Is a year old today. It hardly seems possible that a year has gone by already. It looks like in another year he will be as tall as his momma at the rate he is growing. He is such a joy to be around. All bragging aside Cash is just plain wonderful. Wow, I sound like a grandma. :)
It can be frightful at times how much alike they were. They both loved animals, the outdoors, wind and rain storms, lightning and thunder but their politics weren't the same. It was something Sarah didn't let her Dad know and that was just as well. Her penchant for giving me a bad time, all in fun of course, is what makes her day and that is SO like Steve. He would frustrate me to no end at times and at others make me laugh till my sides ached. I believe he reveled in both. So when I told her that I was finding stuff I had no clue about or wondered what it was and that I was making a list to talk to him about the next time I visited him she laughed. Yes, it is a complaint list. She said she talks to Dad about me when she visits. I was hoping she would say she told him how much I miss him or how much I enjoy our grandson but no. Instead she said she tells him how I leave stuff on the couches, which drove him crazy, and there is no place to sit. To him I will say, things have changed a lot and not so much since he left us. We still love him like crazy and miss how much he loved to entertain us with his talk of politics or love of planes. So on occasion we roll our eyes or they glaze over in honor of those times...
This stuff just seems to be hanging on. I just heard that my sister-in-law Annette now has it. This is just great. We are supposed to get together for dinner on Wednesday. Hmmm...
I can't say that I got this from my kids or grandson. My head is plugged and the headache is nasty but the sore throat is gone. Was supposed to go to dinner with my dear mother-in-law but I can't. I forgot to pick up my prescription yesterday so I had to go this morning and I tried not to expose any body to this stuff while I was out. I went to the walk up window at Bi-Mart picked up my meds and came home. If it wasn't for the throbbing headache I actually would go to sleep but that is not going to happen...
I had already started planning a surprise party and it would have been loads of fun. It was another first for me, my first birthday and his without him. The girls and I did what we always do and that is have dinner together. Though he wasn't there physically, he was there in spirit. We are coming up on another first, his grandson's first birthday and it will be tough but we will get through this too...
ETA: This was taken in Tillamook by Sarah.
It is another weekend filled with friends, food, laughter and of course scrapbooking!! This time it is local. It is being held at the Shilo Inn so if I forget anything I can come home and get it.
Have a good weekend everybody!!
Okay, I will admit at this age a party isn't really for him so much as it is about him. He had a couple of firsts. He learned how to eat birthday cake with no clothes on and how to open his very first birthday gifts. There were forty-four people in attendance and of those nine were children. He had three grandmothers and one great grandma there. He loved the cake and presents but didn't like the clean up. I didn't get pictures of that because people with cameras kept getting in my way. Hopefully someone used Sarah's camera and took some photos...
