OUR NEAR GRANDGIRL.....

was at our house this weekend. Tylie will be four in August. We also went to a graduation party for one of my nephews. Naturally, we took her with us. We talked all day Saturday about going to Trevor's party. And we practiced his name and the fact that he was her cousin. (First cousin once removed, but still a cousin.) She was curious about him once we got to the party and he was pointed out to her. She asked where he was approximately 37 times. At one point, I asked her if she wanted to go talk to him. She, of course, said yes. We went to find him and she told him some long-winded story about her mother. We also went and took a look at his cake.

Afterward, as we were leaving the party, Ty became upset because we hadn't seen Trevor blow the candles out on his cake. I'm not sure she ever understood the difference between a birthday and a graduation.

I'M A TERRIBLE.....

Nana. In just four weeks, I'll be traveling to Washington state to go to a dance recital. It's been nearly a year since the last one and I didn't post Kristin's picture from last year. *Nana hangs her head in shame* THIS year, we'll be having TWO dancers. I promise to do better. In the meantime, here's a "sort of" preview. (I absolutely ADORE those flowers!!)
