Josh and I, and the babies are heading out again for a few days. My Grandpa Gray passed away last week and his funeral is on Saturday in Montana. We are leaving bright and early tomorrow morning to make the drive up to Simms, MT (near Great Falls). I am not excited for the 8 hour drive, but I would never miss his funeral.
Although I always lived quite a ways away from my Grandparents I always felt a deep love for them. My Grandma and Grandpa were sweethearts. All my memories of them were of them holding hands and Grandma sitting on Grandpa's lap. My Grandpa had a great sense of humor, and didn't hold back from telling a dirty joke every once in a while. He had a great mind all of his 91 years, and was a great story teller. I loved hearing stories about my Dad growing up and about how he met my Grandma. My Grandma died in 1999 and my Grandpa has been missing her since then, I am glad to have the knowledge that they are together again. Although he will be greatly missed I know me and my family will see him again someday.
So... keep us in your prayers as we make the drive tomorrow!! Hopefully the weather will stay good for us, and hopefully the babies will stay good for us as well!
P.S. I was really wanting to get all of our Christmas stuff posted, but I guess it will have to wait for a few more days!! Have a good weekend!

Meghan, I'm sorry to hear about your Grandfather. He sounds like he was a great man! Travel safely!
Hi Megan! I was so glad Camille found your blog and I had so much fun looking through all your pictures! Your boys are growing so fast and they are adorable! I definitley see a lot of you in them!:) And I had to tell you this...about the blog you posted on flying, I am totally with you all the way on that one! I get so panicked and scared and always tell Brooks the night before that I just can't do it, and you know what the Lord truly does answer prayers because everytime I fly I either sit by someone who helps me or I know someone on my flight! It's still hard traveling alone with 3 kids by myself! It was fun seeing pictures of your parents...I really love them they are so sweet! I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa though! I hope everything goes well in your travels! We'll talk to you soon!
Love Candice Pitcher
