A beautiful symbol of Daddy's love for his girls
We got a wonderful surprise for Memorial Day this year. Last year, as soon as was possible after the girls were born, Michael decided that he wanted to plant a special rose bush for his daughters. I thought that it was so sweet that he wanted to do something special for them right after they were born. And, he did it himself with no help from me. Well, he was really disappointed because the roses on the rose bush he planted didn't bloom last summer. We worried throughout the winter that maybe the rose bush hadn't taken properly and wouldn't live. On Memorial Day, however, the rose bush bloomed with two beautiful red blossoms. Michael was so excited that the first bloom produced two blossoms that opened on the same day only a few hours apart from one another. What a beautiful symbol of our girls and the love that their Daddy has for them!! If we sell our house, we have it stated in our contract already that the rose bush goes with us. We couldn't stand to leave something so special behind.
We spent Memorial Day this year with my parents, sister, grandmother and Braxton. It was a good day. Abby wasn't feeling really well for part of the day, so she didn't get a chance to play as much as the other two kiddos, but I think she had a good day cuddling with Mommy and Mimi Cinda for the majority of the day. Braxton was so excited because he got a chance to teach Rory (and Abby later on) all about bubbles! Rory was fascinated with the bubbles that Braxton blew for her. The two of them played together in Gigi's backyard for a good portion of the afternoon. Braxton would blow bubbles for Rory and they would both race to pop the bubbles. Abby even got in on the fun for a little while. It was so much fun for them!
