Last week we recieved the sad news that Grandpa Jake passed away. He had lung cancer and had moved to hospice a few days prior. We are all thankful that he is no longer suffering, but we already miss him a lot. Lily Kate and I flew out to Iowa for the funeral. We had a blessed time with all of my family. Lily Kate got to meet her cousins- Nathan, Jadyn and Eric (she had never met Uncle Ryan or Aunt Sarah before either) I forgot my camera, so unfortunately we don't have any photos from the trip. This picture is Grandpa Jake and Grandma Mary when they came to visit this summer. They have been married 62 years!
Grandma Mary is an amazing seamstress and she made this pillowcase dress for Lily Kate out of a pillowcase that she embroidered. It is a little big right now, but should fit perfectly next spring/summer. Thanks, Grandma. We loved getting to visit with you...I just wish it had been under different circumstances.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your Grandpa Jake. He sounds like a wonderful man and I'm sure he will be greatly missed. Let me know if you all need anything.
