Random thoughts

Friday night we kept Mr. Kemp while Nat and Brad went to the Faith Hill/Tim McGraw concert and also kept MISS LILY while Kadie and Michael went to the Alabama baseball game. We took them riding around the neighborhood when the sun went down and let them ride their little riding cars. So cute! Everyone stopped and waved and thought they were twins! They played so hard!! They love to watch the WIGGLES so we watched the Wiggles and danced like crazy people! They laugh and laugh when GranJan dances and sings! HAHAHA!  Then it was bathtime and we bathed them and put their little jammies on. They play so good together  UNTIL they get sleepy! Then they fight over toys and books and who sits in my lap! Both wanted GranJan to hold them and would fuss when I would hold one over the other! Finally Kemp started  really fussing and  rubbing his little eyes so I put him to bed. He cried for only a second  but then he grabbed his "PASS"(passys---all 4 of them!)and then he was gone fast asleep! Lily climbed in my lap and we cuddled under the blanket  with HER passy and soon Big T, Granjan and Lily were all snoozing! Michael and Kadie picked up their little sleepy head around 11:00. SWEET BABIES!...Today we went to Riverchase UMC and then, after an Emmaus meeting, went to Trussville to Alex DeLoach's Graduation party! YES, Ginger's son graduated from high school! What a precious and sweet boy he is! I'm so proud of Ginger---she has had so many roadblocks in her young life and she has raised such a fine young man! I know she's proud of him and we're proud of GINGER! I wish him all the luck in the world and I'm sure he will continue to be a blessing to his mom/grandmother Pam and Aunt Beth!...Tomorrow is Memorial Day and as Jack gave a special prayer for our servicemen and those who gave their lives for our country , I was reminded of Mr. Fry and Great Grandpa. Great Grandpa fought in WWI and Mr. Fry was in France for FOUR LONG YEARS during WWII. I don't know how Mrs. Fry stood it, being away from him so long! Pat was over 4 years old when he got back. I am so thankful for all those who fought for our freedom. I pray this Memorial Day everyone will stop and say a special prayer of thanksgiving for those young men (some the same age as Patrick!) who are putting their lives on the line for us. Brave, brave young men. God love them and keep them safe!
