Miscellany Monday

Woo, hoo!  I'm back, I'm back!  I sure did miss you but I was busy making memories with our daughter and Grandson last week.  They were here visiting during her Spring Break and we had such a delightful time.  So, guess you know that my MM will be all about those memories!

Lots of hugs........


Can we ever get enough hugs?  I think not!  Clancy is shown giving his Uncle B a big hug and then Clancy and Hanna Beth greet my Dad and step Mom at the front door for some hugs. Of course, we tried to stock up with enough to last until the next time we see them. ~smile~
 The best Poppa........

Can I just say that Hubby is the BEST Poppa!  He would just about do anything within reason and energy for our two Grans.  Clancy almost did him in a couple of days with all of the activity, but somehow Tommy kept going and making sweet memories.


 Game playing........
I enjoyed building Legos and playing Candy Land with the Grans last week.  It so much fun to watch them learn about the art of losing graciously. ~chuckle~  And, it was a real test for me to follow the instructions that come with the Legos.  I don't how in the world they expect a child to follow them when a 60 year old woman can't. ~pitiful~  Of course, they never want to just use their imagination and build something, they see something on the enclosure that they want and of course, they need a lot of help to do so.  But, we managed and learned patience in the process.
Great Poppa time......

My Dad and step Mom joined us for a family dinner last Sunday evening and we were able to get some good pictures of him with his Great Grans.  Clancy has always been the most cooperative little boy when it came to picture taking.  But, not so much anymore.  So, if we're even lucky to get his picture, it usually has a silly smile, such as the one above.  Perhaps that's a thing with 4 year olds!

Mother - Daughter time.......
Bridget and I always have a good time when we're together.  We can laugh at things that no one else would even find funny.  We make great shoppers, as we are both quick to make up our minds.  We either like it or we don't and we're ready to move on.  I enjoy her teaching me new things on my computer and IPad and just wish that we could be together so much more.  But, thankfully, she teaches school and is out for the summer and for great breaks.  We make it work.


Dressed and ready........

Here we are dressed and ready for church and of course, Clancy is doing one of his "squint eyed" poses. ~laugh~  But, sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Gave it up.........



Just before dinner one day this was the scene on the couch.  He goes full steam ahead but when he collapses, that's all she wrote.

It was a fun week and we're already looking forward to our next time together and that will likely be this summer sometime.
Families - it's one of life's greatest blessings!

  6. Lea, I loved seeing these pictures all over again. Our Big Boy only in the last year decided picture taking is not so bad after all. At 17, it dawned on him that an actual for-real smile made him look pretty handsome. So you may have a while to endure the silliness.

  10. You and your daughter look so much alike! How wonderful that you had such a happy reunion! You sound like the kind of grandparents who are fully engaged and, to me, that's what it's all about!

  13. Clancy is a typical four year old! He is very cute though. And I loved reading about you and your daughter Bridget. I don't like shopping and I'm very quick to make decisions. I think we would make good shopping buddies. :)

    Blessings and love,
    Debbie
