Here's Lily playing on the lawn mower. She thought it was great fun, and would not keep her gloves on.
One of the things we really wanted to do was to get a picture of the 4 generations of Hammond men. Robby's the only boy in his family. Grandpa Hammond drove up from the Tri-Cities. It's always fun to visit and catch up with him.
Lance getting to know his Great Grandpa.
Robby's sister Beckie has a boy, Thomas, who turns one the beginning of February. She helped us play with Lance. It was a lot of fun to have the two boy cousins together.
Lance has Thomas' pacifier in his mouth in this picture.
Robby's mom with the two boys.
We went over to Robby's cousin's house in Moses Lake. Lance became great friends with Neil.
On Christmas day we went out to Emily's gravesite. Robby's parents had already cleaned it off and put the Christmas tree there. It was only our second time seeing the gravesite. I was having a hard time figuring out how to explain it to Lily. Because Emily's body is there, but we don't really feel like Emily is there. Her spirit at least. Which is all hard to explain to a two year old. Finally Robby said it's a place we go to to remember Emily. Which I thought was a good explanation. While we were there we rolled around in the snow like how Emily used to roll. The day before, at our house in Texas, we'd watched videos of Emily from past Christmas's.
Lily looks just like Emily to me in this picture. When I first saw it for a split second I thought it was Emily rolling around!
Lily letting snowballs fly. We attempted sledding, but she fell of the sled and got a face full of snow, so it didn't go so well. There's a video on facebook of it if you're curious!
Sorry, this picture is out of order. This is at the airport on Christms Eve. She had to carry Elmo with her.
