This morning we got the terrible news that our sweet Big Al had gone to be with Jesus.

Big Al, you will never know how truly missed you are going to be in this world. There is a huge hole in your absence and you mean so much to Raymond and me. I am so glad you got meet our sweet Georgia. Oh how you lit up when you held her!! Thank you for loving all of the Hamilton boys and their wives as though they were your own grands. We are all so lucky to have known you. You were larger than life and so respected. I will never forget the time that I was in the hospital, and so were you, only floors apart! You were so selfless to send your sweet Ann and Tina to come see me and visit with me even though you needed them much more than I did. You were always so thoughtful like that, and NO ONE will be able to bake your bread like you or make your spaghetti sauce. We still have some in our freezer : ) Please watch over us. Heaven is lucky to have such a wonderful new person walking through the pearly gates. We love you, always.
On a lighter note (I've shed enough tears this morning), I apologize for my lack of posting....our computer had to visit the laptop doc so the blogging has had to be put on hold while it was gone.....what in the world do people do without a computer at home?!?!?!? Every other word out of my mouth is, well let me just go look up _____, oh s*#@ the computer is gone.....but we are back in touch with reality again so I shall resume normal blogging hours next week. This weekend we are headed to Charleston! We are boating down the locks from the middle of nowhere to Charleston with about 18 other people!! I can't wait to spend hours on the boats, drink lots of adult spritzers, spend the night here, and have fun on the town.....I am so excited about a much needed break. I will have lots of pictures to post (from this weekend and the last few as well!)

And this little Bug is SUPER excited about spending the weekend with her Swoozie!!!!! She will want for nothing all weekend, and will also have a playdate with Aunt Callie at the pool! How lucky is this little girl?!?!?!?

And just because I needed a good laugh this morning....I had to post this. Has he gone off the deep end or what?!?!?!? Yes, my friends, that is part of the duo formerly known as Speidi.....

I hope you all have a great weekend! I have missed you! Thanks for all of the sweet comments about my new blog!! I am loving it!! Linds did a great job!!!

lots of love!!!

  10. God love you, Charlotte, for loving Big Al like we did. We will miss him terribly but feel so blessed he was in our lives and your lives.
    He loved children so - and was so thrilled to meet and hold Miss Georgia!
