Remembering Grandpa Nick

One year ago, we lost Chris' father. Nick died unexpectedly in his sleep on Good Friday last year. We decided to do a few things on the one year anniversary to celebrate him.


If you knew Nick, you knew he LOVED to feed the squirrels around his house. His squirrels weren't just fat, they were obese! Definitely the fattest squirrels in Indy! So we decided that we would set something up to feed our squirrels.

Home Depot didn't carry regular feed corn on the cob, so we found this instead.



Chris & Hannah installed in along the fence in the back yard.



We haven't caught any nibblers in action, but there have been visitors.

Chris recalled his father LOVED chicken & dumplings. It wasn't something they ate when Chris was a child, but he remembered it as being one of his Dad's favorite meals. So in honor of his dad, we made homemade chicken & dumplings for dinner. It was a first for us. We made it with vegetable broth and before we put the chicken in it, we separated some for vegetarian Hannah.


Then for dessert, we ate ice cream. Nick loved eating a bowl of ice cream after dinner. Who doesn't?


Here's a picture that was taken during our last visit with him in December 2012.


It's hard to believe that it has been a year already. We miss you, Nick!
