christmas season 2009

Christmas season feels real when Carol gives me my wreaths to put lights on. this year so far I have done five, with 600 lights each.

Last camping trip

The last camping trip ended abruptly when all agreed it was cold and we couldn't ride our bikes. It is the first time we had to leave early and there were many tears. We made the best of it, but the water froze, so no water in bathroom or kitchen. The children could of cared less, but Nana is not an extreme camper. (I don't think Papa or Chris are either) We unloaded the motorhome of all food, water and stuff. I will be looking forward to the next beautiful weekend, when we can pile in and go again.

Two nights at Nana's

Mary and Kenny came to spend two nights at our house. You would not believe what these little monkeys can do when I am not looking. Kenny can get in and out of the portacrib. He has such strong body strength that he lifts himself up and then swings his leg. I can't even do that. Mary relaxes...she watches tv, playes with the toys, fights with Kenny and eats cereal like there is no tomorrow. Kenny ate one bowl today and Mary ate two big ones...they were sweet and they had a good time, no one wanted to go home. (Nana, was tired and kissed them goodbye)
