For Grandpa

Ellie wanted to decorate something for Grandpa...so that is what we did today. We had no school today, because of Fair Day. If you are reading this and asking yourself..."What in the world is Fair Day????" you are missing out, my friends! In our county, we actually have a day off school for the county fair. Yep....totally true. So, Ellie was off and so was I....so we decided this would be "decoration day!"

Ellie made a picture for my dad, and the only way I could think of to keep it nice was to put it in a large baggie and then stake it down.

Reid made one too, and Ellie wanted to make sure that Grandpa knew this was from Reid. So, she put his name on the paper first. Then, she thought about it and asked me, "How will Grandpa know that I wrote Reid's name?" So, then she added her name as well. Just to be safe, of course!

I bought a fall "decoration" if you will for Dad. I think his stone looks very nice.

Ellie also picked this flower from the tree next to dad's stone. She wanted to take it home with her to think of Grandpa, as she put it. It's in a vase next to her bed as we speak. My heart is smiling. (and I am sure Dad is, too)

We all miss you and love you, Dad. I hope you know just how much. xoxoxoxox
