Month of Gratitude


This is a long ago photo of Ella with a doll she made at our house.


And here is Ara with her doll.


As I recall, it was a project Ara was doing for a class at school - and Ella just wanted to make one also.  I remember Bruce was helping them - I was providing supplies and the sewing machine I think.

I am so grateful for happy doll-making memories!!  And so grateful for Ara and Ella - who are growing up fast - too fast it seems at times - they will flee the nest before we can blink if we're not careful.

I know the grandchildren will all grow up and away - that's what kids are supposed to do.  But it doesn't make you miss them any less.  Which is why happy memories are so essential - and why I am grateful for them!
