Grandma Leithead passed away on June 17th-She was John's Grandmother and although I only saw her a few times, I was impressed by her quiet and gentle nature. I've heard a lot of wonderful things about her from John and her family and I know she is missed dearly.
John and Tate were able to fly down for the funeral and were gone for 5 days-I think Grandma would be pleased her funeral was more like a family reunion. John said it had been more than 15 years since his family had ALL been together, and probably even longer since he'd seen many of his cousins. It turned into a wonderful experience and memory for him.

John had such a great time! Up til wee hours of the night, every night talking with siblings and cousins. There was even a report of a search for a Winn Dixie and Blue Bell Ice Cream...Barefoot.
Only in Texas!
Saturday night everyone who was left went out to dinner in downtown Ft. Worth.
John said Tate was a great flyer, at least on the way down. There were a lot of people there-so he was a bit clingy, but overall he did pretty good. I think his only complaint would involve a 9 month old little girl who schooled him pretty good over his binki. She not only took it from him, but waved it infront of him and then put it in his mouth. The boy simply bawled, looked for help and was beside himself. Good boy for not hitting a girl, but he needs to learn to defend himself. Sadly his father not only sat by laughing, but took video. I tried to upload it, but so far I've been unsuccessful, too long...you know a full minute. In all reality the boy loves his Binki too much, a love that him and Tyler share alike. Too much love! Apparently they aren't alone!
