These caped 3 year olds came in to give grandma some fun... it was dress up time!
The shades come down and the sword comes out and the smiles all around...
Now Romeo appears like a little hooded creature to add to the specialness. Cute alert! Both of the toddlers are so sweet and loving and I got to hold Dominic while we watched Cinderella this afternoon. The call came from John - all is well for another year - "My brain is pristine!"
The girls having fun with dress up! The kids are having a blast with their cousins and that is helping them with the big transition that we all are going through right now... all of us are moving and finding new homes at once!
Time to head out to the museum!
police museum...
Always cute Romeo is there to make me smile... he is wearing a stocking cap that I wore when I was pregnant with his mother over 32 years ago! He is adorable!
This little guy gives me a lot of soft loving looks and smiles and waves bye-by when he heads for naps or bed for the night.
Patrick is loving and put his arms around the two little boys - "You are my friends."
This guy is very sweet snuggly and loving... Many snuggles from this cute little Patrick while grandma is here.
A watercolor appeared in the laundry room - a painting I did for Maria's graduation from a children's book adding a photo of little Maria holding onto her blanket on the clothesline.
Another painting of mine from Maria's birthday years back... also from a children's book adding our cabin on Lake Michigan, and Maria in her swim team suit.
The 7 settled in for a movie - Cinderella - "You must have courage and be kind."
The black and white row of kids on a cold winter's day!
Now they are munching on crackers, so it is a different, right? Well, grandmas are entitled to take many in varying forms especially when they are in a peaceful row and not moving, battling with light savers, pushing strollers, dressing up in costumes, eating meals or sitting there staring at their plate of food, running back and forth, screaming at the top of their lungs, or any combination of the listed activities... We appreciate each moment together and when all is well for that moment we are eternally grateful and thank the Lord. We are most thankful this evening for another year cancer free - 6 years now! Here is what John wrote after seeing his two doctors today - "Mayo clinic visit today is a big win. Another year cancer free! 6 years and counting. Thanks for any any and all prayers."
Bless-bless, Barb
I am sure getting to know this wonderful young boy, and he is so sweet and loving to be around! I love you my Patrick!
And I am really missing this guy.. he sure would love to be here holding a couple of his grandsons and granddaughters for that matter!
Such a great picture... I had to borrow it from Maria's blog - it is so nice to have this time with them!
