Over the weekend, we spent a lot of time with Eric’s family. We all gathered together to say our goodbyes to Grandpa Keith. We will always remember him greeting us at the door with that smile of his and that sparkle in his eyes. He is one of the happiest men I know. We were told by one of Eric’s aunts that before he passed; he made sure that everyone knew he had “13″ grandchildren. Twelve grandchildren and ONE great-grandchild. That would be our little miss. Hailey Elyse. He was pretty fond of this little one. Can’t say I blame him.

Here is Hailey with her Aunt Kelly in the common area of grandma’s home, practicing her piano skills:

She sure does look pretty in yellow!

She spent some time with her godfather, Michael and her Grandma Barb:

She also charmed her Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois cousins.
