Honoring a Great Grandma...

The morning after Kaleb's birthday, we learned that Great Grandma Kozitka had passed away.  We knew she wasn't doing well and Gamma (my mom) had been with her for most the week.  Grandma Kozitka was a wonderful woman.  An incredibly hard worker who loved her family dearly and totally 'got' kids.  She raised 11 of them, of course she understood little kids.  Last year, we traveled to Minnesota in the heart of winter for Grandma's annual birthday party.  It was a great day with family.  And, that night- we stopped by the nursing home to say hi one more time.  And, this is the moment we shared and captured.  Kaleb at just 10 months old and Grandma at 86 playing together.  I absolutely love it! 

So, this past week- we took the unexpected trip back to Minnesota to honor a really great Grandma.  It was really great seeing so many family members- some of which Kaleb met for the first time in person. Kaleb's favorite part- chasing the cousins and kids through the church. 


Thankfully, he had just gotten over the icky-stomach bug so was going full speed at this point.
