He knew them all, even obscure ones like Bertie and Mavis. I was impressed. Plus it’s so fun to listen to his tiny voice say, “Percy!” It’s always after […]

That’s what we did today. Here they are loading packages onto a conveyor belt, then they run upstairs and do other things. It’s like a factory with a shipping department. This was the room with a shadow puppet light show, though the picture is crap. Gears, b.g. working them. His mom doesn’t work Fridays and
It was a pretty great day, a fun day to be grandparents. (Well. That’s pretty much true every day.) Dannell teaches at a private school, and the kids also attend there. First there was a church service, very lovely. Then the kids sang songs, also lovely. Then roast beef and mashed potatoes, green beans, and

Yes, it was. Here is the morning, already hot. This guy is still in pajamas. Here’s a little school work happening. And here’s a Moo Jr. happening. Oh yes, the wild game begins: Jump up– raspberries– shrieking– He turns around to begin again: She likes it. Okay, Julia took this picture. Not sure who took

Kirsten gave me a frame for my birthday that’s specifically a house frame. Soooo, I’ve been waiting for just the right day to get a picture–when the maple tree is amazing and the sun is shining. Yes! We got it. To take the pictures I went across the street to the sidewalk. Some teenaged boys
It was a perfectly gorgeous day. And that little girl is almost seven months now, and she’s going nuts, pulling herself up on the furniture. She falls a lot, and she HATES a bumped head–makes her scream in outrage. But in the little car she’s safe, can do all her stunts without hurting herself. We
