We spent some time on Memorial day at the cemetery putting flowers on graves and telling stories about Grandpa and Grandma Ludlow and Grandma Fish.  We were also able to visit uncle Sony and Aunt Maxine's graves and some other extended family.

 It makes me very sad that my girls never got a chance to meet their great grandmas and great grandpa.  However, I am very sure that my Grandma Ludlow was taking care of both of the girls until they came here to be with us.  I have had that impression often in my life and look forward to the day when I can have Grandma's arms around me-I just hope she still has that sweet smell of face powder and aqua net.

 It was nice to be able to see Kevin again and get to spend a little quiet family time together.

This girl is a crawling machine!  It's like a light bulb clicked on for her this week and she has started crawling in a traditional style and she can get anywhere she wants.  The last of the child safety items has been installed and we feel safer knowing that she can get where she wants without hurting herself.  She is like a little puppy dog who shadows me wherever I go.  I will leave her in her room playing and go to my room to grab something and before I know it I hear her little squeals as she follows after me.  She really loves being able to get everywhere fast and it has made her a lot more fun to be around!

 Croquet anyone?  Maddie is contemplating her victories.

 Cute girl who is in to everything.
