Little Maddyson Turns Two

We gathered July 26th at Adam (my nephew, Suzy's son) and Kara's in Mooresville to celebrate their little Maddyson's second birthday.

Below is Aimee, me and Suzy on the left and Mindy and Becky on the right. Aimee and Mindy are my brother Jim's daughters and Becky is their mom. My sissy Mel took this photo.

Kara made the monkey cake for Maddyson. She's a big fan of Curious George, I think!

Carrie (my nephew Alan's wife) and Jackson....

Watching Maddyson tear through all her presents....it was a hoot!

We Miss Marina!

Grant's girlfriend and her family moved to Alabama two weeks ago (July 24th). We took the two of them out to eat the night before. Here's two photos from that night. I sure do miss having Marina in the house...hearing her giggles wafting up the stairway and knowing where Grant was most of the time because they spent so much time here! Miss you Marina!
