Memorial Day

For Memorial Day this year we went to the Cemetary.  Grandmother asked our family to take flowers up to the graves of her parents, sister-in-law and brother.  It was a neat experience for our family - we were able to introduce Reese to who she was named after.  I always enjoy taking Emma up there - she is so reverent there and respectful.  She enjoys hearing about her great-great Grandparents and learning about our family.  I love cemetary's on Memorial Day weekend - it's an incredible sight to see so many flowers, balloons, flags and other decorations. 

Reese by my Great - Grandmother's headstone.  This is who she was named after (although we did change the spelling of Reese to make it easier for her and more common)
