Nashville traffic is insane.

I am soooo behind in updating this for my lurkers back in Mississippi and in going through pictures taken. I can't seem to condense pictures of particular moments down to one or two, so the last few months will come through in several belated posts.

This past mid-November my grandfather died. Although not completely unexpected, suffering through so many ailments and diseases, he had teetered at the brink for so long that his death still came as a surprise. He is missed every day, but I know for him passing on to heaven must have been a huge relief.

Travelling back to Mississippi with the girls for the funeral was not easy, but thankfully due to Andy and Mandy, much smoother than I had expected. Aly is a first rate traveller, with a brief lapse in vomiting due to heat and evil Nashville traffic. Lorelei is two and even treated the ride much better than I could have imagined.

Being together with family, visiting with members I hadn't seen in a few years was a highlight in a sad time. Grandaddy's great-grandchildren are all female, which made the meal after amusing. 

Of course it would be Aly clapping and throwing her arms up.

Hailee is so awesome.

The trip was fast, traveling two days and staying one, so we enjoyed every moment spent together.
