Despite losingtheir first Grammy nomination to Little Big Town, the country crooner admitted,“God has blessed us with the gift of something even bigger than a Grammy awardthis year… perspective.”
“The morning afterthe award show, Joey looked into my eyes and said, “I’m sorry we didn’t win usa Grammy.” I smiled and said, “that’s okay”. Then jokingly, I added,“…there’s always next year,” Rory wrote on Friday. “[Joey] smiled back atme and said, “yes… next year.” And then she talked about how if we wereto ever be nominated again, that I have to promise her that I would go. And I told her that I would. Then her smile widened and shewinked and said, “and guess what… I’ll know the winner before you do.”

The singer admitted on his blog that Joey was “too excited” to sleep for their daughter’s birthday on Wednesday. Living to celebrate Indiana's special day was another wish the cancer-stricken mother was able to fulfill.
“When Joey woke up, a little before noon, I came in to see her…and tears were flowing down her face,” he wrote. “I put my arms around her andasked, “why are you crying honey?”…“We made it…”, she softly answered. “We made it.”
Rory added, “Indiana’s big day wasnothing but joy and more joy.”
Since turning 2-years-old, Indiana is already proving what a big girl she is and speaking without her hands. Rory shared a video of his daughter saying "mama" and "dada," while in her carseat doing her errands with him. The proud father captioned the video, "..."look papa, no hands"!!! I took Indy to the grocery store this afternoon and by the time we got home she was saying sounds back to me without using sign language."
