I lost track of how many times the kids went back for more. Just being together perked everyone's appetite. Then it was on to the mall to find some early bargains on school clothes. They all scattered in different directions and I found a seat to wait them out. We were making memories.
Memories are important.
This is the month that we measure the grandkids. They take turns standing against the wall in the front closet and we mark their height and the year. This is also a memory making time, as each one reflects on the lines of their life. Their ages range from 22 months to 17 years and we have marked every year since they were old enough to stand up against the wall. That wall has become one of my most cherished places in our home.
