The past week has been nothing short of horrible. First, my grandfather AJ Austin passed away. This was the second and last of my grandfathers to die. I have been so blessed to make it into my late 20s with all 4 of my grandparents still alive. However, in the past 3 years both of my grandfathers have passed away. I still have both of my grandmothers and I know they will live a long time. :-)

We had a gas leak and all the gas (propane) leaked out of the tank. Not only did about $300 go up into the air, the line had to be replaced which Dan and his wonderful father took care of. But, I haven't had hot water or been able to cook in 9 days...and counting. The line has been repaired and we are supposed to get gas tomorrow. I've been ridiculously stressed out over the past week or two over these things and more. If I had a cigarette I most likely would have smoked it.

We did manage to make it to McWane Center last weekend. Here are some of my favorite pictures. Oh, how she loved all the buttons and knobs!





In this last one, how is it that she is only 1? She looks about 6! I guess that's your sneak preview. :-)
