Good bye

Lexi and I traveled to Iowa to say goodbye to my aunt Sharon. Aunt Sharon was just beginning her battle against breast cancer when she came down with a very unexpected illness that her body could no longer fight. She is now with "Wings" and watching over us all. Aunt Sharon was a strong woman with a great sense of humor and always added a little bit of wit to her stories. She will be very missed by our family and friends. I remember when I was little and stayed over at her house. Even though you hate to have it be under these type of circumstances - it was great to see family that I hadn't seen in quite awhile and reconnect with cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Lexi enjoyed getting to play with her cousins, Trevor and Trystin, while I attended the services. We stayed at Papa and Nana's house and Lexi had lots of fun getting spoiled and playing with the dogs and running in the yard. It's a good thing Papa Larry loves me because I flooded his laundry room on the last night we were there. Wonder if we will get another invitation to come back. Here are some of Lexi's adventures during the few days we spent at my dad's house.Nana chose the big yellow school bus to bring some excitement to grocery shopping. Lexi, of course, didn't mind!We went to feed the ducks crackers and the ducks were way overfeed (I guess some other people had the same idea) so Lexi decided to eat the crackers.Helping Papa Larry rake leaves and when he was done, "I got to ride in the wheelbarrow!"Petting the dogs - there was a lot of love from them!
