Grace is TWO and AL visit..

We are alive!! As most of you know we had a unexpected trip to AL a little early. The trip was bittersweet for us. We left almost a week early because we got a call on the Tuesday after Easter letting us know that Adam's Granny was only expected to live a few more days. She had a heart attack and was in heart failure and wasn't doing well at all. It didn't take much time at all for both of us to realize we had to get 'home' to AL to see Granny and be with the family before she was gone!! You see, Adam grew up right next door to his Granny and she was like a second Mom to him and his sister. She has always been such a precious, and dear lady. She has the sweetest spirit ever! She has always been so loving and so good to me also. She told me very early on to just call her "Granny". She considered me a part of the family just like every one else.

We knew the day would come but Granny passed away on Saturday April 10th. We did get to spend a lot of time at the hospital and she was able to recognize us and even hugged us and muttered to Adam "I Love You". That was so special. We take great solace in the fact that she belonged to the kingdom of God and she is now in Heaven. Praise God for that promise!!

On the sweeter side, we were in AL for both my and Grace's Birthday. She turned 2 on April 12th, 2010. It is so hard to believe our baby is TWO!! She has blossomed into a ball of fun! She is such a sweet, sweet girl and we love her so much!! It warms our heart to hear her speak so clearly and to hear her so plainly say... "I Love You Momma/ Daddy". She will just out of the blue come up to us or others and say this, or want to give us a kiss!!:)

We were planning on going to AL anyways for Grace's B'day, but because of Adam's Granny we went a week early. It ended up all working out to be there for almost 2 weeks. We got to see family that we haven't seen in a long time on both sides and even spent some time with friends.

I will let the pictures speak for themselves...

At the end I believe it will go into old pictures... don't mind them..
