This is one special woman! She claims she is the one who started all this hullabaloo! And she is right. Hullabaloo meaning what happens when we go home to visit and all of the kids are running around having the best time playing and laughing and doing what kids do best, all together. I love watching her watch them. I love watching my kids experience some of my most favorite memories when I was a kid...hanging out with my cousins and looking up to them (still do). There is something about family and I was blessed enough to have that growing up...not just my immediate family but the gobs and gobs of family that surrounded every birthday, holiday or special event (like bowling). I remember one summer in particular was the summer olympics and all of us cousins put on our own olympics around the swimming pool and Nana made us our very own gold medals and we even had a podium to stand on. That's special. I love hearing her stories even the same ones, especially when she tells me ones from when I was little. I love watching my girls with her...there is something so incredible about watching the generations spread out by years come together with one simple thing, LOVE! This woman loves and she taught us to love. She taught me tile rummy, black jack and how to make peanut butter toast with marshmallows. I was able to capture some awesome pictures of her with the kids the last time we were in town and just haven't had a chance to share them yet.
Special = Nana!
