You'll forgive me for being a little behind.

To say that the past few weeks have been busy would be a definite understatement. We've had birthday parties and family gatherings and I've been working some. It has been chaotic.

First: Abby's Nana and Papa went to Memphis to deliver some rocking chairs. And as we all know, a trip to Memphis would not be complete without a stop at Graceland. I made sure to tell Abby to let her grandparents know that she needed a t-shirt. We were not disappointed.



Some of you may remember the story of my mom's Elvis mug. She went on a mission to find another cup to replace her current, faded pink one. Unfortunately Graceland doesn't sell such things anymore, so my mom had to settle for one of those hard plastic cups with the huge flexible straw coming out of the top. I could tell she was disappointed, but I'm sure that given a few months, she'll have worn the writing off this new one, and it will be like old times.

If I had access to my mom's camera, I'd show you a few of the many pictures she took of Elvis's grave and the grounds of Graceland. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures inside the building unless you turn the flash off your camera, and my mom couldn't figure that one out, so we had a to settle for looking through the tour book she bought.

All that to say, we're trying to instill in Abby a love for the King of Rock and Roll (not to be mistaken with the King of Pop; although, Jason did teach Abby to moonwalk after MJ died).
