Jack-O-Lantern

I bought a pumpkin so that when the kids were here they could make their FIRST JACK-O-LANTERN. I just KNEW their Papa would really get into it too!! Here is the pumkpin carving series.

Norah on the Slide

Norah was amazingly brave on the slide at our playground. She learned how to make herself "GO" all by herself. Here is a little video showing how she just kind of stiffened her body to make her go down. Papa was quick on the catch at the safety guard!'

Pictures Together

I have found it is quite difficult to get a good picture of myself with BOTH of my grandchildren. For some reason they are "squirmy" and not interested in posing! Here are a couple of pretty good ones...........I will post the less successful attempts later!

Bracelet made with love by Grandma Karen

I made this little bracelet for Norah for her 1st birthday. It was a little difficult getting a picture of it on her wrist.......she seemed to think it was a teething ring!!

A Pictorial Story of a 1 Year old & Her Birthday Cake!

My Granddaughter, Norah is 1 year old already! This is the story of how she enjoyed her special birthday cake. It was pretty much the first time she had tasted sweets!

On the surfing beach

Relaxing at the end of the day

Alissa and Dan invited me to spend the weekend with them in Westport (a small town on the Pacific Ocean). I had a wonderful time. We relaxed, walked the beach, explored the town, watched the surfers, went to a small casino (Shoalwater), swam, ate, played games and enjoyed each other's company.

Thanks Alissa and Dan for including me in your weekend.
