Harvey's First Day of School

First day all ready to go.

Harvey and Jeremiah

Colten couldn't contain how happy

he was for Harv to go to school

I really can't believe that Harvey is starting school. It was kind of a sad day for me to let him go but very exciting at the same time. He got home after the first day and could not stop talking about it. He loves it. When he was going to bed that night he said " mom I wish I could go back to school right now." Oh to be in kindergarten again. Hopefully the excitement lasts.

It is so pretty right now. We have had so much rain in the last month and everything is green and beautiful!

Tribute to Nana

Nana and her sisters

This was one of the most amazing women you will ever meet. She was the greatest grandmother in the world and loved her grand kids more than anything. I don't think a day went by growing up that we were not at Nana's. We loved cruising town with her as she would blast El Vira. Many days of playing, chocolate milk bottles, and being spoiled to no end with Nana. Papa always said he would love to be reincarnated as one of Nana's grad kids. Harvey and Colten loved her dearly. She was always one of the first people we would go see when ever we would come to St. Johns. Harvey especially had a closeness to her. They would talk once or twice a week on the phone. He loved to play her in crazy eights. She was one of my best friends and always the one no matter what was going on that would give you a smile and make you feel great. She was an amazing example of someone who lived in so much pain for so many years yet never complained and always had a smile she definitely was an amazing example of enduring to the end. She lived to serve others especially her husband and her family. So very selfless. I will greatly miss her!
