Memorial Day

Today was such a special day! The whole family went to the Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Service. Papa had the amazing honor of laying the wreath in the service along with one other veteran. We were all so proud to see him up there and to hear the speakers tell his story of the Franklin to the hundreds of people there! Nicholas did so well during the service and sat patiently with us until Papa laid the wreath. He loved waving the flags and the 3 helicopter fly over. After Papa's part was over, I took Nicholas to the back where they had army jeeps and humvees for people to look at. He loved sitting and playing in the Jeeps. After lunch Banks and Shane put on a great concert. Nicholas was so precious dancing in the grass and trying to tag along with the big kids. Afterwards, we all went back to my parents house to relax, watch Papa on the news, and have a cookout. It was a wonderful day with my family. I know we all wished that Gami could have been with us to see her husband honored but I know she was watching and was so proud too!

We are so thankful for all of the men and women who have served our country so that we might live with the wonderful freedoms that we enjoy today. Thank you Veterans!
