7th Birthday

My baby turned 7 last week. In lieu of having a birthday party with all of her friends, she asked to go to the farm...Greer Farm that is. So we packed up 3 kids (her "sister-cousin" Catie came along at the last minute!) and made the 3 hour trip.
Here is the trip in pictures (not bad pics taken with a little point and shoot).

 Happy 7th my dear girl. Love you so much.

We Remember

This morning, my handsome and wonderful father in law went to heaven. We were all there. It was so hard.
Tonight.....we told our children. His grand kids. They adored him beyond belief.

After many tears, we spoke. At the moment my beautiful daughter is with me, while my lovely son is with his daddy supporting him.

This is what Jordan...my gorgeous and wise 6 years old wanted to share (her words).

Tonight..Jordan Remembers

Poppy playing how the cow eats the corn…it makes her happy

Poppy flipping her in the pool….it makes her excited

Poppy playing hide and go seek…it makes her giggle

Poppy being a little sick and watching her swim…it makes her feel important

Poppy feeding her tractor tires….it makes her tummy feel good

Poppy steaks…it makes her remember the good stuff.

Poppy’s soft hand……it makes her miss him.

Kissing Poppy’s cheek….it makes her feel loved.
