My grandmother passed away on Monday, July 5th at the age of 97! She had a great life and I am so grateful that she had the opportunity to get to know Brody. He loved to visit her and go and see the fish at her facility. I am also thankful that she got to know about the baby that we are expecting in January. We know that she is in a better place now and is happy to be spending some long awaited time with my Grandpa again!
Over the 4th of July we camped with my good friend from home, Barb and her family. She has two little girls, Skylar (5) and Sydney (2). Brody had so much fun playing with them, especially his "girlfriend" Sydney. This was the first year he made it late enough to watch the fireworks and he seemed to like them for about the first 5 minutes. We also went to a parade, but he wasn't as interested in collecting the candy as the girls (only the tootsie rolls).
The next weekend we went camping at the Yogi Bear Campground in Fremont, Indiana. Brody once again had a lot of fun playing with the other kids and swimming in the pool. It was a hot weekend with a little rain, but we still had a great time!
We were at my parents for the majority of the week following my Grandmother's passing. During that time Brody was able to swim in their pool and even jump off the diving board! He has made a lot of progress since last year and seems to love the water.
Baby Raguckas Update: Everything is going well. We are at 15 weeks and the heartbeat was 152 at the last appointment. It will be another 5-7 weeks before we have the ultrasound where we can see the little peanut. I am starting to feel better but still have some bad days. Brody says that we are either going to name the baby Joe Pa (thanks to Jim) or Beckham (mom's favorite) - but of course that would only work if it was another boy!
