Grandma Mary Tigges...

Grandma passed away this morning after finding out approximately one month ago that she had cancer. Grandma was an amazing woman, grandma's heritage is from Germany, which she was very proud of, German was her first language and she only spoke German when entering Kindergarten. She married Robert Tigges, and had 3 children, Kathy (Garry's mom), Gale, and Kenny. Grandma and Grandpa lived and worked on the farm that she still owns today. Grandma often spoke of Grandpa in a loving way and told us many times how Garry reminded her of Grandpa. Grandma was an avid seamstress, spoke her mind, saved everything and had a solid foundation in God. She will be missed by many and was loved by all. We love you Grandma.

Griffin and family...

Happy Fourth of July!!! We are spending the evening at Grandma and Grandpa's for food, fun, family and fireworks..

TIRED....

Tired is the theme in our house these days... Of course, a newborn brings a lack of sleep but to add to our lack of sleep we have a preschooler that is no longer wearing diapers which means that at 5:30 in the morning we will be awoken by Jack requesting potty breaks. Of course, one may think that Jack would go right back to sleep but he does not. Then there is Garry who is a night owl by nature and has been working hard either on the basement (refinishing) at night or one of his many projects for work. I keep reminding myself that one day we will return to a home where mommy gets a full nights rest...
