Being with our grandchildren while their Mommy and Daddy had a little getaway


-Colouring with the grandchildren. The ideas they put on paper are fantastic!


-Catie sitting on her Nona's stoop while eating her dried cranberries.


-Cameron napping on the couch after being ill, so pale and tired.


-Sneaking in an covering up all of the children as they slept.


-Bringing Caroline to bed in the early a.m., and her falling back to asleep on my chest.


-Catie deciding that she too needed to wear tights, under her pants.


-Carly singing to me.


-Big hugs from Claire.


-The children singing Happy Birthday to Pappa when he came down for breakfast.


Remembering with love both Amy and Cathy on their birthdays too!


Taking Cameron, Claire and Carly to church.


Their finding the hymn numbers and singing along.


Their high 5-ing the Pastor as they left the Sanctuary.


Eating at the Cloverdale McDonalds, the same one we used to take our kids to.


Watching the rain come down in torrents.


Falling fast asleep on our couch on Sunday afternoon when we got home!

Looks like you had a wonderful birthday/Thanksgiving celebration! I am SO kicking myself for not taking pictures of my table now!

Mom, what a wonderful blog about Abby's birthday! I still remember that day clear as a bell. And I still have your crossword/puzzle page which you saved for me. It will be added into Abby's babybook!
Abby is so loved by you, Papa and our family.
XOXO

Love the photos of your 24 hour Adventure at Casa Empey! The kids must have been so sad to have Papa & Nanny go!
Hmmm..it seems Cameron and 'K' always sit together! :-)

Hi one and all. Taking pictures at a dinner, can be imposing, and inconvenient, but after all is said and done, almost always worth it! It was a beautiful day.

As for the kids being sad when we left, well I think probably they were more delighted to have mommy and daddy home-all is right in the universe then!
