A rough week
My grandmother holding my sister and I in 1972. I love the smirk on my sister's face. As you know from my post last week, I attended my grand mother's memorial service in Boswell, Pennsylvania a couple days ago. It was a rough visit and one of the few...

Peanut butter and jelly
The girls are really growing . I now call Emma "peanut" because she is smaller and Ella has been adorned the name "jelly" as in jelly rolls (I'm sure I'll regret this reference when they are 17 and are looking to rebel against Daddy). Anyway together...

Cute pic of the day
Seeing Emma's tiny hand under her face today was just too cute. I had to get a pic and share. You'll notice the "Posey" on her right wrist. That's what I was referring to in yesterday's post.
