Visit to see Granddaddy

A few weeks ago my Mom, Sister, Camden and I took some time to drive to OKC for a quick daytrip to visit my Granddaddy. He was so excited to see us and was all dressed up when we arrived and waiting near the front. He was a chipper as ever and was full of smiles and stories. When we arrived, he has us take him to his room to see his world map and wanted help marking places on the map he had visited. Afterwards we headed down to the lounge area so we could spread out and talked and caught up.

His handwriting hasn't been the same since his stroke, but you can clearly see the date marked with our names! I thought this was so cute, it really showed how excited he was that we were coming to visit!

After some chatting, we sat in an exercise class with him.

Camden and I even joined in on the exercises!

{four generations!}

we let Camden wake up Granddaddy after his quick little lunch nap and digestion period. But not before each of has had a picture with Mr. Sleepyhead. :)

I love this shot, Camden is just so relaxed with his arm behind his head!

Aren't they just so cute?

All in all, it was a great visit. We enjoyed getting to catch up, exercise and just hang out. Can't wait to do it again!

busy, busy...

Been a busy few days, which explains my absence. We had my Grandmother's viewing and funeral last Friday and Saturday in OKC. It was great to see family, but the circumstances weren't what anyone would wish for. It was a great celebration of her entrance to heaven and it has been amazing to see my Grandad's strength. He is keeping busy and finding new things to do, I am so proud of him.

We stayed in a hotel that had one of those A/C units that kicks on and off all night. Needless to say, I slept HORRIBLE. I was so glad to return home to my own bed.

While C and I were in OKC, Pearl stayed with C's parents. Hooboy did she have a blast. She spent most of Friday and Saturday swimming, playing in the sprinklers and playing with Sadie, C's parent's Boston Terrier. Boy, does Pearl love swimming. We got her home Saturday evening and she was so tired she barely got up to come see us and wouldn't jump on anything. Later on, we noticed something was terribly wrong. She would let out a pitiful cry every time she stood up from laying on the ground or if she had to jump up on something. Sometimes there were multiple cries. She did have a bunch of bloody toenails (which is can be a regular occurance for her during the summer) and some of the pads of her feet had been scraped off. We worried for the past few days that maybe she had torn a muscle or strained something, but after a few days she is starting to get around better, but is still hesitant to jump. Now she is so spoiled she gets lifted onto each piece of furniture!







It is SO hard to get her out of the pool...she acts like it is the worst punishment ever!!


Looking forward to this weekend. Husband and I are taking a quick little getaway vacation, the last before baby (I am now 29 weeks...only 77 more days!!). I definitely am needing it, and am hoping for semi-cool weather. Haha..yeah right!!
