Saying goodbye to Bobby's dad in Santa Fe.

I miss Pop Pop Bob
"I miss Pop Pop Bob." (Bobby's dad, Bob)
I've heard that a lot this morning always followed by tears.
Today would have been his 62nd birthday.
I'm not good at this. I don't have the right words to comfort.
So we are focusing on all our good memories of him today.
Bob was a photographer so he took most of the pictures, I don't have enough of him with the kids at all.
Trin's favorite memory: "He was a really loving grandpa, I always enjoyed going to breakfast when he was in town, and I like the clothes he and Anita gave me."
Kenz's favorite memory: "Last Christmas it started snowing and I got to help Pop Pop Bob get presents out of the car and I liked that. And I liked seeing him when he came to Kyle, and we went out to eat with him, Anita, and Allie the dog. He always remembered our birthdays."
Dom's favorite memory: "When we went to eat at the restaurant with the car wheels on the ceiling (Chuy's) and we played catch with my angry bird."
Jo's favorite memory: "We always went to eat with him and saw his pictures. And we played with the train at Grandpa Sam's house at Christmastime."
Rose's favorite memory: "Playing with the train and making it go backwards, the presents he gave, and playing with him."
Here are some old family photos of Bobby's dad.

Bob's smile was always contagious and his eyes sparkled. He always greeted us with, "Well, hi!", and he gave us great hugs! Bob was really a brilliant man. His knowledge surpassed most people's understanding. I did not have that in common with him, what I did have in common with him was photography. Some of the last few times I saw him we went through his photographs and he taught me about High Dynamic Range images and how to put them together. He taught me some other tricks and I was looking forward to going on a photography tour through New Mexico with him this year.
I picked out some of my favorite photos he took and added his name on them to honor him today.

Update
Sorry for the weird formatting issues. I'll work on that soon.
I have not written an update in a very long time. A lot has happened so far this year
but I just haven't had the words or inspiration to sit and write.
This year started with Bobby and our friend, Tim,
beginning a prayer class at Fellowship Church Southwest in Austin.
The class has been going well! You can listen to recordings of the class here.
Bobby had to take a few weeks off in the middle of the class to handle family situations.
His father unexpectedly passed away this February in New Mexico.
We are all very saddened by this loss. Bobby's dad was a brilliant man!
You can read his obituary here. We had a trip planned to visit him this summer.
We are still going to follow through on that, it will be sad to not see him though.
Homeschooling has been tough. Maybe I'm dealing with burnout.
I know this will be worth the sacrifice in the long run but I have a hard time
keeping myself encouraged. I'm very grateful the older girls are going
to OneDay Academy though!
I'm not going to go on the India mission trip I wrote about in December.
Right now is not a good time to leave Bobby alone with the kids for 10 days.
I did get my passport and some other little things paid by donations
from photoshoots. I'll have to post pictures of all the shoots I did. I had a lot of
fun with it just got really overloaded with editing. I can be indecisive when
picking my favorite photos.
Speaking of photos our family just got some professional pictures taken. I'm
usually the one taking pictures so it was weird to be on the other side of the camera.
I can't wait to see them!
