Memories of Yesterday

Addy was out of school yesterday for Martin Luther King Jr Day and again to day for some sort of teacher prep day. I decided that with the extra time on my hands that we would head south. So the girls and I packed up and went over the river and through the woods to Grandmothers house. Actually, for those of you who know me at all, we call her Marmie.

It is so fun to share my childhood memories with my girls. It's fun to see them get excited about the same treasures I did and to watch them sit with Marmie on the piano bench. Just like when I was young, they play songs that never end and consist of many loud keys at once. Marmie always says "What a beautiful song! You're such a great pianist!"

Papa was sitting in his office last night and Olivia went in with him to color. Addy, Marmie and I were in the living room watching TV. After a while I went in to check on Olivia and found her as content as can be to be playing with Papa. I'm so happy my kids have so many amazing people in their family, and I'm especially glad they have the chance to know 6 of their 8 great grandparents.
