Grandma Mrs. Nash
We lost a dear, dear friend this morning, Lucile Nash, affectionately known in our house as 'Grandma Mrs. Nash'. Lucile lived across the street from us for over 30 years. Because Meghan and Matthew's grandparents didn't live close, Lucile became their local grandmother. Mr. and Mrs. Nash were the first visitors when we brought home both babies from the hospital. She would visit their classrooms on Grandparents' Day and babysit when I needed a hand. Once when I taught in Evansville and John was busy, I came home to find her watching over Matthew who had come home early from school with a bad headache.Lucile made THE best cookies in the world and would always bring over a plate warm from the oven. Our all time favorites were the chocolate chip cookies and also the sunflower seed cookies. As many times as I have tried her recipes, I could never duplicate them.Through the years, she kept abreast of Meghan and Matthew's milestones and accomplishments as if they were a part of her family. Recently, she enjoyed hearing about Carter, Sadie, and Emma and we were able to share with her the news of our newest family addition due this summer.Lucile was a mother and grandmother to our family. We love you and miss you.

I will miss your yummy cookies and the candy in your gum drop/jelly bean jar. You were always like a grandma to me. We will all miss you dearly.

Toys!

Emma has some new toys that have taken over the house these days. She has had her Little People house for some time, but she plays with it all the time right now. She loves her Little People. The Easter Bunny brought her the ladybug Pillow Pet, which is now a bedtime favorite. We scored big with the Cozy Coupe this weekend with all the neighborhood garage sales. Emma doesn't move anywhere, but climbs in and out, in and out. She has been pretending to have tea parties almost every day, so I thought she should have a tea set to play the right way. Doesn't everyone need a tea service for two? I can already tell this summer is going to be tons of fun with all the toys!

BIG SISTER!!

Emma is proud to share that she will be a big sister! She will have a baby sister sometime in the middle of August. Everyone is feeling well and super excited!
