My Grandma Ruth Hanson

My Grandma Ruth passed away on the morning of Monday, September 10th from kidney failure. She was in a lot of pain in the end. She had fallen four weeks ago and hit her head and arm, she didn't break anything, but was uncomfortable. Her major organs were starting to shut down; and on Sunday (9th) she was given 24 hours to live. She was 91 years old. God blessed her with a good long life! I thank God that she loved the Lord and was a strong Christian woman! She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her!
This was the last time I saw her in Feb of 2006. I remember that day she gave Allison a $10.00 bill telling her to get herself a new pair of jeans because the ones she was wearing had holes in the knees. She was always thinking of other people.
My grandma's funeral is tomorrow. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go, but I will be thinking of everyone in California celebrating the life of Ruth Hanson tomorrow!

For Your Viewing Pleasure

Anna got her first tooth (bottom left). Two others are popping through, so needless to say, she's a little grumpy.
Gabe having fun on his swing.

Matt hangin around.

Cool man Gabe helping Seth go.

Seth spent the day with us last Thursday and we had a fun time!

Anna knawing on the bars of the crib.

Gabe and Matt enjoying the newly added rope ladder.

*Trying* to get a good picture with grandpa.

This is the best we got. At least they're all looking in the same direction!

Sophie and Grandpa Liebi

Matt holding Anna
Sophia ... when laying on her belly she sticks her arms and legs up in the air and 'hmmmm's. It's quite entertaining.

Anna on the left and Sophia.

I was going for something more 'artsy', oh well -- they look cute at least. :)

Some newer pics

Anna and Matt hanging out
Anna really likes chillin on the boppy, as long as there's a toy in front of her.

Sophia sleeping. I love when they sleep - so peaceful!

In the middle of cutting Matt's hair last month my clippers ran out of 'juice' (they are cordless) so he ended up with half a haircut. I thought the faux-hawk looked cute on him.

Ben was rocking the girls to sleep and in turn rocked himself to sleep at the same time.

Gabe's got a major chip on his shoulder.
