Meeting Amelia Grace Merritt


Although we were in Columbia for Papa's funeral, there were many reasons to celebrate. Along with remembering stories about Papa and celebrating his life, we were glad to be able to meet the newest Merritt - Amelia Grace.

*******************************
I overheard Olivia telling McIver: Well, McIver, I have some good news and some bad news.
McIver: What's the bad news?
Olivia: The bad news is that Papa died and has gone to Heaven. I guess that's good news b/c he won't have any more wrinkles. But that's not the really good news.
McIver: What's the good news?
Olivia: (shouting) We get to meet Baby Amelia and we can both hold her!!!!
And hold her, they did!


Kelli heard McIver say: Oh, she's crying, she needs me.
