Evan got to meet his Great Grandmother (Nanny) today! We celebrated her 82nd birthday!
Unfortunately Nanny has really had some health problems this year and is in a rehabilitation/therapy facility right now... but she is still sharp as a tack and loved meeting Evan. She's battled cancer again this year and is finally done with chemo and radiation. But during the course of treatment she got a bad infection and had to be hospitalized and then ended up suffering a couple of strokes while she was in the hospital. The main thing that it's all affected is her ability to see. She's lost so much of her sight, so that makes it really hard for her to get around. I actually wasn't able to spend hardly any time with her when I was pregnant because of the infection and radiation (they wouldn't allow it) - so it was great to see her and have her hold Evan for the first time. We love our Nanny and pray that her health will continue to improve every day.

And Evan also got to meet his Great Aunt Linda, Great Uncle Lee and some of his cousins too. We are looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving with my family next week! We'll eat and hang out all day and then all the ladies will spend the night and wake at 4:00am for shopping all day on Friday - we call it the "Boo Ya Sisterhood Shopping Club" and we've been doing it for as long as I can remember!
