Since this is basically a diary documenting the kids lives, this is just a quick post.
After church yesterday (where Joey lit two candles - one for Pop and one for his Grandma) I took Joey to the cemetary to visit Pop's grave. At first he hid his eyes and didn't want to go - told me it would make him too sad. Well we got lost in Calverton looking for him - so he couldn't keep hidden for that long. He opened his eyes and realized that it wasn't that scary of a place. We found Pop's section and then wandered around in the rain for another 15 minutes looking for him.
Joey handled it really well. Talked a little and asked if he could bring a picture the next time we went.
Then we went to Toniann's house - another step that he was scared to take b/c it would be weird to be there without Pop. We walked in and he went into Pop's room by himself - only for about 30 seconds - came out and then played with his cousins. He told Toniann about how he went to the cemetary and that he was sad but he understood. So he is handling this about as well as I can hope.
Miss you Pop.

I am sorry I haven't been around lately. I am glad that Joey did well with going to the cemetary. Your little boy is growing up.
Take care!
