Another Homegoing


My grandmother, Barbara Terrance, (Great Nana or "Grape Nana" to Elias) went home to be with the Lord early this morning. She never woke up from an outpatient procedure she had done yesterday morning. Thankfully, we were already here in Massena, and had time to visit and play with her on Thanksgiving. She loved Elias to pieces and he definitely loved her. We will certainly miss her and can only imagine the joy she is experiencing in heaven!!

Lots of Catching Up...

It has been way too long since I've posted an update. Everytime I sit down at the computer, the phone rings, Elias wakes up from his nap, or the laundry calls out to me, or more frequently, the computer freezes...So, today it's meant to be! I've posted a hodge-podge of pictures from the last few months and I'm going to try my best to get caught up.
Elias helped me make Felipe's b-day cake. His 41st birthday was on Oct. 7th, a Wednesday, but I didn't make the cake until Friday, oops! But the double layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting was pretty yummy, and I made it from scratch!
It was a brisk October day after it rained, but we needed some fresh air. I love this boy!

Splashing in the puddles


Elias fell asleep after a very busy day with Nana & Papa. Elias never falls asleep outside of his bed (unless he's riding in his carseat), but he was exhausted. He held on tight to his car, though!


Hanging out at the waterfall behind the Burrville Cider Mill for hot homemade donuts and apple cider...so yummy!!


Elias reading with Aunt Kiki.
Back in September, we celebrated 3 family birthdays in one night...our Birthday Bash!

Elias and Aiden dancing outside Mama Lucia's...the restaurant we had birthday dinner at. The boys needed a break and to stretch their legs.


Aiden and Elias are true buddies and have fun everytime we go to Massena to visit family.




Being silly with Kiki!!

We Miss You, Papa Adams

Our Dear Papa Adams went home to be with the Lord today...
Felipe's dad made such an impact in his life that I will be forever grateful to him!
We look forward to the day when we will see him again in heaven!
Thank You, Lord for the Sure Hope & Joy of Heaven!
We love you, Papa Adams!

Boo-Boo

Elias bonked his nose one day and asked me for a band-aid, even though there was no cut or scratch on it. I obliged because I KNEW it would look so cute that I would need to take a picture of it. Oh, and he's playing with one of his most favorite toys...his Mack Truck (from Cars movie). Everytime he sees the movie, he memorizes another line from it...It is so cute when he says, "I'm not a Mack, I'm a Peterbilt!"

Slip 'n' Slide






Elias had fun with the Slip 'n' Slide at Nana and Papa's house. He needed a little bit of coaxing at first, but had more fun trying to drink the water than sliding on it. But, Uncle Josh took a few turns sliding down it, which was fun to watch.

Meet Nora Mae

My sister, Julann, and her husband, Mike, welcomed their sweet little bundle of joy on Aug. 7th at 4:56 am. Nora Mae weighed 8lb.6oz., 21.5 inches long. I cannot wait to get out to Washington to cuddle up with my new niece! Congratulations and lots of love to the new parents!


~These are pictures from Julann's cell phone, all I have right now, but I will post more after Elias and I go out to Washington to visit next week~

Elias and his buddy, Aiden

We were in Massena a few weeks ago, and Elias got to play with Aiden while were were there. They had so much fun and actually played together this time, not just side by side. They were so silly, copying each other and somehow toward the end of their playtime, they ended up with their shirts over their heads....
They were cracking each other up!!

They asked Papa to join their "Shirt over your head club", and of course he joined them.
The boys were reading books together on the couch, until they heard Papa come back on his motorcycle.....
And they ran to the door to see him on his motorcycle.

Elias loves to "Party Dance", as he likes to call it. He had lots of fun with Aiden this trip!
