Observing Memorial Day

[selenite0]

Quiet family day together. Late in the afternoon we sat down Maggie and Jamie and gave them a speech about soldiers, how they keep us safe and free, and why we need to remember and thank them. I read out the Gettysburg Address--that'll be Maggie's duty when she's old enough--and then we watched The Devil's Brigade. That or Gettysburg are part of our tradition for the holiday.

I like your traditions; it's something I'd like to emulate myself when we have a kid. :)
