just grab it

I was adding Jazmin's blog button to my link page

and I was wishing I had a button for my sister in law's blog.





I love Cyndi's blog! She posts pictures of my adorable nieces and it keeps me updated with all the things they are doing. I even stole borrowed the name of my blog from her.
But you know, I am not even sure if she wants a button.

.... but I want one for my link page.

Alright.

So I made one.

But then I realized that I needed one for Paige's blog -- and DJ's blog too.

They look super cute on my link page!

grandma's playground

My mother in law Robyn died in 2006 from appendiceal cancer I miss her all the time. I still have a difficult time talking to people about her without getting emotional.

I was going to write a post about her on her birthday that just passed, and I couldn't. Even thinking about what I wanted to say made me tear up.
Someday.

But, I do want to explain Grandma's Playground.

We take the kids to the cemetery at least twice a year. They like to go. They ask to go. The plot is a big open area -- the family cross is even the picture on the Holy Cross website.

So the kids run around. And dance. And play.






And we laugh
about how much Robyn would have gotten a kick out of the kids running and dancing on her grave.


And we wish that she was still here, with us.
