Jackie is feeding Andrew while we cruise down the road. She is an awesome helper with her brother and he loves the attention.

Jackie & Riley cut out dozens of animals from their coloring books and used them as action figures. They make up elaborate stories and play for hours. It is quite entertaining to watch!

We zipped over to Paulding to reunite the 2nd cousins, Andrew & Teddy. They are a month apart, but haven’t been together for 8 months. It was great to watch them play together.

During a visit with Aunt Easter, we found an old pic of Pappy, his dad (William Riley, the namesake of our Riley), and great grandparents William and Mary-Susan’s wedding photo.

Dad was quite proud of Andrew and his newfound love of moon pies.

The grocery store had this old pony and rides were only a penny! It reminded me of going shopping with my mom when I was a kid. We had to get our 2 cents worth!

After church, we went to visit the great-grandparents. Pappy has only been gone a year and the girls each had a favorite memory they shared. They had lots of fun memories of Pappy.

In keeping with our Meadows heritage, family time usually happens on the front porch. This picture reminds me of our visit to West Virginia and all the time we spent sitting on Uncle Chester’s porch.

Using a marshmallow roaster for a microphone, Jackie sang us a little song. Her creativity never ceases to amaze. IMG_4695.mov

Andrew immediately fell in love with steering wheels. I’m not sure if this is foreshadowing or just strong make genes. Either way, he loves to drive!
