When we were in Iowa we were able to meet the kids of Ben's cousins. The parents kept talking about how it felt like only a few years ago they were watching their children run around the homes. Now, 10-15 years later, the kids running around are the grand babies.
These are the moments when you reflect on all the wonderful memories of your past. Ben was talking about pieces of furniture that had memories attached to it. For example these animal figurines his Grandma Blanche Stewart (seen below) have. She painted them by hand!!! The animals stand about 3 feet tall and the detail is impeccable!!!
These memories are what forms us into who we are . The good, the bad, the exciting, the uneventful.
Now, as Ben and I become parents we are trying to create that exact thing, memories.
Here are a few memories from meeting Great Grandma Stewart in Iowa. Madison warmed right up to her. Curling up, playing with her toes and giving Great Grandma some extra love.

| This little rocking chair was Madison's FAVORITE! Ever since this new found friendship we have been trying to find something similar but have not been successful. Madison would carry the mini chair somewhere, sit in it, rock her baby and then turn around, placing the baby in it. So cute! She also pat the baby's back and walked around with her. I am not sure if she was thinking she was burping the baby or putting her to sleep. My baby is already preparing to be a momma. |
