A Memorial Day to Remember

We had a fabulous memorial day. It was beautiful weather and we spent alot of time outside. Here are a few pictures of the highlight of the day: Grandma and Grandpa Hansen enjoying the backyard. Grandpa especially was so alert. He would clap for Macy when she went down the slide. He even tried to convince Charlie to let him sit on the swing :) Later that night we had a fun BBQ and roasted marshmallows and played fun yard games. It was really the perfect day.
Today has been a bit different than yesterday:very emotional and full of unexpected events.Grandpa Hansen passed away peacefully this morning. I have never been in the room before at the moment someone passes away. I felt very peaceful, yet sad to see someone so special move on to the next step in life. I am greatful for the plan of salvation that promises families can be together forever.
The next adventure of the day was being admitted into the hospital. I had been feeling some cramping and some contractions they were lasting longer than I thought normal so after talking to my doctor he suggested I go into the hospital to check on things. I am glad to report that the baby is fine and so am I. Just some false labor. You would think after having a baby I would know the difference. The doctor said to get lots of rest and fluids for the next 7 weeks and to try to stay off my feet (Ha, like that can happen with Macy)Well I can try at least.

  1. Thank you Chelsea, for sharing the beautiful photos from your afternoon outside especially with Grandpa being present and happy. I wish we had been there, but am so glad that you, Charlie, & Macy have been such a huge part of everyday in Springville. We'll try our best to make you stay off your feet...:)
