Being Grandparents
Last night Emma and Braden came over and we watched them while Aleesa and Jake went to dinner. What a riot! They love to play and find joy in the most simple things. they have also found things we didn't even know we had.
Braden can sniff out candy wherever it is! It makes me laugh. We have a candy machine downstairs and Emma and Braden love to get pennies to put in the machine. Looks like we'll always have to keep it filled.
Emma was looking at an art book by James Christensen and she thought some of the people were ugly. I said, "you better not tell the artist." Then she showed me a painting where the man had funny shoes on and I told her they looked funny and what did she immediately reply? "You better not tell the artist." I laughed so hard.
Last week we took them to the zoo and what an adventure! We enjoyed every minute! Then the next day they came over to our house and played outside almost the whole day. They love the trampoline and playing in the pond. They filled up buckets with water for Dane and even fished in the pond. Dane took the fish out and they liked to touch them.
Grandchildren are such a joy!

This is all new to me
Well, here we go! Dane is in a play, I'm on crutches, Aleesa and Jake are empty nesters for the summer, and Tia is working at Hogle Zoo. Our dogs, Kase and Tassa, keep us company and love to be in the yard with Dane.
This is a trial run and hopefully, I'll keep it up!
