This picture was taken last summer. My grandma passed away almost two weeks ago, 8 days shy of her 96th birthday. I'm so glad that my kids got to meet their great grandmother and enjoy her smile. They'll never know her the way I know her. I loved my summer visits in Kentucky. I loved them even more once there was an indoor toilet and shower. :)
Julia went with me and Sean to the funeral. I adored watching her pick wildflowers during the graveside service. I'm pretty sure my grandma would have adored it too.
My aunt lives on the property where my grandparents' house still stands (unoccupied and in need of serious work). My daughter was sad that the kittens I played with when I was young were no longer there (I tried to explain it. Several different ways. Didn't work.).

chalk kids
The kids are now 8 and 10. I love that they're still great friends. They play together a lot (and fight a lot too). I'm glad that JW was wearing a dress so that you can tell which chalk outline is the girl one (in case the hands on the hips didn't give it away). :) When I mentioned to JT that he looked like a penguin, he said that he stuck out his hands because he wanted them to show. They are both so stinkin' adorable. Wrapped around their fingers I am. And happy to be so.
