Bill's book is officially in our hands. It was pretty exciting to get the copies in the mail and see all of the hard work that we did in print. Kind of weird, but really cool.

Grandma lived upstairs at our house with us, which was a full apartment. We were very close to her, especially my brother. She cared for us when our parents were working (we never had a babysitter), dropped us off at and picked us up from school (we never rode a school bus), and took us on adventures during the summer. She loved reading and gardening and birds. She was a very active grandma and we were lucky to have her. I have lots of...
