Luke and I were lucky enough to spend time with my grandfather while Joe was in DC for work. It's only been a few months since my grandmother passed, and their home just isn't the same with her gone. But it was so nice to be able to bring Luke to visit and see the smile he brought to Grandpa's face. He loves this baby! He sits and talks to him and smiles at him and I can see the spark that's been dimmed since my grandmothers passing slowly flaming up again. Just another reason why this baby is such a miracle, he's able to bring joy even in the midst of our grief. There were plenty of tears when my grandfather said he just wished that Grandma could have met him. So do I, so much. But there are so many times when Luke will look past me and just start smiling like crazy, and I'm sure that she's there with us. I hate that I can't see her or touch her, but I know she loved me and I know she's got to be just as crazy about Luke as the rest of us are. Of course she's coming to visit him!

| Great Grandpa and Luke |
Spending time with Great-Grandpa is pretty low key. We mostly hang out at home, although we did venture out a few times to have breakfast together. I'm looking forward to when Luke is a little bigger and we can get out a little more together.
We also were able to see my parents while we were there, and Luke's Grandma came over bearing loads of gifts as always. She loves a reason to shop, and if a baby doesn't get you buying, I don't know what will!
