Over the Easter weekend we visited my Grandpa Boose. Bay and Jackson love going there to hear his stories and checkout all of this collectibles. They are particularly drawn to the "army stuff", as they call it. Below Jackson is showing off the German helmet from World War II. We are extremely proud of Grandpa Boose. He was an active soldier in WWII and received many medals for his service. Of course, he doesn't like to tell the stories, he is a humble man not asking for attention. He just turned 96 in April. He is incredible!
Ok, for the record, yes that is an Alabama shirt my youngest is sporting; HOWEVER, it was a gift from a special person...or he would not be wearing it. Miss Davis, his former teaching intern, gave him this shirt for his birthday. She is such a sweet person, whom we really like and Jackson simply adores her. Now he will have a shirt for the Alabama/Auburn day at school. He keeps saying "I hope Miss Davis is my teacher next year".
It is really sweet for me to see my boys playing in the same yard I did as a child. I loved to walk down the street to my Grandma and Grandpa Boose's home and spend the day just doing nothing, but being a kid. The boys found a great climbing tree and scaled right up.
