A sad week for the Anderson family...


I just wanted to let everyone know that if I'm not keeping my blog up to date lately, it's because my grandpa Bob "the big bear" (Morgyn's great gpa, 81 yrs old) has been diagnosed with lymphoma and only given a few short months to live. Our family has been devistated by all this, since he's been in perfectly good health up until the last 2 weeks. So family's been by his side and we are just keeping him in our prayers, visiting him as much as possible telling stories about the past, anything to try and make him smile and know how much we all love him! As you can see via the pics, he's jaundice too! We all love him soo much and were so close with our grandpa! Please keep our family in your prayers, for guided strength throughout these difficult times.

Grandpa got out of bed to come and visit us all in the living room! We tried to get some photos of gpa bear and the kids, but as you can see, they were either fussy or fidgety! However, Morgyn really thought Grandpa Bear's walker was a pretty cool thing,...she was pushing it all over the house, showing him how to 'use' it :)


This is how we like our babies to travel,... sound asleep ;)
Morgyn in cousin Jaymin's swing,..she loved it because of the vibration I think!
Jaymin, where's your pants silly boy? Oh, I forgot,...

Mommy, if you aren't going to keep up the feeding,...then I'll just have to help myself to your fruit!!! What a BIG girl...she loves pineapple, strawberries and cantaloupe!

If there is anything that I or my mom and dad can do, please don't hesistate to get in touch. Please give him a great big hug and kiss, and tell him he is in our thoughts and prayers.
