Rest In Peace Great Grandpa Motor

Over the weekend we got the news that Great Grandpa passed away. He had been battling brain cancer for a long time, and it finally took its toll. He survived WAY past what the doctors had said, and was living his life as best he could. Was still doing a little traveling and hanging out. We always go see him and Grandma when we are in town, and Great Gpa always was so happy to hug the boys. We would talk for a while and always had such a nice visit. 

I waited until Monday morning to tell the boys about him. They were busy all weekend and I was at work, so it seemed like an OK time. Gavin knew Great Gpa's head was hurt, and told me "Now that he is in heaven, he won't have a headache, and he can be a doctor like he used to be." It was very sweet. Now I am off to Cincy for the longest time I will have ever left the boys. Wish me luck, I am not even gone and having a hard time!

{Austin 55 Months}

Dear Austie,

Today is your first day of the 4/5's class at Mountain School! You LOVE it there. Never any complaints, just pure excitement when you know you are going. You pack your clothes, boots, and food. You count down the hours. The only bummer about it, is that it doesn't start until 12:30pm!!! You want to go way before that!!!

You had an awesome day. You played in the creek, you and Milo built a dam, and we went on a long long hike with T. Marie. T. Marie told you all a story while you were sitting on logs in the dried up reservoir. It as a magical story time!

I love seeing you there, and I love getting to experience this with you. It really is the highlight of my week. Being with you boys in class is my absolute favorite...and I feel very lucky and blessed to be able to do so.

Love you Austin!

Momma
