A visit to Great Grandpa Conley- in the hospital

My husband’s dear grandfather recently contracted a particularly pesky brand of pneumonia.  I have been there done that and know what a real downer it can be. We decided to take a little road trip to Hastings to see him and hopefully put a smile on his face. Caelun certainly put a smile on his Grandma Mary’s face if not Great Grandpa Conley. Grandpa really looked pretty good and I wanted the family who haven’t been  able to see him face to face to know he seemed to be at least somewhat on the mend. He is a wonderful man-Truly part of the greatest generation. A WWII vet with 4 children, close to a dozen grandchildren, and upteen great grandchildren- the list is always growing. Clint’s step-sister Mandy is expecting this December. Here are a few pics. from the day.summer 09 180

Clint’s dad and step-mom- Mary were there also.

Mary gave Caelun lots of snuggles and tickles.
