Happy Memorial Day

Grace spent her first Memorial Day in the center of Limerick with Mommy, Daddy, Maddy, & Poppy as she watched her very first parade! Our small town parade lasted ten minutes and Grace was thrilled to see the town's ambulance, fire truck, elementary school band, brownie troop, and a real horse go by. Grace was lucky enough to see the parade not once but TWICE since they redid the entire parade in the reverse direction too - aren't small towns wonderful! Maddy points out the horse to Grace as it gallops down the street. This was Grace's first time seeing a real horse......a very special moment shared between Grace and Maddy. Daddy loved the parade too! He said he had never seen anything quite like it! :) Grace clenches her stroller as she eagerly anticipates the parade approaching for the SECOND time. Hooray!
Mommy missed much of the parade the second time around since she couldn't resist giving Grace lots & lots & lots of kisses!

    Home again, home again jiggy jig!
    Back in Middlebury...but we are flying higher than all the flags on Memorial Day!
    Our visit to Bob, Rebecca and Grace's home was a star spangled weekend. Grace is so perfectly beautiful in every way possible...and then some!!
    Missing you with hearts so full of love we don't think we can sleep tonight!
    Maddy & Poppy

    How precious! Those memories will be better and more entertaining than if you had been crushed together at Macy's parade.
    Grace had quite a few firsts on her first Memorial Day.
    Love to you all,
    Memere
