Tearful Saturday

Tears at a funeral, swimming lessons and birthday party. Today Jaci attended the Funeral of Brad Noll. Brad, the husband of Ann Noll a dear friend and previous coworker of Jaci's, was also the father of 3 children. At 38 his death was sudden and unexpected. He was a man who gave all for his family and will be missed in a huge way. Glenn is scared to go underwater, probably the fault of his father, oh well. He cried when the instructor tried to coax him to give it a shot. Then we headed to the party of a classmate, Julia, at Monkey Joe's. He would not wish Julia a Happy Birthday and only wanted to jump, jump, jump. After many tears and a quick hug from Julia, he opened up to say Happy Birthday, can I have cake please? At least he said please. And then he an his buddy AJ jumped, jumped, jumped and jumped some more. This afternoon we napped lazily and talked of life. We are so thankful for all we have. It seems Grace, yes a little girl is on the way, will have a middle name though we have not yet settled on the right one.
