A few months ago, Grandpa had surgery which was supposed to be pretty routine, but he contracted a blood infection, which was recently discovered. After difficulty recovering from this, he was placed in the hospital. We have not been able to see Grandpa since Homecoming at Olivet, in November, when Bianca was just 10 days old; so we wanted to take the girls to see him once again. We made an impromptu trip to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma this weekend. Impromptu, as in we decided on Wednesday to go at about 4 pm, and left by 9 pm. It was a little hectic, but I'm so glad that we were able to see him once more. We were also able to see many extended family, as they were returning home from a family reunion the previous weekend that we were unable to attend.

This picture says it all! We returned at 12:45 am on Sunday morning. We were all exhausted after making the drive in 13 hours!
We were able to get pictures with Grandpa and able to talk to him, and see that he enjoyed seeing the girls. He is not doing well, and we may be soon celebrating his joining his Heavenly Father soon. I would like to be selfish and hope that he would wait a while so that my girls can be old enough to remember and appreciate what a wonderful Great Grandfather they have, but I also know that Grandpa is most likely so eager to enjoy the treasures he has stored up in heaven throughout his life, and to praise his King continually!
