Sometimes Mommy thinks about how much Austen would have enjoyed spending time with Grandma Judi and vice versa. She pictures all the singing and playing that would have happened. Austen loves to laugh and Grandma Judi loved to make people smile. Mommy and Grandma Judi, and even Daddy, all have a bit of silliness and wackiness to their personalities. And Austen eats up stuff like that. When Mommy or Daddy laugh at a TV show, Austen joins in. When Mommy and Daddy wrestle and chase each other around the room, Austen burst into laughter.
Grandma Judi’s clothes accentuated her free-spirited, fun-loving side, so Mommy used swatches from them for a Grandma Judi Quilt. In the photos above, Austen is sitting in a rocking chair made for her by Grandpa Earl.
Mommy showed the quilt to everyone at the Open House on May 20th. Grandpa Earl liked it especially and said he remembered Judi wearing each and every one of the fabrics used to make the quilt.
