It has been 2 weeks since my last post. I'll try to briefly summarize what's happened since then. My sister Lesley came to Lubbock (from Arizona) for a job interview on the weekend of Feb. 17 so I decided to load up the kids and go up there to see her. Luckily, Josh's parents live in Lubbock so it was a two-for-one trip. We had a nice time and it was really good to see Lesley, as well as Pa and Gran and their many, many puppies (they raise miniature schnauzers and had 4 litters at once!). My favorite story, for you "The Little Mermaid" fans, was what happened when I took the kids to eat in Abilene. While we were waiting for our food we were playing "What is it?" in one of Bonnie's board books. I pointed to a fork and Kellen said, "That's a dinglehopper." Too much Disney at our house? Possibly.
On the way home from that trip I took the kids to Cameron Park Zoo, in Waco. We had a really good time.
I got back to College Station on Tuesday, Feb. 20. On Thursday, my mom called to tell me that my Granddad was very sick from a tear in his aorta and would not make it. I made plans to go to Weatherford on Friday morning, whatever happened. Granddad passed away at 5AM that morning. Bonnie and I went up to Weatherford that day and Kellen and Josh joined us the next day. Granddad's funeral was Sunday. It was sad to lose him, but he was a Christian and it was his time. He and my grandmother were married 63 years. So many people knew what a great man Granddad was, and it was special to hear them talk about him. He was a great example to those who knew him.
We got home on Monday and have been trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm posting a few pictures from the Lubbock trip.

I am sorry to hear about your grandad... but what a blessing to have lived such a full life, and be going home to our Heavenly Father!
