Bella

"Little girls are the nicest things that happen to people."

On Thursday morning, my great nice, Bella came to play with the girls. Cali is 4 months older, so they got along just fine. Chloe is the big sister, so she likes to be in charge. She was so good at getting toys for Bella to play with. We hope that Bella soon comes to play again!

Cookies

"Savor the moments that are warm and special and giggly." Sammy David Jr.

Chloe loves taking care of her PopPop. Everyday she needs to check on him and see if he needs anything. She loves making him cookies, which she has been doing alot of lately. We bought the kind that are already made and the only thing you need to do is put them in the oven. These had pumpkin faces on. The next time she wants the ones with the ghosts on. In the afternoon, she decided that she wanted to take her nap with PopPop, to keep him warm. She slept so close to him, that he could hardly move! I think it was the best nap he had in a long time!!

Grandparents Day

"A boy is a magical creature - you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. " Allen Beck

On Friday, Carter's class honored all of the grandparents. We went to their room, met their teacher and saw all of the things they were working on. Carter read to us, Frog and Toad, and did a great job. They had a chart of their favorite things. Some of them I knew, food-pizza, sport-soccer, but I didn't know that he wants to be a cop when he grows up! Let's hope he changes his mind on that one.

We went to the auditorium for some entertainment and refreshments. All the grandparents were presented with mums. It was an entertaining morning and we thank Carter, his class and teacher for taking the time to honor us.

I didn't think we could take pictures, so I didn't take my camera. There were other grandparents there taking picutres, so I guess it was ok. I wish I would have a pictures to post of Carter on stage. He is a HAM!

Wrestling Camp

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family." Anthony Brandt

This summer 3 of my great nephews from Long Island came to the Wrestling Camp in Middleburg. Every day they went along with Cole and Carter. This isn't an easy sport for kids, especially in the heat of the summer. They all stuck with it and hopefully learned alot of new moves.

Cooling Off

"It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you become one." unknown

Gracie and Samuel also love the pool. The cool water didn't seem to phase them one bit. PopPop has the best time in the pool with the kids. Next year, Camryn will be in with him.

Pink

"Pink isn't just a color, it's an attitude."

Sugar & Spice?

"Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice. Bethany Hamilton

Chloe seems to have talents in many things. Having 2 big brothers and a soccer coach for a dad, means she has to be tough. She can be a princess off the field, but on the field, that's a different story.
