise (she was fond of saying that she could go to sleep and not wake up and no one would be shocked). She left behind 4 living children (2 passed away as adults, both lived past 70), more than 30 grandchildren, almost 100 great-grandchildren, and I'm not sure about great-great-grandchildren. She loved to quilt and crochet. I have one of the last quilts that she made, we have a blanket that she made us for a wedding gift, and Vivian has a blanket that she made as well (she had to quit right after Vivian was born due to failing eyesight). I am posting a 5-generation picture from after Theodore was born. Front row Vivian, Great Grandma holding Theodore. Back row me holding Samuel, my grandma, my mom.
