Grandbaby Update!

I just love Saturdays!! We get to babysit Charlee and Bailey while Justin is working and Krista is at school!! When Dave isn't on call he comes with me - we love spending the day with them! Bailey is growing perfectly and Charlee is becoming such the little Princess!Bailey is starting to make noises and reach for and grabbing things and just smiles from ear to ear!! She had a doctor's appointment this week and she is doing very well, right where she's supposed to be! and Charlee is just too darn smart for her age, I swear! It was so funny, for Valentines Day she told Justin she wanted watermelon, an apple, ice cream and chocolate milk! And he got it all, even the watermelon! We always get Dunkin Donuts when we go babysit - Charlee loves to eat the top part and leave the rest of the donut! She's so funny!

We are just loving being Grandparents and so glad we get to spend so much time with them as we do - we love every minute!! Can hardly wait for next weekend when Charlee spends the weekend with us - she loves having a sleepover!

Nothing much else is going on these days. Heather and Alan are doing well, Alan is back to work, and things are getting on track for them!

It's been kinda chilly here in the Sunshine state lately, especially in the mornings, even have had frost on the ground, go figure! But by the afternoon it warms up. I am looking forward to the warm weather and spending more time at the pool or the beach this year since I don't have to work weekends anymore - YAY!

Not much more to write about tonight! Just wanted to update with a few Grandbaby pictures!!

Love,

Cheryl

Remembering Uncle Eddie

It's been a couple weeks since I blogged. The year has not started out very well. On February 2nd I lost my hero, my Uncle Eddie. He had been not well for a while and lost the battle. I can't tell you how deep of a hole this has made in my heart. He was more of a Dad to me than an Uncle and was always, since I was a little girl, my hero. Whenever someone would tell me I looked like my Mom or Grandma, I'd say, "No way, I look like my Uncle Eddie!!" When I joined the Army, I wanted to go Airborne just like him and get an Airborne tattoo - just like him.

He touched so many people in his life and had so many friends, who I am sure can tell lots of stories of good times with Uncle Eddie. You see, with him there was NEVER dull moment. Whether it be at home aggravating Grandpap, at the bar (his bar - Fat Eddies), at his camp huntin, or at the Legion - he always made someone laugh, and was very well respected wherever he went!

We will all miss you, Uncle Eddie. STS
