My Grandma

My grandma, Donna Ward, passed away this morning around 3:00 a.m. Her four children (one being my mom) were there with her. I was lucky enough to have spent the last two days at her apartment.

She was very quiet and slept all day yesterday. Last night aroung 10 p.m. we got some response from her. She was still trying to communicate. My mom told me that around 11 p.m. (I left just before that) my mom and her sister both told my grandma that they love her, and my grandma clearly said, "I love you too" to each of them.

She is in Heaven now with my grandpa. I am so happy for that. She is also pain free.

Please Pray for my Grandma

Please say a prayer for my grandma. She hasn't been feeling well. She fell on Thursday in her apartment which resulted in stitches to her cheek and a good-sized bump. She is needing a lot of care right now with hospice, the staff in her apartment building, and my mom and her siblings. I pray that she is safe, gets relief from her constant pain, and has some peace.

Here is my grandma last Easter with William. She looks really good here considering everything she has been through.

Another Picture...

I just thought this picture was cute of William so I thought I would post it!

More Christmas Pictures...

These pictures were taken the night before we left for England (December 20, 2007). We celebrated an early Christmas with my family. William loved his new toys! He also got an SCSU outfit from his uncle Ryan and a UST outfit from his uncle Kevin!

William loves Ravioli...

What can I say? He takes after his mom and dad...he loves food and makes sure he thoroughly enjoys it!

I bought a can of Annie's organic ravioli for him to try (I'm sick so heat it and eat is what was for lunch). He ate 3/4 of the can!

First Haircut!

My baby had his first haircut on Thursday, January 10th. It was getting in his eyes and growing over his ears, so we decided we had waited long enough. It was time to get a haircut. We did request that he still look like a baby though! He did really well and was very interested in what was going on. We took him to Kids Kut where he got to sit on an animal and watch a cartoon. Of course he was way more interested in trying to watch the stylist. Eventually he got brave and took his hands off the handles of the animal and tried grabbing for the scissors!

We meet for the first time!

I have belonged to a mommy message board since around the time William was born. We are all first time moms who have gotten to know each other online. They have been such a wonderful support since I gave birth to William.

Beth is a fellow mommy on the message board, and her husband is from England. We were both planning to be in England over Christmas, so we decided to meet each other (we live far away from each other in the states as she's on the east coast). We picked a day and met up in Oxford. It was great to meet her, her husband, Lawrence, and their daughter, Alex. I felt like I already knew Beth from all our time spent sending messages on the board. It was great to meet her in real life (Alex and her husband too!).
