So, just a portion of what we've been up to lately. We went to Ashley's as I said in a previous post and had a ball! We even went to Ft. Sumter and burnt slap up! It was so flippin' hot!
The kids all held up well tho. It's SO wonderful seeing all three girls with big grins on their faces! We love their husband/boyfriends too! This is a first! HA! really.
Then, one day, Lily was playing on the front porch with me, Britt and David and nose dived off the top step. Dr. Flanders said it could take up to a year for the scarring to fade away, but it's looking great already. Isn't she just so little here?
In between her speech and occupational therapies, we go to Waffle House for a feeding. Lily loved sitting at the counter.
As usual, we go to Kentucky every few weeks to catch the shows. Here is Court and Jake entertaining the crowds. I'll put a video on here of them singing when I figure out how. They really sound SO good together. Their harmonies are just like honey and his guitar picking is the best I've ever heard. He come from bluegrass, so his country picking has a lot of bluegrass roots. Just awesome.
He sang "Eleven Roses" to her during one show and it was a tear-jerker. They need to record themselves.
I love this next picture. Grandma Terry is at an assisted living place that is just beautiful. There is staff everywhere and she is just blossoming here. She socializes, plays bingo, eats properly and gets loads of exercise. Her memory has returned and she's sharp as a tack. She is the most amazing person I've ever known. Lily just LOVES her and Gma Terry LOVES Lily. Britt did well when she named Lily after her. What a legacy to carry! I'm just so happy to have pictures of them together so Lily can know where she came from.
Lily and Silker were together for 20 months before Silker passed away. We have loads of those pictures too, but Lily's personality didn't really come out until after her death. I don't think there's a day that goes by that I don't soooo wish she were here to laugh at Lily. And she would have!
We went to visit her yesterday with John and Ash. Lily and Gma T. were just clinging to each other and hugging and laughing. It was beautiful. Ashley enjoyed the visit too. REALLY! lol
We're going back again this weekend. Ash and John wants to go for Ashley's 25th birthday. We NEVER need a reason to go, so a go we shall!
David got Lily a Clemson outfit, so she had to model it. She'll be wearing it a lot during the games this year. I'm sure she knows more about football than I do! lol!
David taking Lily for a walk.
Here is a moment I captured while on the ferry boat to Ft. Sumter. Lily is NEVER still, so I was glad to get this one in focus!
