Jenica meets GG

Dear Grandma,
I am so impressed at all you have learned about computers and email and although you will probably not happen upon this journal entry on your own, hopefully one of your lovely children will help you read it and show you these darling pictures I took of you meeting Jenica for the first time. We have had such a lovely vacation here in Southern California and just wanted to say thank-you so much, because with out you and your generosity we may not have been able to make the trip. You are Jenica's only great-grandparent that she will have the privilege of meeting and we are so thankful to be a part of your family. I wish Grandpa would have still been here to meet Jenica and Kayla but I'm sure he is smiling down on all of us from heaven. I know I speak for all of us when I say that we have thoroughly enjoyed our time with you Grandma and even though you like to talk about how old you are, we can tell that you are still young at heart. You look amazing for your age and get around much better than most 90 year old's I know. Thank you for spending so much time with us while we were here. We love you and miss you already!

Anniversaries help us to remember and acknowledge things in the past. They might not always be happy memories, but I do believe that remembering and reflecting is important. It was a year ago this Memorial Day that I found out my dad had cancer. Three weeks later he was gone.  These pictures were all taken about 2 years ago. We had no idea then that these would be the last memories with Grandpa.  I’ve wanted to write about his passing for some time now, but I just wasn’t ready until now.  His death has been hard for me to process in a lot of ways. I know death is never easy, and cancer can be a horrible way to die, so I don’t fault my dad for his decision. What I do wish in hindsight is that it wasn’t illegal in Idaho to end your own life, in cases of terminal illness. That’s the choice my dad made, rather abruptly in my opinion and like all grieving children I would have given anything to have more time with him. But I think he was afraid. I think he was afraid that he w...

Day Care

Jenica is going to daycare for the first time this afternoon. I think I'm having a much harder time with it than she will. The lady that will be watching her one day a week also watches my friend Brandi's son, so Jenica will get to play with Judah while she's there. There are also a few other kids that come on Thursday afternoons so I'm sure she will have lots of fun. I know I can't have the best of both worlds (stay at home mom and career woman), it's just hard to have to leave my baby girl with someone who doesn't love her like I do. It's times like these when I wish I didn't live so far away from my family, so Jenica could just spend an afternoon with her Grammy or her cousin Kayla instead of having to go to a strangers house. Rob and I have weighed the pro's and con's and feel like a little time with other kids will actually be good for Jenica right now and will allow me to focus on work with out worrying about what Jenica could be gettin...
