saying goodbye...

January 5th 2012. Day #35.  Today we said goodbye to Great-Grandma Block.  Since you are too young to know what life and death are all about today wasn't as hard for you as it was for Dad and Mom.  Grandmas are very special people, so losing one is very hard.  Grandma Amy was an excellent painter and loved playing the piano.  Daddy says he will never forget her laugh.  Her funeral was at St. Lawrence Catholic Church, this is the church your Grandpa Block goes to, and what's most special about this church is Grandpa Block built it!  We will miss you Grandma Amy!

Driving

January 4th 2012. Day #34.  Driving to Grandma and Grandpa's house, holding your baby and watching Minnie Mouse.

peek a boo

January 3rd 2012. Day #33- Playing a little peek a boo with Val tonight, you love playing with your puppy. Most often you are yelling at her (probably because that's what you hear Mom and Dad doing) ..."BAL, NO, NO, BAL!" I hear this at least 3 times a day.  You always want to feed her and give her treats, you two are good pals!

pack it all up

January 2nd 2012. Day #32-  Today you helped Mom put away all the Christmas decor..not sure how you got so tangled up in the ribbon but you managed to fall over then you kicked yourself out of this mess!

Painting

January 1st 2012. Day #31-  Today was a pretty relaxing day at Grandma and Grandpa's house, you got to try out your new finger paints with Auntie Alicia..they were a hit!
