Grandpa West (Newrug)



My Grandpa was such a great guy. I will miss him each and every day.
He will be laid to rest tomorrow afternoon in Grass Valley. It will be a sad day but a day that will be filled with fond memories of my Grandpa as we celebrate his life.
Grandpa...you were everything a man should be; a great provider for your family with such strength and heart, the best Grandfather a little girl could ask for. It was an honor to be a part of your life. I loved listening to all your stories and that is something that I will cherish forever. I know you are in a better place right now and without pain. I will do my best to look out for Grandma for you until she is in your arms again. ♥♥♥ I love you ♥♥♥

Update

Time is just flying by! Dominic is now 2.5 and Olivia is 6 months already! How did 1/2 a year go by that fast - - oh yeah, I know, LACK OF SLEEP!!!
Little miss Olivia has stopped being a good sleeper - she has decided to take after Dominic and wake me up every 2 hours (or less)!! Oh well, what's a Mommy to do?
Dominic on the other hand is finally(!) sleeping thru the night in his OWN bed! He does make his way to Mommy and Daddy's bed once in a while but not every night like he use to.
Olivia had her 6 month check up on Monday and is doing great. She was 16 lbs 15 oz and 28 inches long! So that puts her 100% for height and 75% for weight. She is now eating rice cereals and pureed foods. She likes just about everything so far :) Peas, carrots, squash, pears, and bananas.
The kids are keeping me really busy and longing for some ME time and girlfriend time! But again, what's a Mommy to do? lol
Here are some recent pictures:
