Indy Visit.


This is your great grandmother Joretta.  She was the ultimate best growing up.  My grandmother loved her three grandkids.  She went to my games, came on family trips, always had your aunties and mom spend the night, and showed us the way to be an independent woman.  She played hide and go seek, made up fun games for us to play, and made the world's best peanut butter and honey sandwiches.  Sadly, Joretta became sick with alzheimers.  For years she lives with us and gave me memories to last a lifetime. Some very funny and others not so much.  Now she lives in a sorority type home for woman suffering from the disease.  She does not know who we are which breaks my heart but sometimes I can tell she feels safe when we are around.  At one point when she met you she cried and asked if you were really hers.  Mackenzie and I cried.  It was very sweet. Maybe she understood for that moment in time.

Here you are with your cousin Tyler at Aunt Alicia's house.  He is the sweetest boy! He kept looking at you to see if you were real. You are so lucky to have him.  He is an extraordinary young boy!

Mamaw and Papaw love you so much.  Mamaw holds you tight and lays back in her chair while you fall asleep. We are going to visit them in January! It will be so much fun!


We went to eat with your Nana and Pop. Pop took off two days to be with you. Below Nana holds you while you fall asleep.  She knows just how to calm you down when you are upset. 


We went to Indy for a week! It was so much fun. We had friends over for some food and drinks one night. We went to visit Mamaw and Papaw.  We stayed at your Nana and Pop's house one night.  It was a great time. I can't wait to move back!
