Bitter Sweet

Sunday was a happy day and sad day for my family. Happy because we celebrated Kate's christening. She was absolutely precious and is such a blessing to our family! Sad because my granddaddy, G.W. Compton, passed away. At 85, he left behind his wife, 7 children, 16 grandchildren and 22 great grand children- what a legacy! He was a sweet man & will be greatly missed, but he is in a much better place now. I am including some pictures of Daniel with him on his 1st birthday & a couple of Christmas's ago when Granddaddy made a surprise appearance as Santa. Laura Ann suffers terribly from second child syndrome- I don't have any of her w/ him (maybe Gran does??). The sad part is that she sat in his lap for a few minutes last week when we were there, but I was busy taking pictures of Daniel climbing a tree! I didn't even realize that I didn't have one of her w/ Granddaddy. Sorry Laura Ann! You have lots of pictures with Grandmama!
