What a good Papa he is . . .

Morgan and our sweet grandbabies are here visiting for a week. You can just imagine how excited we were to see them. We just can't seem to get enough of these sweet little girls. Sadly I had to work today but Don surprised Morgan and the girls by getting off work early and coming home to take the girls to the splash pad. He is such a good grandpa. He even took photo's with his phone and sent them to me (he has learned well) And with the ease of MEMORY MIXER I can scrapbook photo's and document memories in about 10 minutes. I love it !!! Lot's more memories to be made this week.

Just a little photo update on the lives of those I love . . . . These are just photo's of the littles. My big boys are not that cooperative. I am going to have to sneak photo's at baseball this week . . .

Say a little prayer . . . . 

This is Don's dad and Delainie. So glad she got here in time for him to snuggle with 

His health is declining and for the last month he has been in the hospital more than out of the hospital. He has multiple health issues that are taking a toll on his body. I guess I am amazed he has hung on as long as he has been able to. 13 years ago he lost his sight to diabetes. His kidneys are shutting down, he has two blockages in his heart and he has a very low platelet count. The doctors have been honest with the family and shared that he would be better off enjoying the life he has left at home vs. being in a a hospital. The hospice nurse came today. We love the hospice nurse who will be caring for John. It was the same nurse that took care of my friend Marge. She is fabulous. She will help to make sure she can help John be as comfortable as he can. He is actually in good spirits since he has been home. He just wants to enjoy what he has left. (here is hoping for 6 months + )  just include him and my family in your prayers. My heart just breaks for my kids. I know how hard it was on them when my dad passed and they had to see him so sick. Now it just brings everything back seeing Grandpa Paolacci sick. I am so grateful that we have an understanding that we will be together again as a family. What comfort that brings.

Morgan and Trent are in San Diego for the weekend and today they took the girls to Sea World. They said Malorie loved it and I cannot wait for her to get home and tell me all about the "whales"

Seriously in "LOVE" with my sweet little grandbaby. Take a look at those eyes. I think we are going to have dark hair, olive complexion and blue eyes !!!

So today Janna and I drove home from California. It is always nice to get one last night when the trade show is over so we are driving home late at night dead tired. We had a nice peaceful drive (I guess I shouldn't be talking - Janna drove the whole way - I think I may have dozed off a few times) She dropped me off at Don's office as we rolled into town and then Don and I headed to the hospital to visit his dad. I was so happy to see him doing to much better. What a relief. I think the Italian in him makes him a little to stubborn to miss Tina's wedding on March 10th. He's a fighter. Then I made it home to feed the family and catch up with my kids and hop on the computer for the Mixin Mania Crop from my friends at Memory Mixer. They are so fun and they help me to get at least one page done every week.

Morgan sent me this picture of Delainie while I was at CHA and I knew I couldn't wait to get home to scrap it. So I made it onto the facebook page with about 8 minutes to spare and joined them for their online class. 

Here is what I created (In about 15 minutes) I will get it printed from Costco to add to Delainie's album.

Now my house is quite and I think I will catch up on a few emails and head to bed in my big comfy bed !!!
