Farewell

Josie and I took an unexpected trip last week. We headed back to western PA. The good news: We drove both the 7 hours up and the 7 hours back without stopping! My girl was able to survive a carseat for 7 hours at a time without getting out and without fussing and complaining. Big kudos to the big girl!

Now, for the sad news. We went home for a funeral. My grandma's. Josie's great-grandma's. It was a very sad week. My grandma, Effie Naomi Grossman, was one of the greatest, most incredibly generous and selfless people to ever walk this earth. She was such a wonderful lady. We will miss her greatly.

One of the best moments of Josie's infancy was when she went to PA to meet her great-grandma for the first time. The following two pictures show the immediate joy and elation that grandma was able to bring to this two-month old's face:
