Even though Matt's Grandpa Charlie passed away last May, the family reunion/celebration of life didn't take place till December. We joined over 60 people in Omaha, NE right after Christmas for a few days. Savvy fell asleep during the actual service, but Cass was riveted and engaged the whole time. We were pretty surprised at her ability to not just pay attention, but really take it all in. Hearing the stories about her great grandpa and seeing the pieces of his life in random remnants along the tables brought him to life for her in a way that was very different from her actual real life interactions with him! Something about seeing him through everyone's eyes maybe? I'm not sure, but I am sure both girls had a great time seeing everyone and meeting family they hadn't yet met in person before. We got in to Omaha on Christmas day. Not many folks were in town yet. We went out to a buffet for dinner and it was amazing! The first day at the pool was frigid...
The escapades of Savannah Joy and her big sister Cassidy Grace are the primary reason for this blog's existence. However, I also throw in random thoughts, photographs, adventures and other tidbits to keep it interesting :-)
