Something Old, Something Treasured

 My Grandma passed away this January.
In October I was able to spend the weekend with my sister and go through a box my Mom made up for us of things my Grandma had saved that we made.



My Grandpa and I were very close. He was my very best friend growing up. 
We named our first born son, Samuel, after him. 
I was thankful he was a part of my boys lives as long as he was, my Grandpa passed away in 2005. Sam was five years old when he passed and Atticus was three.

My sister and I had a fun day together. We of course laughed at our fun art work and sayings we came up with as little girls.
The best part was when I shared this with my boys. "Mom, did you really make this?" 

Happy Wednesday!

  3. Isn't that something Carla ?
    I saved all of my kids cards and such - and then we had a flood and I lost everything -
    Keep them in a safe place - they're priceless !

  11. How sweet and wonderful. My grandmother continues to be a part of my life, even though she passed away years ago. I can only hope I can be half the granny she was to me.
