She would have totally gotten a kick out of the fact that Lane chose to wear her pink, sparkly shoes, a special, beaded orange necklace, and a pink purse, while Lucy opted to accessorize with a more conservative pair of white sandals and a Dora backpack.
She would have really loved the following things that the kids said:
Ethan (scowling): "Dora is totally spoiled. If she needs anything, it's bam! Right there in her backpack! SO SPOILED." Upon further thought, I have to agree.
Lucy (in her quiet, high voice, while pointing at the moon): "Yook, Mommy, it's a planet in da sky!" I have no idea where she learned about planets, but I suspect Dora.
Lane (in her exact-opposite-of-quiet voice, after I asked her if she wanted to go home and swim): "No, I no swim, I go to BEACH! BEACH, YAY!"
Grandma also would have laughed with me when I walked outside and the wind blew my dress WAY up and I was holding a little hand in each of my hands! Boy, those moments are MUCH better shared!
It was her birthday on Sunday, and she would have been 82. Grandma, I still miss you tons, and I REALLY hope you get to enjoy a bacon cheeseburger every now and then!

That Dora...she's a sneaky one.
I always think of my sweet Grandma when I make her apple pie. She was so wonderful and I miss her so very much. My grandparents wedding anniversary is on the 4th of July and I always wonder if they're watching fireworks together. There's fireworks in Heaven, right? I'm sure there would be for Dora...
So cute...where we live it's super windy sometimes too...hate that darn wind when I've got a skirt on!
Cutie accessories. I'm excited to see your cute kids in a month!
Aw, I loved this post.
What a great post to your Grandma Jones. I loved it just as much as she would have....
Missing Grandma tons lately! Sometimes I call Georgia "Gigi" after her. Wish we could all get together and laugh! Hope to see you this fall or sooner.
