"Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way." –Barbara Bush
Wow it’s almost August...this summer is flying by. We’ve been very busy, but we haven’t done any of the things we did last summer. We just haven’t found the time to do the beautiful hikes or visit some of our favorite places. Although, we're having a great time. Hopefully we'll make our way back to some of those gorgeous spots before we go home in the fall.
The past few weeks have been all about family. The unexpected passing of my Daddy took us home to Texas for a week. It's unfortunate that it takes a funeral for families to find time to get together. It was a sad time, but also a celebration of my Daddy's life. He was 89 and lived a wonderful life, full of amazing travels to amazing places and in the end he left this world as he had wanted...he laid down for a nap and never woke up. He was able to take care of himself to the very end and that's the way he wanted it. So even through a few tears and the pain of missing him, we celebrated his life and the life he gave all of us.
The rest of July was spent in Pennsylvania, playing Nanny to Graham and Cora and celebrating our oldest son's birthday. We love to cruise but we really enjoy spending time with our kids and their families...it's what makes our life complete. We feel blessed that we can spend so much time with all our grandwonders and their parents.
These kids are growing up way too fast...they are little people now. Not babies.
