Grandkid, grandkids, grandkid

We did get my Mom back to her home. She is doing therapy in Sullivan (about 9 miles from Lovington) and progressing well. She is also now available to my brother to chauffeur him around to various fields.......it's that time of year!

Now we are busy with grandkids. Due to some changes in plans, we are now doing a gig as William's daycare providers. He is a really good baby and we are enjoying him a great deal. He has just cut both of his bottom teeth. He loves his Papa and lights up when Thomas is talking to him. He and Papa consulted on a recent project in our kitchen. William thought the level was pretty fun.

We went to open house at the girls' school. Both did a great job introducing us to their teachers and showing us around their classrooms. Shelby shows us the proper way to carry a book. Riley is explaining an activity in her classroom to Papa and Shelby.

Both enjoyed showing us the instruments in the Music Room. We also saw the library and some of the art activities they have done already this year. The evening ended with ice cream in the gym. Riley and her friend, William, thought the ice cream was good.

Oh yes, we both celebrated birthdays in the month of September. One of my "surprise" presents was the announcement that Jennifer and Scott will present us with another grandchild in April 2007!

Long time no blog

Where does time go? Or, why does it go so quickly? All these things I was going to do this summer and...oops....summer's almost over. I did get a bit side-tracked the end of July. My Mom was here visiting and she fell and fractured her right shoulder. Well, when you are right-handed and you can't use that arm any longer, you need help. SO, we began the process of doctoring and healing and helping her dress, bath, eat, etc. Those major things you need two arms and hands for. Thank goodness she likes to read. After a week of buying books, it was off to the library to get a library card for me. Each week we have returned to set in a new supply. She's been able to spend time watching William and the girls, something she ordinarily doesn't get to do. And we've gone on a few excursions. The last couple of weeks there's been therapy to do. In fact, she is doing quite well and not even wearing her sling apparatus anymore. I'm not having helping her do things for herself either. She could actually be back home, but need to have another visit with the doc this coming week. Her 10 day vist will be close to 2 months before we finally get her back home.

This is all for this post. By the way.....happy birthday to me....tomorrow, September 4.
