Story time-Love You Forever

Today I found a copy of a book the I love and cherish and  I want to share the story on how I got the book:
My mother died in 1998 from a brain aneurysm and she was not able to be at my wedding to give a gift that she always said she wanted to give me.  So my aunts decided to make sure that I got the gift.  So on my wedding day they got my suitcase without me knowing and placed a gift inside it. 

So when Channing and I were on our honeymoon I opened up my suit case to unpack and their was a gift for me.  I told Channing thank you and he said that he did not get that for me.  So, I opened the gift and it was a book Title Love You Forever.  I opened the first page and my aunts had wrote a story about how they knew that my mother wanted to give me this book on my wedding day.  I had never read this book, so on my honeymoon I read the book and cried my eyes out and now every time I read it I cry. 

I have read it to Kennedy several time but today at story time it was Brooklyn's first time hearing it.  It brings joy to my heart every time I read it and also I cry. 

I miss my mother but I know that this little children's book will be a way I can share the love I have for my mother with my girls.  My mother would love to see the girls but she is in a better place with the Lord and that puts peace in my soul.

Papa taught Kennedy how to ride her bike!!!!

While at the beach house Kennedy was wanting to ride her bike.  So I went outside with her to teach her how to ride(with training wheels)  but she was getting so upset she would say "mommy it is not working".  So I told her to have daddy help her.  Well, Papa Randall came down to the beach to visit us at his beach house and they were outside washing the golf cart and she just jumped on and started going and she did not stop.  She was so excited and happy that she had to tell everyone.

After the bike ride her and Papa Randall wen to the local arcade and she played all the fun games and she won tickets.  With her arcade tickets she bracelets.  She was so protective of her bracelets she thought they were gold.
