Did you know that even if you put off blogging about something, the reality of it remains the same? Go figure. Well, the sad reality is that just days after returning from visiting, your great grandpa got very sick. He passed away on Tuesday, January 8th so we quickly made arrangements to make our way north again. We flew in on Friday and spent a few days with the family as we celebrated his life yet mourned our loss. While it didn't seem like a "capture the moment" kind of trip, I did take a few shots with my handy i-Phone.
Grandma R. went with us to the local science museum - a first for the both of you - and you played with a variety of fun things.

The 3 GREAT grandchildren
It was an interesting trip as you are at your most curious age, Jax. The viewing, funeral, and burial brought up so many thoughts in your busy brain...
Me: Jax, do you understand that Great Grandpa is in heaven now with Jesus?
You: Jesus isn't in heaven. He's in your heart!
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Me: We're going to Great Grandpa's house now.
You: Will he be there too?
Me: No, he'll stay in his casket at the funeral home.
You: Who will stay with him to make sure he's ok?
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
You: Why are we at the cemetery?
Me: So Great Grandpa can be buried in the ground.
You: What happens if the dirt gets in his eyes?
Your precious innocence is a treasure!
I pray that I live to see that innocence in my own great grandchildren some day.
(No pressure, boys!)
