Sad news

My mom's mom, Grandmother H passed away on St. Patrick's Day, so Eric and I made a quick trip to Texas for the funeral. She was 101, so in many ways it was more of a celebration of her life. We got to catch up with family and friends while we were there. This is a picture of my aunt & uncle and most of my Grandmom's great-grand children.

This is a family group shot; it is a bit hard to get a group all together at once ;)

One of my favorite stories from growing up involves our mom taking my brother and I to my Grandmother's hometown when there was a big snow fall. My mom wanted my brother and I to see "real" snow, as at the time we lived in Austin and there was not any real snow there. So we went for a week and played in the snow with our grandparents. Well, the funeral was Saturday morning, and when we woke up Saturday, there were several inches of snow on the ground, so to me it was a perfect day to say goodbye to my grandmom. We will miss her dearly!
