Working?

Toni has been so helpful as we've worked at Buddy's. She has stayed home and been babysitter/mother to her 2 little sisters much more than she should be asked to. This weekend, Toni and the girls decided to come help at Buddy's house. Toni was a huge help out there, and the girls? They may not remember too much about Buddy when they get older, but I think they'll remember some of the times they've had at his house...
My mother passed away when Toni was very young, too young to remember anything about her granny. All through Toni's life, we have talked about granny. As an adult, Toni doesn't share the memories that the older grandchildren enjoy, but she feels as if she knew her granny. I suspect the same will be true of these little girls with their Buddy.

As I was taking photos of the girls in the wardrobe, Natalie began making faces. I told Halli to make a face at me too. My delicate girl said "I can't." Then she tried. I think my foofy girl can do a pretty good silly face -- and there was never any doubt that Natalie could... :)
We've been wading through lots of memories over the past few weeks. Halli enjoyed trying on my wedding dress. Memories. Lots of memories.
