Family Update

So many things have happened the past few weeks. Some beyond the moon happy and some beyond the moon sad. Let's get to the happy first. On August 4th my baby brother became a Dad! Holy Cow, what a trip! Julia Rae was born 6 lbs 9 oz and is just beautiful. She looks so tiny in Brooks's big ole' arms. Both mom and baby are doing well. Heather did AWESOME during the delivery. It was the most fun I have had in a long while. (I was the camera girl) We are so blessed to have this new addition to our family.

Brooks moved to Virginia last Monday. I felt so bad for him having to leave his new little one and his beautiful wife. They will join him in October. He started school yesterday and has a grueling two years ahead of him. He will be glad when it is finished.

Now to the very sad. Last Monday, August 18, our beautiful cousin Kassie (age 27) and her little boy Jerym (age 8) were killed in a car accident while she was taking her two boys to school. Our hearts are broken. Jace (age 6) survived the accident and is currently in a children's hospital. There are no words to bring comfort to the family. She is survived by her husband, son, and two year old daughter. Her parents and brothers are grief stricken as well as all of us who love them. We will miss them terribly.
