Hannah :: 18th Birthday!

My little sister is turning 18 in a couple of days. My family celebrated her birthday a few days early because my brother and I couldn't be there on the actual day. :(

Just a couple of shots. Check out her sweet birthday cake, mocha flavor!

South Carolina :: Day 6

My last full day here!!! Sad day! I have loved being here and seeing Omi and Opa. I was not a happy camper being so far away and not knowing. Although he still has a long way to go, Opa is recovering nicely.

While I'm typing, Opa is working on a 100 piece puzzle. Go big or go home!! We worked on colors earlier.













Opa did the froggy and I did the bear!!

South Carolina :: Day 5

I am currently sitting and watching the football game, Packers and Bears. I have always liked watching football, but have never felt that passionate about it, but for what ever the reason, I'm so nervous! Maybe it's because I'm from one of the rivaling states, or maybe that, even though I'm some 900 miles away from there, I can still feel tension in the air. Stress.

Putting all that aside! I just took a few shots today of some of my favorite people, (and their car :)

South Carolina :: Day 4

It always amazes me. We talk the night before about how the next day is wide open and relaxation will most likely monopolize it. No matter how many times that statement is made, the day magically fills, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so happy to be with my family and being able to support them in any way I can. These two mean an awful lot to me. :)



Even though it was a bit late, we celebrated Omi's birthday today. I was so excited for Omi to open her present that I forgot to photographer her doing it!

South Carolina :: Day 3

Was walking around the yard yesterday and just took whatever I felt like. I need to do that more, wander around with my camera and just shoot!

Opa was working on 24 piece puzzles when I came a couple days ago but today he rocked a 48 piecer! Woohoo!! We are working with letters and he is surprising me with how well he's doing with numbers.

South Carolina :: Day 2

So perhaps the car wash photos aren't as magnificent as I promised, but what was magnificent was going outside and not instantly losing the feeling in my fingers. I forget how much I love ( and need ) the sun. After a flurry of doctors and therapy appointments this morning, the three of us sat in the driveway and soaked up as much sun as possible. Hopefully, when returning to the gray skies and snow, I will have soaked in enough to last me until spring.





Opa watched a gave direction from the garage.







Also, I never thought I would ever, EVER wear crocks, but I forgot my car-washing shoes at home. This shows how much I love Omi, also my leather boots.



Nice and clean!





Later in the evening, Bill and Kristina, some good friends joined us for coffee and Stollen. I'm very thankful and relieved that they have such wonderful friends to help and encourage them.



Sorry for the grainyness...didn't bring the flash.

South Carolina :: Day 1

Yesterday, I flew down south to be with my Omi and Opa (grandma and grandpa). Opa suffered from a stroke around Christmas and although is doing better, still needs assistance in some areas. Some of those areas being communication, reading and writing. My mom was here just a couple days ago and wrote the alphabet and numbers on flash cards.





We practiced both today and he did great. Some magnificent car wash photos to follow! :)
