Birthday Thoughts

Yesterday I turned 31. I had a great birthday, I got spoiled and felt completely loved.
Yesterday Jonathan's grandpa died. He was 91. He had a heart attack and fell down the stairs yesterday morning and was gone in the evening. We found out about his fall yesterday but didn't find out about his passing until today. Jonathan will leave on Wednesday for his funeral. I mourn with the Olsens but am so grateful that he didn't suffer too much.
Learning about the passing of J's grandfather has made me think a lot about life. And what matters is people...our family, our friends, our neighbors. I am grateful for so many people in this life. (If you read this blog, you are one of them :) ).
I am incredibly thankful for my hubby and girlies. I took these pictures a few weeks ago and felt I should post them before I forgot about them. The girls are totally into dress-up right now. They love hats, sunglasses (obviously), wearing my shoes, and of course, bling jewelry. I thought this stage would come when they were older, but they are girly girls. And I want to treasure every stage with them, especially the fun, silly, girliness.

I'm sorry to hear about Jonathan's grandpa. It stinks when a loved one passes away. At least he is in a way better place now :o)
Your little girls are darling as always!
