Grandma K Visit

8/16/2018


Recently Grandma K from Wisconsin paid us a visit. 
Here we are together.

She had a lot of fun, especially with all of the kids.


They did chalk drawing in our kitchen. 


They played on the toy guitars, singing O Susana and other fun songs.


They played ball together...


and they blew bubbles together (along with neighbor/friend Jolene)...


and they took selfies together!


Grandma even connected with Skittles, the bird!


She gave lots of hugs, here with the littlest boys...


and here with the oldest two children.



Grandma took my oldest daughter to a movie, as a birthday present "experience."


And she brought me a beautiful wreath for my living room, as a birthday gift.


She also took a few of us out for ice cream one evening. How fun!


We tried to get one last picture before Grandma left. 
It was a circus!
I'm told I'll laugh at this someday :-) 

Glad to have you visit, Grandma! 
You are welcome anytime!

Baby Boy at Age 1

This little boy is about 13 months old. 


In this picture, he looks like he's dreaming of a far off place.


He was all smiles for his 1-year photoshoot. He had a fun time playing with the props and crawling all around the studio.



We took a few shots of him with older sister, which all turned out wonderful. 


My oldest with my youngest.


Such sweethearts!

Happy 15th Birthday!

This girl is turning 15!!


She is a delight to our family. She helps. She learns quickly. She loves to read and learn new things. She is witty and talkative. She is growing in grace and kindness. 


Happy birthday, dearest daughter!
