We will miss you Gramps

Gramps & me :) 
My wonderful Grandpa Brock went to be with Jesus in the early hours yesterday morning.  He will be deeply missed. While our hearts long for more time with him,  we are so glad he is out of pain and finally home.

He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather & great grand father. I will never know how his prayers and love for our family influenced our lives, until eternity. But I can say that his testimony of coming to Jesus will forever impact me.


My favorite memories will always be of the time with Granny and Gramps with my kids.  I will also always treasure the memories of camping at Gramps' property in the summers, cousins reunions, Christmases and Holidays around the family tables, and sharing love and stories of years gone by.



I was so grateful for the way Granny and Gramps loved on my girls, before they were even OURS. They blessed Shy, Hollie, (and Natalee) with Christmas gifts and wrapped them in their love.  They took the time to make my girls feel a part of the family before they even knew they WOULD be a part of our forever family.  For that, I will always be so very grateful.

We love you Gramps! You will be missed. 
Until heaven...

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
