Tuesday morning we were sad to hear the news of David's Granddaddy passed away early that morning. After Ava's first Dr. appointment we headed out to Irving to meet up with the family. (which by the way Ava is now 7 lbs 9 oz and 19 1/2 inches long). I was very nervous about our trip home since Ava was only a week and a day old. But she did amazing! We only stopped once for her to eat both ways. Wednesday we made our way out to David's grandparents (about an hour away from Irving) for visitation. Ava once again did an amazing job with all the people. But first thing is first...she had to meet her Great Granny.
It was the sweetest and most amazing thing watching Ava fill Granny's heart back up with love. She was a much needed distraction to the week...helping her refill the hole that is now in her heart.

After a long 3 day week with family and lots of trips back and forth we are back in Abilene. We are still trying to settle into our little family of 3. Trying to figure out what these little cries mean, if she is hungry or not and what to do with all of those poopy diapers! Please continue to be praying for us and David's family as they start to move on from this week...hope all of y'all have a relaxing weekend!

I love my wife.
I almost cried when I read this post. My husband's dad passed away when Matti was only 3 weeks old. We too had to make several long car trips with a new baby. It was amazing to see how the baby's presence helped Matt's mom through it all, though!
