Red, White and Blue seemed to be everywhere......
and Sarah Kate's sweet freckles had made their full debut so it was officially Memorial Day weekend!
Grandpa and Bumpa invited us all over for a cookout and the day was great....looking back it was nostalgic....Grandpa at the grill and the smell of charcoal in the air.....
I remember sitting on the ground thinking Lila has the prettiest neck in the world
and thinking there is nothing sweeting than watching little girls play and twirl in bubbles.....
I sat talking to Mamaw and was so happy to be with her enjoying the kids.....
The kids lined up for turns on the swing and Reagan was last...and started to cry....Riggs gave up his turn for Reagan and Mamaw said Riggs had such goodness in his heart...and I was so proud of him....
We got out Water balloons and a water balloon fight began...and it was fun...and the kids were all smiles....I remember thinking this is what summer is all about....
But somehow between this picture...and the next few minutes the day changed....the kids ran around the house...balloons in hand....and the next thing we know Ryan is on top of Riggs punching him over and over in the face.
Each boy has a side. Each parent has an opinion, but it's hard, you know. It's just hard.The perfect Memorial Sunday was over and I hope we can all move forward....letting it go because we all know at the core of it all remaind family and love.
