Veteran's Day

Last Tuesday, we celebrated the freedom given to us by our brave Veteran's by enjoying the beautiful Fall Day at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.

Gracie was only 13 months old last time we went to the Railroad Park in March of 2004. This has always been one of my favorite pictures of our blue eyed baby girl.

Nate LOVED having big boy Josh with us! They took turns wrestling, chasing and tackling each other on the grass.

The girls got in on the tackling action too!

Tickets to ride the train were only a dollar!

The original plan for today was to visit the Phoenix Zoo.  I'm so glad we decided to go with Plan B.

The park has terrific train displays... the kids were entranced by them.

Our day ended with my favorite moment of the day... watching a Veterean sing God Bless America while accompanied by the 108th Army Band.

Our mug with Gracie's picture, "Gracie blue eyes" is sitting right next to me, I love that picture too! It's on my refrigerator as well. However, the picture of Nathan, the third picture on this blog page could be called "Nathan, Mr. Brown eyes" just like his Mom's. I was the first person who said Nathan would have brown eyes just like Loraine. No one could convince me that either Loraine or Nathan would have any other color than brown. Just like we all knew Gracie would not have any other color than blue. I am so glad you had a great day with Gracie, Nathan, Josh and Sophie Mae, they looked like they were enjoying their day too.
I love you! MOM
