That's awesome

Maddy and Reagan figured out that our neighbors actually light their fireworks early. They don't wait for the 4th of July. Fine with us. They were both huddled on GeeGee's setee and were leaning into the curtains as they watched and squealed with glee about the boomies and the fireworks.

It was so darn cute to watch. This is the year we planned to take them to see fireworks. I'm super excited do see this for the first time in years through a child's eyes. I love my loves.

Maddy's quote "That's awesome Mommy"! Pointing at the fireworks.

GeeGee and the University of Lousiville

I've thought about my GeeGee a lot lately. The March Madness tournament is going on now and her team - the University of Louisville Cardinals - were seeded #1. I think that's for the first time ever. They won their first round and is going to play again tomorrow.

I hope she has a TV up there in heaven! I bet she's watching. She must be so proud of her Cards playing so hard. That and Pitino is awesome.

I think of her almost everyday. I can't wait to tell Reagan stories about her and have her really understand them. Some days I kick myself for not taking Reagan to the nursing home before GeeGee passed away - she died about 2.5 weeks after she was born. I really miss her... and Reagan would have loved her.

GeeGee is watching us

Something I forgot to mention on Friday that is important. After leaving Five Seasons, I heard the sound of a bird chirping. It was very distinct and pretty. I turned around and it was a cardinal.

My thoughts immediately went to my Grandma – known as Geegee. She loved the University of Lousiville Cardnials – whether it was basketball or football, it didn’t matter. I just felt at that moment that she was looking in on my life and checking in on Reagan.
