Memorial Day 2012



Today was Memorial Day, a day of special recognition of men and women serving our military and their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families.

Bodhi, you began your morning early as usual joining Daddy watching the news, but Buddha today you weren’t far behind. So the three of us had some fruit for breakfast, and Daddy made coffee for him and Mommy. When Mommy awakened she got her and Daddy some coffee and made all of us (anotherJ) breakfast of toast and cerealJ.

After breakfast (againJ) we got dressed and the three of us headed out in the carriage, destination Grandmoo’s houseJ. Bodhi, you had called GiGi before we left the house, and while we were on our carriage walk, Mommy called and said GiGi was going to stop by and visit the two of you while we were at Grandmoo’s. When we arrived at Grandmoo’s, you made a bee line for your bunny slippers Bodhi, and both of you headed for Grandmoo’s kitchenJ. She made the two of you strawberries and sugar, and you both just glowed with happiness! A short while after we arrived, GiGi stopped by and the two of you were clearly ecstatic to be with both Grandmoo and GiGi!

The two of you played with GiGi and Grandmoo for over an hour, then we reluctantly headed home to get you both back in time for lunch and your nap time. The heat was absolutely oppressive, but the two of you seemed to be ok in your carriage with the cover down over each of your heads. On the walk back Daddy explained why we recognize Memorial Day, and why we should honor our military personnel every day. Daddy also explained we should especially honor Grandpa Harold, who was a professional soldier and whose aircraft was shot down during his service in Viet Nam. Daddy explained why Grandpa Harold was a hero, and Bodhi you agreed and repeated the word “hero.” You are both so incredibly precious.

Mommy had lunch waiting on us, and she put together the bubble makers Grandma Betty had bought you two.  After lunch Mommy took you both outside to make bubbles and play with Dora Kitty and Baby Ella J

After nap time, the two of you played for a short while in your swimming pool before dinner and “night, night.” Grandmoo called us and reported that some people came back to again look at the house on Leeds street, so we are all sleeping tonight with our fingers crossedJ.  Turns out the couple interested in it, Mommy grew up with on Windsor Street.  Torrey Roe’s brother, Chad, and his wife are interested in the house, and they brought Debbie Roe, Chad’s mother back to take a look at it!

Love you, precious Princess and Prince of Indiana, and love you MommyJ!

Mommy and Daddy were slow moving today, so we didn't catch all of the day's beautiful moments on camera :(

Buddha, your car bubble maker wouldn't work, luckily Mommy had this airplane bubble maker put back for you :)

Bodhi, you loved your princess bubble maker :)  You were chasing Baby Ella in this picture though :)
