A great man

No posts for a while, I know. Sorry about that. It's been a long, busy few weeks since I last posted. On September 11, my uncle Jeff passed away quite unexpectedly. He was just here in July with my mom, brother and sister to bring us all sorts of great baby stuff. I'm so thankful and happy that I got to see him then and show him our house and Austin. I'm sad that he won't get to meet his great-niece, but he was here, playing cards, when I felt her kick for the first time.

Jeff was a great man. Giving, caring and fun. Always fun. Always with corny jokes and one liners. And always up for playing some euchre.

Doug and I were able to go home for the funeral. I was just a couple weeks short of not being able to travel anymore and I'm really glad that we could go. It was good to be there with the family and to see everyone.
