A Nice Visit

I am very close to my grandparents. We lived only a few blocks from them growing up and it was so much fun. They retired and moved to Arizona where my aunt and cousins live. We try to go visit them as much as we can. They are getting older and it's getting harder for them to travel, but they really wanted to meet Brady, so they decided to drive to Iowa with my aunt and uncle to see us for a day and then drive on to see my dad. We had a great time spending the day with them.

My grandma had a surgery last spring and wasn't able to come for Claire's funeral, so we visited her at the cemetery. It was so emotional watching my grandma put a bouquet of flowers on Claire's headstone. I wish she could have seen her in person.

This picture is even more emotional for me. Brady and his big sister.

Since I manage to make myself cry almost every time I blog, here is a happier picture. He is growing so fast. I'm pretty sure he weighs almost 12 pounds already! Brad calls him tank now.
