Missing Grandma!! And Allergies....

Since the last post, Valentine's day was soooo much fun for Olivia at school. She had a big party and gave away goodie bag's and came home with even more. Eyeyeye, there are still little heart stickers everywhere. But it was definitely fun. Well Olivia has been diagnosed with allergies, she had a cough and a severe runny nose, so when we went to the doctor, they told us it was allergies, while i was confused that a cough was a symptom of an allergy. Anyways she has been taking the claritan prescription for about a week now, and the cough is gone, the runny nose is getting better we are just still concerned about her asthma. So hopefully everything gets better and stays great!! We are really missing grandma, although we know the date she comes home now and we are very excited for that. We haven't been able to talk to grandma much lately since she has been so busy, however we have been talking to aunt jenny and cousin addy. What a cutie in her birthday pictures!!! I think a visit from them is due soon!!!!????!!!! We are making plans for mommy's birthday and look for some cute St Patrick's Day outfits!! No being pinched for Olivia!!

Grandpa's and Indiana and Snow

This is being posted well after the events because, i didn't have time to. But here it goes anyways. About 2 days after i was getting better from pink eye at 6am my mom called me and said we needed to find a plane ticket for my dad, because his dad, my grandpa, was sick and not doing very good, i found a ticket bought it and called her back with the info. about twenty minutes after that, she calls me back and said he had already passed away. So, my dad flew that day to Indiana, and my mom, Olivia, and i flew the next day. This was very hard for my dad, because he has no parents left here now, i only have one grandma. Olivia is very lucky to have her grandma and grandpa with her all the time. While we were in Indiana we spent time with my sister and her daughter Addilyn, the cutest little thing in Indiana!! However, I realized that she doesn't get grandma, and grandpa like Olivia does. I don't know how i missed this fact, but it just "clicked" all of the sudden. It was great being in Indiana with family, even though there was snow. Oh yeah, the snow, the day of the funeral, everyone was panicking because there was a big snow storm coming that night, Olivia loved it!! Her uncle Marvin gave her a ball of snow, and she just held it, saying "coo, coo" then she gave it to me. When the snow was falling and went in her eyes, she did great and just covered her face while i was stuck carrying her in the snow trying to see still. All together it was a great trip, with the exception of the loss of my grandpa, however i believe he is in a much better place, and back with grandma, where they belong together!! The hardest part was seeing my dad so upset, I am a big daddy's girl, and there is nothing worse than seeing this man of concrete, who can make me feel in trouble even at the age of 26, cry.
