I have always had an appreciation for members of the military, but it has greatly increased since I moved to Ohio. Pretty much all of our close friends are in the Air Force. I have seen first hand the sacrifices that these men and their families make to protect our freedom. I am so grateful for their service!
I saw a rant on facebook about the purpose of Memorial Day vs. Veteran's day. They were saying that Memorial Day is supposed to be for people that lost their life during battle and not for just all military men and women. While I understand that, I think it is the perfect time to thank everyone for their sacrifices. I call my Papaw every Memorial Day and Veteran's Day to thank him. This was the first holiday that I haven't been able to do that so my day felt a little incomplete. I found this picture after his funeral and it may be my favorite picture of him!
Since
we are in such a military based location, holidays here are done
right! Our church put on a picnic in the park for everyone.
Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and it was moved inside. Part of me is glad because it was easier to keep Adelyn
contained! We ate a delicious brunch and they had some games set up. I
mostly just chatted with my friends though!
I love holidays and having an excuse to dress for the occasion. I especially love red, white and blue outfits! It is even more fun now that there are more of us to dress! Travis is a good sport and plays along most of the time!
I tried to get a good photo of Adelyn, but this is what I got! She is such a little goofball! These pictures are totally her! I am pretty sure she was dancing and copying Travis' moves!
Lila is starting to smile on cue and it makes me so happy! Her smiles make me forget about all her fussy times!
Navy blue is one of my favorite color on my babies! Maybe it's because it matches their eyes.
