Random Monday Memories #23 . . .

I ran across this picture that my son scanned for me back in August.

I think this was taken in May 1985.

(Thanks, Sis Sue, for helping me get the date right.)

Wish I had taken time back then to write on the back of all pictures.

These adorable children are my nephew, Grant, niece, April, my son, Bobby and Ashley (she calls me Aunt Carol & I love it), my brother-in-law's niece.  They are sitting on the bench in front of my parents' shoe store in my hometown. 

We had all gathered downtown to watch the annual reunion parade.

So long ago & brings back so many memories.

Now we're making new memories with new little ones in our family.

Grant's little 8 month old  Iris, April's 4 year old Elsie and Bobby's 2 children (my grandkids), 2 year old Ethan & 10 month old Emma.  

April & her husband, Jason are expecting another little girl in May.

They have been trying to decide on a name for the new baby & I suggested several names which included my #1 pick, Madison.

Guess what?

They like it & have decided on the name Madison Elaine.

I'm so excited!  

Thanks for letting me share my Mommy, Auntie brag book picture with you!
