Driving At Grandma Ida's

Grandma Ida thought it would be fun to buy these cars for the grandkids.  If you buy one of these, just make sure you have plenty of room for the kids to drive them or else count on alot of "accidents."

Berkley has one of these herself, so she was an experienced driver.

Joshua and Berkley look like they're going out on a date.

Neal was on accident repair patrol.

One accident out of about fifty.

Miriam wasn't brave enough to try driving and Seamus couldn't
wait until he was old enough.

A Visit From the Grandkids

Melissa and her two kids came for a visit on February 1st.  It seemed like a whirlwind visit.  Gregg was working around the clock and Melissa was trying to get some work done while she was here and I was trying to keep to kids entertained, which was exhausting because I'm not used to it.

I wish they would move here because the kids seem to grow up so much inbetween visits.  We did get to get all the grandkids together which was fun, however, it truely makes me feel my age and the effects of EDS.

Berkley and Miriam were best of friends

Trying to get these girls to hold still for a picture was impossible

Seamus was excited to be there too.

Joshua is growing up so fast.  He'll be 5 yrs. old in April.

Grandpa and Seamus have look alike hairdos.

Miriam is still always on the go.  Nothing scares her.  She looks a little
like Melissa here.

This is the only picture I could get with all four together.
It was too much to hope to have everyone look at the
camera at the same time.

Tried to fly kites without a breath of wind in the air.

Berkley bought sunglasses for all the kids to wear.
