We will miss you, Granny!

As we closed the year 2011, we said goodbye to a special woman in our lives, Jacob's maternal grandma -- fondly referred to as Granny. Granny passed away on New Year's Eve. She was such a great woman! Jacob has MANY fond memories of times spent with Granny. She loved to recount many of the stories of Jacob's childhood. She absolutely loved her grandchildren!

Here are a few pictures of Jacob with Granny & Papa growing up.









Our boys were her only great-grandchildren, so she spoiled them with gifts and love. Due to the distance, we only saw her a few times a year, but she enjoyed hearing stories of the boys' antics from Jacob's mom, Katy and Jacob in his routine phone calls.

My last picture of Papa and Granny.  Papa died a few months later on Halloween.

I like to picture the two of them reunited in Heaven celebrating New Year's Eve together :)

That first picture of Jacob as a little boy makes me think of Maverick and the second one of Mitchell!
