Gram


Julianne's Great Gram passed away recently and this post is just to honor Gram and her memory. She was a very special lady with a big heart and here are some of our favorite memories of Gram:
*Gram was visiting us in Houston the first time Julianne laughed out loud. Gram kept saying that it was because Julianne thought she was "funny looking."
*Gram going after Justin with a wooden spoon
*Gram buying beer for Justin in high school
*Gram saying the Morning Prayer with us when we said goodbye after Vanderbilt Graduation
*Her wonderful visits to Nashville, Atlanta, and The Woodlands
*Gram being the target of a velcro ball in the Poconos
*Gram's love of Wine Spritzers and Creme de Menthe
*Gram's love of life and family
*Gram's quiet faith and listening ear
I like to think of Gram as an angel now and she is certainly in a better place free of the physical and emotional turmoils of this life. She is a reminder to us all to love completely and "to live and let live" or as she put it "to each his own", to not be critical of others, and to have faith.

Camryn and Julianne

We visited our best friends, Todd and Cara in Athens, GA after Christmas. We met Madalyn Diane Lacey, their newest addition and she is precious. Camryn is 3 and was a great playmate for Julianne. Jules is appropriately wearing her CNN PJ's when in the state of GA. Thank you, Aunt Liser.

Playing Catch Up

I have been lazy about updating this blog or maybe I have just been too exhausted considering my precious daughter has been waking up at all hours of the night. Thankfully, we are getting tubes put in her ears in one week from today and this should alleviate the pain from the fluid. I wish the procecure was tomorrow. Julianne turns 2 in 2 days which is insane. The picture is from Christmas in Williamsburg with Gamma and Gumps and the rest of the Chatigny clan. Pictured is Julianne's cousin Noelle, Gamma, and Julianne eating a candy cane at the William & Mary Bookstore. She had a marvelous Christmas and is still talking about "Santa." I will update the blog after the big blowout birthday party that takes place this Saturday. We look forward to Gamma and Gumps being here for the special day.
