It's been so long since I've had a chance to blog! Things have been kinda crazy around here. I was in Illinois visiting family for a week and half and had a great time. I'm always so sad to leave my family, but also happy to get back to the swing of things here in MN. I was originally going to be in Illinois for a week (while J was at a conference), but left early to visit my grandpa (poppy) who had a heart attack.
My siblings and I have been so blessed by being raised in the same town as both sets of grandparents, it gave us such special relationships with them and the best memories. I cherished every moment I had with Poppy while home and loved watching him light up when I'd bring August around. He's 92 years old and I'm so thankful that we've been able to enjoy him for so long. He's currently still in the hospital and we are hoping he will be able to go to an assistant living home in a few days. He lived at home alone up until then, he's pretty incredible :)
August has learned his first "trick" and I HAD to get it in video, so here it is-you might melt into a puddle because it's SO cute :)
Where's mama?
But seriously, this is the first time he's been able to "give back" and show his love for us- it's the best feeling in the world!

- Ive always loved having family pictures taken. I love having those memories captured so that I can look back on them some day. In fact I have many photographer friends who Im always asking to take our pictures ;) Unfortunately they aren't around from day to day! My husband bought me a camera this year for Christmas and I am over-the-moon excited to have as many pictures of August and us as possible!
