"HOme"

This past weekend Alex, Aaron and I went "home". It is funny that after living in Columbus for 11 years that I still find Wintersville to be home. Although it is just my Dad that now lives there, I still feel so at peace there. This visit was a little rougher for some reason. I wish so much I could visit my Granny and PaPa. I miss them more than I ever thought possible. They were amazing people and the best Grandparents that EVER existed. As always we drove past their house and it ripped my heart out like never before. The neighbors were outside and even Stella was walking around the bend like ALWAYS. Ahh-what I wouldn't give to have one more day with them. I can only hope and pray that they are now my Angels in heaven watching over me and my family and are proud of the Mother I am.
While home we also saw my friends Missy and Colleen. We were so close growing up and are as close today. I talk to them multiple times every week and miss them something terrible. You never really find friends like that once you have grown up with someone. One special thing we did was get "the boys" pictures taken all together. It was fun and chaotic all at the same time and then they all came over to my Dad's for dinner. Wether my Mom's or Dad's, both places were the gathering place when we were growing up so it is fitting that we still gather at my Dad's.

Well-bath time!

They watch over you, they always do. You were their angel on earth and they are yours in heaven.

There is not a doubt in my mind that Granny and Papa would be sooo very proud of the mother that you are and especially proud of the wonderful step-mother that you are. I too miss my grandparents everyday and I would give anything to be able to spend one more minute with them and for them to get one minute with my kids. Both of our grandparents would have gotten such a kick out of all of our boys!! I too miss you everyday!!

Love you, Colleen
