It’s been a wonderful week, welcoming this child, so happy to have her with us. When they arrived the other day, Dannell told me to pluck her from the carseat. I asked her if she was sure? Yes, she needs to be waked up to eat. So, that’s enough for me. But then p.j. […]

He really is. I invited t.c. and his brothers for a sleepover because I miss them. The brothers had strep throat and couldn’t come. But t.c. could. That’s fine. The brothers can come next week, maybe. We’ll figure it out. So the kid arrived and dodged around me like a hockey player and zeroed in

This beautiful baby, our youngest grandchild, is turning two. There was a feast and celebration. Dannell generously asked me to bake a cake. Fancy cakes from the store are wonderful, and I like those too. But it feels like an honor to bake a cake for someone I love. These little boys are too much.
