Happy 80th Birthday Grandpa/Great Grandpa Corky!

Mitch's Grandpa Corky turned 80 this year. The family threw a suprise party for him two weeks after Leah was born. At first, Mitch was just going to head over for the day with Clare but I was feeling well enough to go along. We took our first trip over the pass with both girls who did really well. We only had to stop once to feed Leah. Mitch's grandfather has been such an inspiration to him and has truly helped shaped him into the great husband/father he has become. This is who Clare is named after. Mitch wrote a speech about his Grandfather's life and it was so heartfelt.
