visiting heaven?!

Last week while at Great Grandma D's house Tylee saw a picture of her grandpa Gene and Great Grandma D together. We have always told her about her grandpa and have always shown her pictures and told her that he died and is in heaven. This is how the conversation went after seeing the picture of Great Grandma and Grandpa Gene.

Tylee (picking up the picture and bringing it to us with a very puzzled look on her face) "Grandma what you doing in heaven visiting my grandpa?!" "I want to go visit my grandpa!"

Grandma D " Oh, Tylee I am not in heaven with Grandpa. . . that is before he died."

Tylee " Oh, you not in heaven visiting? You saw him before he died?"


I just wanted to write this down to remember it and remember how sweet little kids can be, also so Tylee can remember she has always been interested in her grandpa Gene and getting to know him and more about him. I wish she could really know him and I am so grateful I got to know Grandpa Gene so I can tell my kids about him. I am grateful that one day she will get to know her Grandpa and "visit" him.

2 weeks and 2 kids. . .

SO it's been a little over 2 weeks with 2 kids and I must say I am loving it! Things have gone better than I expected! Tylee has been great with her baby sister and is a huge help!! She loves to help change diapers, feed, bathe, and anything else that involves her baby sister! SHe enjoys singing to Sydnee and telling her stories, she even shares her toys with Sydnee. . .
I don't know how we are so lucky to have two great babies, Tylee was a great baby and Sydnee never cries, she sleeps 3-4 hours a night and is a great eater. Hopefully this does not mean we will get it all back in teenage years.
Sydnee is doing great and already growing! She has her 2 week check-up on Monday so I will let you know her stats then.
Really we are loving being parents and having our 2 little girls! Ty is a great dad and a huge help! I am so grateful to have such an amazing husband!
I also want to thank you to all of our friends and family that have brought dinners in, it was a huge help to not have to make dinner!
