Six - and Sixty

 Summer passed & I hadn't yet taken the annual Arbor shot, so today was the day. We have been blessed with amazing weather right through September. Our six beautiful grandchildren are all growing up so quickly and, except for Natasha, are all in school this year!
 These boys love to play sports - it doesn't really matter which sport, although they have their preferences... there is never a lack of energy or enthusiasm.
 My wonderful man had a milestone birthday this weekend. We spent a fun evening with friends on Friday, and today we celebrated with our family. He still has a bike on his "bucket list" but for now, the only one he got was on his cake. Some things just don't lend themselves well to birthday gifts. :)
 These two cousins really enjoyed each others company today - pretty cute to see relationships develop early.

Maplelea Girls visit their American Cousins

 
Posted by PicasaI had included a long story about our trip, but once again, blogger has chosen to send it to cyberspace, rather than post it.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow... if anyone is interested, that is.

Mothers Day 2012

 I'm posting 3 very similar pictures from today, but I  love all the different expressions, so I couldn't choose just one. I especially love Natasha's grin as she's anticipating her next bite of dessert... it was a very good weekend. I am blessed with an amazing family!

tiny princess

Today Natasha was introduced to zwiebach. She was delighted that she could have a piece for each hand, and after walking around with them for a minute she realized that this was something she could eat!
Well, it didn't take long for her to find a spot in the sunshine (scarce as it has been) with her cup of water & she had herself a lovely picnic! She was allowed to take a second one downstairs with her, and it didn't take long for her to make the long trip back upstairs to ask - very politely - for a third. Of course, grandma said yes. Who could resist such a charming little princess?
