Normally on this blog I keep things up-beat...but this past Sunday a very dear friend of ours passed away...Leo was diagnosed with cancer just after we got home from Hawaii with the boys...he fought long and hard for the past 2 years and our boys loved him immensely....Ledo as they lovingly referred to him was their closest "Grandpa" he played with them, teased them, taught them, and un-conditionally loved them. I know that even though we may not officially be family he has played a huge part in the life of OUR little family and will be and already is tremendously missed...Love you Ledo!
