More Grandkids

We are so excited.  Holly and Sam are adopting 3 darling children. A 7 year old girl, a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old boy. They are still in the "meet and greet" stage, so we haven't met them yet. There are a bunch of rules and regulations in the process. One is publishing or sending pictures, a big NO. We will not be able to put pictures on the blog,(Until the adoption is final) even so the blog will have to go private.  I am not really sure what that will entail.  Holly will help me next time she comes over.  I guess I need to know who looks at it, and if they want to continue to follow our journey. Three more to love, brings our total to 8. Which is great!

Mia Grandma Day, Finally!

We finally had our Mia Grandma Day. No sisters! She wanted to Color Easter Eggs and have an Easter Egg Hunt. That's what we did. I needed an Easter Egg Coloring Kit, so off to Albertsons we went. There were "little shopping carts" Mia also picked out the cake mix for the cupcakes. After the activities were done, we spent time reading and cuddling. What fun!

Finally Finished

I finally got the "Big" girl and "Big" Boy quilts finished. Brad had been making Kyles Big Boy Bed, and Kyle will have one of Grandma's "Magic Quilts" to sleep with it. I got a train pattern fabric because of all the amazing toy trains Brad has made, and are in Kyles bedroom.

Mia's "animal name" is Mingo, short for flamingo. I was so excited to find flamingo fabric. Mia has been in a big girl bed for ever, the "Magic" Blanket, will help her sleep through the night in her own bed ... maybe! I sure love these little cutie pies. They seem all of a sudden grown up. The plan was to have the quilts finished by their first birthdays. Well, they will turn 3 in June, so not to bad. I better get started on Joshua's now!

Adventure with Kyle

Grandma and Kyle had their first away from Grandmas House Adventure. We went to the La Habra Childrens Museum. They had buttons to push, Busses to drive, drums to pound on. Everything a little boy loves. We had a fun time. Will go again soon.

Special Days with Special Girls

On our Nora Grandma Day, Nora learned how to weave hot pads. She does a great job. I am looking forward to my hot pad stash being replenished.

Sara got to choose a new Barbie for the Barbie House. She spent a lot of time setting it up just right. Always fun to have them come and play.

Just trying to get a picture

All I was trlying to do was get a picture of all five on the glider, looking at Grandma and smiling!

I will keep trying!

Happy Valentines Day

This was the Valentines "Surprise" we got from our granddaughters. Mia told me they had a surprise in the car. The child can not keep a secret. This was so special. It took a lot of time and work and Grandma and Grandpa love you too!
