Mawmaw Memories

When LeAnn was about 7 years old and Jim about 5 years old, my mother (Mawmaw) embroidered chambray shirts for both of them--embroidered chambray shirts were very unisex in the early 70s. I was going through stuff the other day and found the shirts. I gave LeAnn's shirt to Jordan and she was absolutely thrilled to death. Anna will get Jim's shirt when I have a chance. Then Jordan will pass hers down to Anna and Anna's will go to Ada. If you knew my mother, you know how much she would have adored these three little girls so it warms my heart to see Jordan loving the shirt.

I included a self-picture of Jordan and me--she had to show me how to hold the camera to take our own picture!! Then two more pictures: (1) Blue (my little grey miniature poodle who is absolutely spoiled rotten) and me (2) Jordan and Blue.

Summer 2009 is Ending

How exciting this summer has been!! Jim and family moved to San Angelo, July 4th with EVERYONE here, Anna spent a few days, Jordan here to swim 2-3 times a week, Ada spent a few days--everyone went home this afternoon and the house is so quiet and neat!! I'm sad to say that I have taken very few pictures this summer--just didn't seem to have time. But here are a few from yesterday when all three girls were here to swim. One day when we got home from swimming, Jordan was cold so I made her a cup of hot chocolate (actually warm chocolate) so when we get home from swimming, it's hot chocolate time as you can see in the pictures. I had to include a picture of Ada in her swimming goggles--notice that her hair isn't even wet. But she HAS to have the goggles on!! Jordan seldom gets out of the water so the picture of her is with Ryan. Her face is covered up with goggles, but she spend more time under the water than she does on top!! It's been a wonderful summer, but I guess that all good things have to come to an end. School will start in a couple of weeks- - -
