Okay so this post will be in reverse order since I am too lazy right now to reverse all the photos. :)
We headed back to Delphos last weekend to be with family as we remembered our mom. Saturday, the 23rd, marked one year since her passing. It blows my mind to think I have lived this long without my mom. Then to think of living the rest of my life without her is just unfathomable and quite heartbreaking actually. I am so sad that my children will not have vivid memories of her, only those that we keep alive through stories, books, and pictures of Mom. I know in my heart she is watching over us and especially over her grandbabies, but every day I still wish she were here with us. I am glad she is no longer in pain and no longer has to struggle through the days--I am glad that she has been reunited with her loved ones in Heaven that passed before her. But that doesn't take away the pain of missing her.
One thing Bailey and I wanted to do was to plant something at Mom's headstone-so Sydney helped to pick out this beautiful bright, colorful mum. We didn't get out there until Saturday afternoon but it was a windy and pretty evening.
Earlier that day we had enjoyed lunch at Grandma Dodo's house--afterward the "big" girls (who used to be the babies!) played outside!
Sydney talking with Grandma Dodo
Getting the sidewalk chalk ready to go!
a praying mantis by the girls as they were coloring!
The current "babies"...Gavin and Piper; they are approximately 3.5 months apart in age
the little Mister playing :)

She was pretty proud of her new 'do!
