The Circle of Life...

This past week has been very bitter sweet for our family. My brother in law and sister in law adopted a beautiful baby and are bringing her home to the family as I write this. We are so super excited for this new addition to the family and a little girl to boot! WAHOO!!!!

I am so proud to be an Auntie. I have no siblings so being an Aunt is something I will treasure in my heart forever. I (as well as all the Gregory boys) are so excited to meet this new addition! Welcome home sweet baby girl!

On a very somber note... Jon's beloved Gram and my boys GG, past away this past week. It was sudden, we all thought she would live until she was 100... She was an amazing women. She lived every day of her life, enjoyed all her family and friends, traveled, loved, and laughed alot. She will live in our hearts forever.

Lucy was my surrogate Gram as both of mine passed away several years ago. She was classy, loving, fair and a HUGE Red Sox fan. She adored being a grandmother but held a very special place in her heart for her Great Grandkids. Matthew and Jacob were so very lucky to share some cherished memories with her and I know when they are grown they will appreciate those moments. Here are a few pictures of their very first meetings..





Above: Matthew and GG's first meeting in March 2007... It was love at first site!



Jacob and GG's first meeting. She was overjoyed to have another Great Grandson... December 2009.



Here is a picture of Jon and Gram at a wedding a few years ago. She was cutting a rug well into her 80's. Gram holds a very special place in Jon's heart. Over the years he has spent alot of time with her. Enjoying jeopardy, and watching bowling. She (and Arty) even took Jon to Disney for his very first real live encounter with Mickey Mouse. His love for her runs very deep...and his heart is broken by her passing.



Gram (GG) Lucy you will forever live in our hearts and our spirit. Thank you for loving so openly and honestly. You are one beautiful person! Inside and out....


Baby Allison we are so overjoyed to have you in our family to share in the love and laughter!


and so the circle of life continues on.....
