The little peanut...

...is so cute!  We were able to go up to our daughter's home this past weekend and visit our
 new little grandson this past weekend and is he ever a cutie pie.

Grandma had to take lots of photos of course. Many didn't turn out  because the lighting
was terrible, but I did get a few good ones.

love his little hat 

I think Grandpa is trying to tell him all about the hard knocks of life,
but Daniel is oblivious. That will come soon enough. 

Beautiful baby boy...:)

A friend of my daughters took these two photos of his little feet...so sweet!

His little foot with his ankle monitor on. Wow, are things different than when I had my babies.
No one can even attempt to walk out the door with this little guy. :) I suppose that is a good
thing, but very sad that our society has come to this.

13 year old sister Allysha singing to her baby brother. He loves it! He was crying on the
way home from the hospital and he quieted right down as she sang *Twinkle, twinkle little
star* and other tunes to him. Allysha has a beautiful voice...I love to hear her sing.

The kids made two "birthday" cakes for the day Daniel came home. This one with the diaper and
another one with a pacifier on it. Too cute!

I am in full swing here in the boonies working on goodies for a holiday bazaar that I signed up
to be in. Somedays I wonder why I did that, but it is keeping me busy so that is good.

We took our car to the body shop last night and they will have it for at least a week to fix the
damage from a week or so ago when someone sideswiped us.  Will be so glad when all that
 is done and behind us.

Can I just say one thing? Please, let's all be kind to one another. No matter the color of our
skin, our religious beliefs or any other differences we may have...
 KINDNESS matters.

Daddy...Let's go fly my kite...up to the highest height...

Let's go fly *my* kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere...

up where the air is clear...

Oh, let's go fly *my* kite!

With tuppence for paper and strings

You can have your own set of wings

With your feet on the ground

You're a bird in a flight

With your fist holding tight

To the string of your kite

When you send it flyin' up there

All at once you're lighter than air

You can dance on the breeze

Over 'ouses and trees

With your fist 'olding tight

To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh! Let's go fly *my* kite

Up to the highest height!

Let's go fly *my* kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Let's go fly *my* kite!

I love that song that Julie Andrews sings from Mary Poppins.

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with our son

and his family Sunday. Annika has been wanting to

fly her kite and it was a good day. She loved it

as you can tell by the expression on her face.

Memories in the making...

Go out and do something spontaneous and fun today...

better yet...go fly a kite!

Can I Just Say...

what a sweetheart our 10 year old granddaughter is!

We had the priviledge of having her spend the past week

with us and it has been an absolute joy!

You need to understand that this is the granddaughter

who lived with us from the day she was born,

{I watched her come into this world...*sniff* sniff*}

until she was four years old and now

she lives three hours away. We don't get to see

each other near as often as we would like so

we had a fun week together, but it flew by

way too fast and I miss her already ~

This precious child has more insight than

some adults that I know.

If I take her shopping and give her a few dollars,

she very rarely spends it on herself.

Her first thought is for others...her brother Jon...

or baby Joshua. She thinks of them first ...

or her mom and dad.

She is so kindhearted ~

A couple days ago my youngest son said to her, "Allysha, why don't you spend some of the

money on yourself" ... to which she answered

just as sweet as sweet could be...

"but I don't really need anything"

{lump in throat here...proud as proud can be}

*A little child shall lead them...*
