Grandma Bladergroen

 Kate had her first "road trip" (unless you count the Gardens mall ;) Brett, Kate and I headed to Fort Myers, just for the day, this past Thursday to visit his family there, especially his sweet Grandma who wasn't doing well and had yet to meet her great granddaughter.

I wish that the roadtrip was the only news, but now we are celebrating the life of that wonderfully sweet Grandma Bladergroen. She went to heaven last night, and we find peace and comfort in the fact that she is no longer suffering and is now with Grandpa. She lived a beautiful 88 years, raising 7 children. What a blessing she was in all of our lives!

This was back in January, when Grandma first "met" her great granddaughters :)

This was from just a few weeks ago, when she met Aubrey (the other baby bump in the picture above), her first great granddaughter.

 This picture is from Thursday, actually meeting Kate :) Grandma was pretty sleepy from her medicine, but when Kate was crying and we told her "This is Kate, your great granddaughter, Kacy & Brett's baby," her eyes LIT UP and she oohed and aahed. That's what she's doing in this picture. We are so thankful for our visit with her. 

A couple more pictures from our visit Thursday...

Kate with her Grandpa and some more of Grandma's children :)
