They Survived!

We were glad to make it back home tonight. Two nights away was long enough and we were ready to see the kids again.

Grammie kept them fed and happy, and it seems they kept her happy too. They kept her up too late, got her lost for awhile looking for a park, and talked her into watching videos, but in spite of it all, they really had a memorable weekend. Grammie leaves us in the morning and we'll miss having her around. We'll have to come up with some excuse to get her back up here again soon.

Grammie and a Puzzle

We were so happy to get home from school and piano lesson to find Grammie had made it here for her weekend visit. She lives a bit too far away to see her very often, so we're always glad when she can make the trip. Ben had an idea to put together a new frog puzzle sent for his frog birthday from Grandpa John & Grandma Hazel. Everyone joined in the fun, and we even included some reinforcement from our neighbor, Charmaine. Teamwork was the key word for this project. Before we knew it, the puzzle was done and we were all in the mood for a good evening together.

Grammie is here because Becky & Clint are heading out for a Pathfinder Leadership Training Weekend, and she is brave enough to stay along with the kids while we're gone. This will be our first try at this, and we hope it will all go smoothly. We leave tomorrow afternoon and return on Sunday evening.
