Memorial Day Weekend 2013

Antie and Uncie came up for a visit so most of our weekend was spent with them, Nana, Papa, Uncle Todd, Aunt Shelly, Jordan and Dylan.  The kids were great, the food was great and the company was even better.  Time flew, but it was a wonderful weekend.

Uncie came on a stroll with me, Ely and the girls.  I guess we forgot to tell Daddy and Antie that we were leaving because they were surprised to find us gone.  Whoops!

On Monday we also paid our respects at Great Grandpa Irving and Great Grandma Rose's graves.  We placed our rocks on the headstone and were silent for a moment.  Then we found Irving's parents graves.  

Since we are preparing to sell our house, we spent most of the day going through the girl's rooms.  They hung in there for hours deciding what to keep and what to discard.  (There was a lot of stuff to go through!)  We did jumping jacks to keep our energy up and completed the task.  The girls and I find the lack of art work on the walls disturbing, but Daddy likes the "clean look".  Slowly, we are making this home into a house to sell and I find myself getting more nostalgic than I care to admit.  As with anything, this too shall pass and it's all part of the process.
