Nashville Additions!

Nashville Additions!

Two awesome things happened right before the crew and I headed up to Mom’s for her move.

These two moved to Nashville from California and we could not be more thrilled:

J’s boat lives in our front yard for now, which makes us seem way cooler than we really are:

Second, shortly after they got moved T + J were over for dinner on a night cousins were staying overnight, which meant my adult niece, with whom Buds and I have many fond memories of visits to us when she was little, was in our house with our young nieces and nephew, who are the age now that she was when T had those annual visits.

My heart swelled up in my throat at the circle of life and how grateful I am to have lived by all these little people when they were little.

And now, to have T + J close to us here, as my own children are growing up?! It makes me cry from gratitude as I type this.

A little throwback for posterity’s sake:

Can’t wait to make memories with all of them, young and old.
