Helping Mommy with Tweety

This pumpkin was from our last outing with Great Grandma Julia

Greetings Niko Fans,

Mommy is very sorry that she did not let me use the computer for a couple weeks. Our little family has been very busy. We are hoping for a quiet May, but we don't think so :)

We have very sad news. Great Grandma Julia passed away last Sunday. I was able to see her one more time last Saturday. She looked right at me, and we said our goodbyes then. Mommy and Daddy said their goodbyes on Sunday. I was really glad I got to meet great grandma Julia. She held me when I was only a couple days old, and was able to attend my Baptism last July. Great Grandma Julia was always excited to see me. Mommy and Daddy promise to tell me stories of Grandma Julia when I get older and I can understand better. I know that she will be deeply missed.

Grammy Joy had surgery on the same day as Great Grandma Julia's funeral. She is doing okay, and Mommy and I may go visit sometime next week. We send her lots of love. We also send Baba Christine lots of love too, and hopefully our visit on Saturday helped her heart a little. I did get to meet my cousins for the first time. They are wonderful cousins. Tanner chased after me for a while, and Tyler let me play with his cars and I "tackled" him a few times.

Today I came down with a fever and feeling icky. Mommy has a long week ahead of her. She may have to take a few days off from work - Baba Christine will help out too, if I do not feel better.

I promise to update sometime this week, if I am feeling better. Have a wonderful sunny Sunday :) Love, Niko
