MILK CARTONS


I was going to cut and paste the pictures of Hunter and Tyler on a milk carton and send a pic to their parents saying "have you seen recent pictures of these babies" and sign it Gramma and Grampa are looking desperately for them - but low and behold, Natalie finally updated her pics of Hunter at least, now Skippy will NEED to get on board (hint hint). Here is one of such a sweet boy. He is my Nanny to the T! Looks like her as a baby. Unreal. Told Gramps, it's time to get on the bike and go to FL!
Need to squeeze, smell, hug, and hold those grandkids. I miss them sooooo much.

EMILY STORY



This was one pic Miss Francis took of us when Em was here. I was reminded today of the one thing that Emily did in the car when we were taking her back to her mom and dad.

We were on the motorcycle today and Nick could sense that I was "bored". I get figity and I kept shifting and putting my leg up on his and he leaned back and said "are you bored" I said, why? can you tell? He said, you could always burp your ABC's. Now this is what Emily did, in the car the last hour of our trip, she literally burped her ABC's. Nick and I were laughing so hard, full well knowing she had to have been so bored out of her little mind in the back seat to come up with burping her ABC's. I might add, she didn't miss a beat and then announced her belly hurt. Nick was laughing so hard, he was crying. That's what keeps us young, our grandkids. Some folks would be aghast, not us, why sweat the small stuff, we figured, mom and dad could retrain her when she got home.

THE VIEW FROM THE PORCH




Nick walked out on the back porch when he got home from work this week and this is what he found. Not more than 500 yards from the deck - right near the fence line. We have been watching these two from a distance in the pasture graze for several weeks. This is the closest they have ever come to the house. Pretty cool.
