A Week In The Life, Vol 14.
April we are here!
This week started off somber in our house as my grandpa passed away early Monday morning at almost 95 years old.
I got to see him Sunday evening when he was declining – and he knew we were there – then 12 hours later he was gone. It happened rather fast as he had just returned from Florida the week before, but like my dad said, you really can’t be sad with 95 great years. If we have to go… this is the way to go.
If you read these weekly posts, you may remember this photo we took just a few months ago with all of his great grandkids! I’m so glad we got it. Sorry Jordan, haha.
This happened so quickly that it’s still kind of hard to believe he’s gone when I look at these photos. He is the reason we go to my favorite place – he was born there! It’s surreal to think that this was my last living grandparent. Can’t believe I got to have my grandparents as long as I did.
We went about the rest of the week. It started out cold.
But it was nice enough to break out the sand!
Max is the cutest.
I love how adorable the once upon a farm print is for little sleepies! My life is made because they sent me these PJs. They are our favorite ones ever and I buy them constantly!
We had a little easter playdate with friends.
Max and Eddie went to the Pens game with our school. Why does Max look 18 here?!
When you win a free shirt!
And see your team jersey at the arena.
Then the last few days we had my grandpa’s viewing and funeral. We spent a lot of time with family and how cute are these cousins!
We didn’t dress them alike on purpose but they looked like twins! They are only two months apart. Also, Emilia in the background.
The kids were so great the last couple of days with everything going on. Only had a few moments of having to strip down and have snacks.
Our area had some of the high winds this weekend, so while we planned to do our easter egg hunt, it wasn’t possible outside. We ran around and found eggs inside instead!
Cutie cousins!!
We also made ice cream sundaes.
Baby Sebastian is the sweetest, smiliest boy!
The kids just love him. His cheeks are edible.
I mean I can’t even take him.
And we’re headed into Easter week. We’re excited to dye eggs and have fun family time.

I am so incredibly sorry for your life. I completely understand. I am 50 and still have a grandma alive – she is 92 and still lives by herself out in the country in Ohio. I absolutely adore her and have been so blessed to have her in my life as long as I have. Even though I know that and she has had a long, wonderful life, when the time comes, I know how very much I am going to MISS HER so I understand how you feel. He will always be a part of you in a very big way. Big hug to you…
So very sorry about the loss of your grandfather, Jessica. How fortunate that you were able to have so many wonderful years with him! Sending condolences.
I am sorry for your family’s loss. May his memory be a blessing. Amy
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your grandfather. While it’s true that living till 95-yrs-old in relatively good health is a wonderful blessing, I also know from experience that when you love someone, forever could never be long enough to spend with them. 95 or not, I know that this is a real loss for you and for your family. May you find comfort in the love and support of your family and friends, and in the beautiful memories of happy times spent with your beloved grandfather.
You were so blessed to have your grandfather for such a large part of your life – my sincere thoughts and sympathy for your family’s loss.
My deepest condolences on the loss of your grandfather. ❤️ What a handsome man.
So Sorry to hear about your grandfather, your father’s positive outlook on it is amazing. Glad the kids could hold there own, love the photo of Jordan in jeans, too cute.
it’s never easy at any age…may he rest in peace and may all your happiest memories get you through this sad time
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. The pics are priceless – you can see the joy in his smile! I will say a prayer for your family.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. Your children are adorable and growing so fast. Enjoy every moment.
So sorry for your loss! 💛
So sorry to hear about your grandfather. It sounds like he lived a full life full of love.
Condolences on the loss of your grandfather. What an amazing legacy of family and fun memories he’s left behind with all of you. The photos you captured are amazing and will be so wonderful to reflect back on as the kids grow.
*I’m super blessed to still have a set of grandparents and I’m 50 (my mom’s parents) . I am now hoping that we get to have High School Graduation photos in 2 months with my daughter and her great-grandparents. which is not something any of us thought would realistically happen(my grandparents always said they just wanted to see the great grandkids out of grade school.. and here we are.. HS) we take photos at every family function of the kids with their ‘ggs’ so these photos you shared really just hit home for me-
Big hugs to you and your entire family
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I’m glad you got to enjoy him for so long. That doesn’t make his passing any easier. My thoughts are with you and your family. May his memory be a blessing. Be gentle with yourselves.
I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather. You were very lucky to have all that time with him. Sending my condolences. My grandmother (who was 95) passed away last August (she was my last living grandparent as well), and I always thought I was so lucky to have had a grandparent alive as old as I am (44 this month!)
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your grandfather seems like he was a wonderful man (Jordan looks like him!)
