Yesterday, Grandma Olive Stanley passed away. James and I visited her only a few hours before she passed away. It is so weird to think that she is gone. I think right now we are kind of in denial and thinking and planning on when we will visit her again. The viewing will be Thursday night and the funeral will be Friday. Grandma was mentally clear almost the whole time until the last few weeks and even then she was not bad. Even during our last visit yesterday, she was very clear and then there was just a few minutes that she was in confusion. I think a lot of her confusion was from lack of hearing. Her body was just giving out on her. She really struggled breathing. Her upper body was so frail and tiny. Her legs were so heavy and hurt because of the edema and water weight in her legs. I knew that she just needed to make the decision that she was ready to go home to Heaven.
Monday and Tuesday Jacob had tryouts at HHS for soccer. The original results were that he was cut. Then on Thursday, the coach called Jacob down to the gym during last class of the day. He was freaking out wondering what he was in trouble for. Then the coach told him that he had to cut a kid from the team that had lied about his grades which were really bad. He said that he now was on the team and his grades were great so he needs to show up to practice after school and first game is on Monday. He said he was running back down the hall to class screaming inside his head with so much excitement he couldn't believe it. He went to practice and that night got his spirit pack. He is so excited about the uniform and everything. His first Team dinner is Tuesday night. I am helping Brittany Jones & Paula Kirkham (paytons & Shad's moms) with the dinner at the Jones house. Both of those boys are from his USA team.
Shanna and Charlotte came over to our house to visit on Tuesday and we did their laundry and sorted through most of their storage room! We had a great visit. She borrowed one of your blankets because all of hers were in the laundry and we were working downstairs so it was really cold.
Jacob was off school that day as well. He enjoyed hanging out with Charlotte.
James had his first court of honor since he turned 11 and received the rank of scout. That just means that he is a Scout now.
James and I were able to go to Olivia and Cason's baptism yesterday.
