Life in general

Not much has changed in our world with exception of Grandma June. Justin is back working nights and he likes it. He likes nights better than days. Now that I'm getting used to sleeping alone half the time, I don't mind it so much either. But this morning he came home to sleep and I didn't have to go to work and now we have a new problem. Getting used to sharing a bed! We've been sleeping apart so much that it's like both of us want to be in the middle of the bed. We are definitely gonna need a king size before it's all said and done. Caroline is now over 9 months old and doing well. She's been kinda under the weather for a few weeks now. She is acting like she feels much better and her fever is gone, but she still is not eating much. But she seems to be doing ok, so I'm not gonna force her and she should be back to normal soon. But until then, at least I'm saving money on formula! I am getting very excited to go to South Carolina for Brandon's wedding. I have never traveled much and this is new territory for me. Plus when I come back, I'll be down to working 3 days a week. Hooray! 3 more weeks and then time for some fun!

Grandma June

Justin's grandmother passed away early Sunday morning, March 15th. She was diagnosed with lung cancer early last year. Her husband, Grandpa Compton, passed away about 5 1/2 months ago. It was hard when he died, but for most of us, it's harder now that Grandma's gone too. She kept us going after Grandpa. We all had an opportunity to say something at the service, just like with Grandpa. Not everyone did this time, but that's ok. I enjoyed what was said. Adam talked about how Grandma June was not the fragile, sweet grandma type. She was ornery. She loved that comic Maxine, and she was just like her. I got to keep one of Grandma's refrigerator magnets that's a Maxine comic. It just screams Grandma. She always wanted to make sure you were taken care of, more specifically, fed. There was always food at Grandma's house. Anyways, Justin's sister was in town the whole week before she passed away, then they just stayed an extra 4 days for the funeral and everything. Cheryl, Heather, Dawn and I took the kids to visit Grandma on the Friday night before she died. Unfortunately Justin wasn't able to make it. I was glad we got pictures of the two babies present at the time with Grandma. Mike and Marisa didn't make it out until the day before the funeral, so we didn't get one with baby Gavin. But I'm just glad everyone was able to make it out for the service.

Caroline is starting to get heavy and it's been hard for Grandma to hold her, but she really wanted to before we left. She was very tired, but she perked up when she got to hold the babies.This is Heather's youngest, Peyton. She is about 6 weeks younger than Caroline. And I know, check out that hair! Caroline and I are jealous....someday we can do pigtails too...
