Grand Kids Visit......

Our grand kids get to enjoy a young version of the manger scene. The ginger bread house is a Christmas tradition that our son has started with his kids a few years ago. I think he enjoys building them as much as his two boys. There were two houses even though you only see part of one.

We just returned from a visit to see the kids and grand kids. Ella is over seven months old now. We first saw her at three months and she changed so much since then. She is starting to move around. When placed on the floor she rolls around front to back. Yesterday she started to crawl with her arms. She flips around all over finding herself a long distances from where she had started. The gate to the downstairs will have to go up  pretty soon.

Teddy will be four next April. He is some shy at his age, but he is so full of energy.  He bounces at all times and has a wonderful smile. He enjoyed opening Christmas presents and finding a new talking books and building blocks filling station.

AJ will be seven years old in February. He inherited his height from his dad.  He is a serious Lego creator. He now has a Lego game that he can play with on the computer. He has grown up a lot and yet is still a kid.

We were encouraged by his parents to hold the little girl for a lot ot the time. She is so sweet with a great smile. A happy baby who let her grandparents enjoy her. We both had time to hold her when she really wanted to bounce.  I sat her down once on the floor and she took off rolling around and exploring everything on the floor.

We survived our trips to and from Chicago area. Our weather stayed good and today we are having rain.

Thank you for stopping by today.
