We Will Miss You Gram Gram!

This past Sunday morning at 12:13am, Gram Gram Hatch passed away. She was such an amazing and strong woman. We are so happy Michael was able to spend the first 6 months of his life with her. She had an amazing energy every time we were around her. Even last week when we brought Michael to see her, she seemed to perk up and respond to her Great-Grandson. We sat Michael on the bed next to her and she reached over and held his foot or hand- all though he did spit up on her blanket and tried to pull her oxygen tubing off of her a couple of times, it was great to see her respond to his presence. We will miss her dearly and she will always be held in a special place in our heart!

Where does the time go?

How is it possible that my Baby Boy is already 6 months old? It was a half of a year ago that I was in Presby Dallas having my little Michael Bear! Now my Lil' Man is rolling across the room and trying desperately to crawl! Not long from now he will be running around the house and climbing the walls!!!

We had the 15th Annual Crawfish Boil this year on May 2nd and it was a little bit wet, to say the least. I think we had 3 rounds of monsoons throughout the party~ that did not stop us though- I think there were about 50 people who came by to partake in the festivities:) Always a great time to see friends and family! We had so many babies this year! Michael, Charlie, Elly, Abby, John...and next year they will all be running around plus some more!!! Our big annual party is turning into a family event:)

In April, Michael and I went to Atlanta for Steve and Lorraine's Wedding Shower. It was great to see everyone, unfortunately, Michael brought a stomach virus with him and decided to share it with the family. He started by getting sick on the plane, passing it to me, then I was sick all day Saturday (no fun at all!!!) then Owen, Pops, Nana, Presley and so on got it the following days- so, so sorry!!! Luckily the shower went great and everyone had a great time! Michael was able to play with his cousins Presley and Hannah Blanche, which he loved and they wore him out:)

Thomas Manley Haggerty

My brother Joe and his wife Susan welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby boy named Thomas Manley Haggerty on April 30th. He is so PRECIOUS and PERFECT! I only wish I could have gone to Alabama to meet him when he was born! Unfortunately, I am all out of days due to my own maternity leave:( Luckily we will be able to meet our nephew this June when we pass through Mobile on our way to Atlanta for Steve's wedding!!!
I mean seriously...look at those cheeks and that sweet little mouth!!!
