| This is Alex's 'weedeater'. Quite an interesting interpretation. |
After a few attempts Grandma was finally able to get her blog update to us. So here it is. . . Looks like they had fun. Love the picture of Alex and Amelia with Ma. It's so sweet. Sure wish Ma knew what was going on though.
Boy did we have fun with Alex and Amelia while mommy and daddy were in Mexico! Nana brought
them to Virden on Thursday morning. It was such a beautiful day that after lunch we went outside to
play. Alex drove sissy around in the tricycle a while, but then she got tired so while she took a nap, Alex
and I went back outside to visit the diggers. When Papa got home from work we played outside some
more—Alex loves to drive Papa’s old truck and insisted on taking a certain set of keys which contains
a truck key, and he quickly figured out which key fit though as of yet can’t get it started—if he had, I’m
sure he would have insisted on driving as well. We Skyped with Aunt Sara and Evalee and Alex sang
Happy Birthday to her. Amelia was REALLY excited to Skype with Mommy and Daddy! It rained most of
the day on Friday so we had to play inside and watch a movie or two. Amelia can sure hold her own with
her big brother—she’s a tough as nails and is an eating MACHINE!!
Saturday we loaded up the car to head to Hillsboro to see Great Grandma Furness—we would have
been there an hour earlier, but Papa and Grandma really no nothing about car seats! When we got to
Hillsboro we went out to the boat dock at the lake and fed the big fish crackers and bread—and then
we headed over to Fusion to go swimming. It sure takes Grandmas a lot longer to get kids dressed and
undressed than it does Mommies!! Alex was the last one out of the pool before closing! We had supper
at McDonald's and Alex ordered chicken nuggets, but when he took one look at Grandma’s quarter
pounder---well let’s just say the nuggets were now hers! Amelia was asleep before we pulled out of
Grandma Furness’ driveway—but Alex managed to stay awake and talk to me until about Farmersville
when he looked at me and said “I tired”….know what you mean buddy!!
My favorite part of the weekend was taking our grandchildren to church and “showing them off” a bit.
Amelia stayed with Papa during Sunday School and was the center of attention in the Koinonia class--
I switched classes with Janis so that I could be downstairs with Alex—he had a great time playing with
Sophie and Maggie! After church we met up with Jerry and Della at DiCarlo’s then home for a nap—
because mommy and daddy were coming in later. Alex flew into their arms the minute they came
through the door but it took Amelia a second to figure out that they were there for real and not on the
computer screen! Needless to say—we had a wonderful time—the kids were so good—but this is one Grandma and Papa that knows why God gives us children while we’re young and strong!!
