Remember before how we said we couldn't get around to doing things on time? Here's a great example. Well, better late than never. . . Back in May, Jessica turned ten (10!). To celebrate, we took a nostalgic trip back to Memphis to rekindle some memories, and make some new ones. We took her all over the city and showed her ten different things that were significant in her early life.
Here's the list:
- First Evan (our first church as a family)
- Lunch at Benihana (a Japanese steakhouse where they cook at your table)
- The hospital where she was born
- Our old house and neighbor, Mr. Johnson
- The carousel at the mall (one of Scott and Jessica's favorite hangouts)
- Mother/Daughter/Friend banquet at Hope Pres (the church where Melinda's brother and sister in law, Matt and Mary Jo, attend and Mary Jo works)
- Oh Susanna's donut shop (owned and operated by Scott's parents, Dick and Susanna)
- Visit with the Albright's (some good friends, and Jessica's girlfriend from First Evan)
- Presents at Cameron Brown park
- An Irish Festival with Mary Jo
The show is pretty big. It may take a while to download, so be patient. While it's doing its thing, click on the "Memory Game" button to keep yourself occupied!
We tried it once and the music didn't play. If you don't hear music, just hit the "Back" button on your browser to re-start the show. It should work then.
Finally, keyboards are susceptible to water damage. Please keep some Kleenex handy so you don't cry all over your computer! ;)

You're a goofball Jess, but that's why I love you!!! I can't believe your dad put the silly photo of us in there. That was hilarious! Thanks for the memories!
What a great slideshow from a great visit! I had so much fun celebrating with you, Jessica. Thanks for including me in the fun! You are a beautiful 10 year old and I'm so proud of you! Melinda and Scott, you did a great job with the slideshow and blog.
