Ah-La-Lu (aka Mary Lou)


This is my Aunt Mary Lou, maker of amazing children's bedding, and the sweetest thing you will ever meet! Aunt Mary Lou was gracious enough to not only make Riley's beautiful baby bedding, but her new big girl bedding too. Today, while making her bed, RIley was chatting away as usual....she never stops! She has to know every little detail..."Who made my blanket?" I replied, "Mary Lou", she replied, "Who's Mary Lou again?" (we have been working on who is who in the family, and where they belong). I replied. "ET's sister, Grandad and Weese's daughter". Then she left it at that. Five minutes later, she asked me about Jesus, and for some reason I said Jesus in Spanish to see what she would do. I guess it triggered a thought and she replied...." No, Mommy, It's Ah-La-Lu". I said, " who is that?" She said "my blanket maker, on my bed Mommy". Then she proceeded to sing "Praise-e- the Lord, Hallelujiah". So, Mary Lou...I guess you trigger some pretty important thoughts. Doesn't surprise me in the least!

Disneyland 2008






Riley had an amazing time! She was beyond excited to see Minnie Mouse and to dance with the princesses! We had such a great time with Lulu, Aunt Elizabeth and cousin Isabella.
