Claire Gathering Candy From the Sky

Fun, Fun, Fun! The Harward Reunion had so much of everthing, including food, adorable children, Birthday Cake for ME, and all of my siblings and grandkids to share it with. It was fabulous! This is a picture of Claire gathering up candy and handing it to her mommy as fast as she could after the pinata was successful smashed and the scene of glorious candy falling from the sky. What more could you ask for?

Grandpa with his sidekick Claire

Isn't she one of the most beautiful red headed little angels you have ever seen? Claire is here hangin' out with Grandpa and pulling grapes off of the vines so that her mommy can make a scrumptious grape salad to take to the Harward Reunion. I think that she pulled them off as fast as Grandpa did and slipped a few in her mouth as well. With all of the Aunts and Uncles that she has at our house, she is one very loved and adored little girls and rarely has a moment where someone doesn't want to hold her or play with her. We LOVE you Claire.

I'm Bored. .. How Come I Can't Hit The Pinata?

Linus is such a little sweetie. He was so good all day long. Grandpa absolutely loves this "little man" and will hold him forever and cradle him in his arms where Linus is so content. He loves to pull on my hair while I hold him and I actually love that about him. It shows me that he is comforted. I know that he does that with his mom and that is how I know that he is comforted when he does that with me. He is such a sweetheart and most generally very content. He is so very loved at Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Richard the RockClimber

Richard came down over the Memorial Holiday and took a couple of the brothers and one sister, Michael and Ethan and Sarah, along with Abby to go climbing. Unfortunately they had to deal with inclement weather which as you can imagine would be hard for anyone to climb with but especially the Lead Climber. He is so generous and patient, but most importantly incredibly talented. I know that I don't have to worry about him or my other kids who are with him because he will not make a bad judgement call but they will always have a great time. They also made it to the Harward Reunion, which we were happy to see them, and I know Richard's little family was really excited to see him.

Grandma and Grandpa with the Little Angels

These are my beautiful babies. Claire is almost 3 years old. She has the most beautiful red hair that people often stop and look twice. Linus is almost 7 months old and even though he was born with dark hair, it looks like he's going to be a blonde haired, blue-eyed boy. I love them so much and they bring me so much happiness when I am with them. Everyone thinks they have the best grandbabies, but I am SURE I do.
