My Grandfather John passed away last Sunday; but I'm not eloquent enough to write about that. What I am prepared to write about is the fact that I'm leaving Spencer and Kate alone for 3 whole days. I'm going to Seattle for the funeral this weekend. Since I've been married, over 4 years now, I have never been without either Spencer or Kate. Not one single day. Kate apparently knows this, or I'm just paying more attention today. This morning she and I were out shopping and she asked to buy baby sister some Binky's ( a first that she wants to buy the baby something instead of something being bought for her). Kate then asked (read: didn't throw a tantrum) if she could get out of her stroller and she pushed the stroller all the way to the car while making engine noises. When I buckled her into her car seat she told me to be the mommy cat and she'd be the baby cat and she nuzzled my check. When we got home I felt like watching Mary Poppins while we had a picnic lunch in the living room. She feel asleep in my lap. Life can be really really good. I know my Grandpa would want me to see things that way.

That's so sad about your grandpa. It's really hard being away from your husband and daughter. I hope you did okay. Kate's a cutie!
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa. Hope you're doing well. But I am so excited to hear about your new baby on the way! Congratulations!
p.s. If that is your mom, in the previos post, she seriously looks more like your sister. What a way to turn 50!
