Jacaranda

Brie's memory is sharp like her father's. About a year ago while driving I told her the beautiful trees in Mission Viejo that have purple blooms are called Jacarandas. Pretty tough word for a then 3-yr old to remember. Fast forward to May 2014, Brie is riding home from grandma's house and honestly not feeling 100% after being diagnosed with strep throat. So, she's quiet as a mouse the entire ride. Watching The Care Bears in the backseat. Not the normal chatty Brie. We are about 5 min from the house and out of the blue, she said "Jacaranda!" and I was just amazed. Shows me that not only is really paying attn to what I say, she's remembering what I say a year later. She's a special little girl. Happy Memorial Day from the Hogan girls!!!
