Granny Lois

 My Granny Lois passed away on August 18, 2021. She was 94 years old. She broke her arm in July and went to rehab. The day she was to be released, she tested positive for Covid. She was hospitalized and beat Covid. She wasn't eating and drinking during that time and she was too weak to recover. They sent her to hospice on August 16th. Jamie and I went to see her that night. She wasn't responsive, but I'm glad I went to see her and say goodbye. We Facetimed Jen and she got to say goodbye also. She died two days later. 

It was a private funeral just for the family. Some of the quilts that she made were laid across the pews. It was a special touch. 
All the granddaughters went up to spread the cloth over the casket
Josh was a pallbearer  
Covid has taken so much from people. It was sad that all the family and friends couldn't pay their respects. We couldn't visit with our cousins after the funeral like normal. Granny lived a long, good life and we will carry her memories with us.

She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

February 2025

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances.  Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
