Who couldn't love this face?

Only 1 month left!

Licking her lips and waiting for her first cake. Chocolate? Strawberry? Lemon?

It's really only Tuesday?

I looked at Sandy today and said "it's Wednesday right?" She corrected me with a simple reply of "Tuesday Rhiannon. Tuesday." It's hard to believe that 4 days ago the Howe patriarch was admitted to the hospital, he was finally released today. It was decided that he would live out his remaining days in the house that he built with the family that he raised there. Jess and Adrian flew in from Los Angeles, Aunt Connie and her motley crew drove up from Virginia and the rest of us are here as always, spending days and nights together as a family should at this time.

While it seems hard to find positive thoughts right now there are a few that stick out in my mind. I'm happy that Justin and I have been able to be here the last 5 months and that we have re-connected with his family. I'm honored that the Howe family has so graciously welcomed me into the family with open arms and love in their hearts. Finally, words cannot express how wonderful it has been to watch Tatum with this side of her family. While she may not have many memories of her Great Grandpa Red, she will have lots of pictures and feel the presence of his love.
