Hi Ho Silver

Makenna is on her way to see her cousin, Jacob. The horse is courtesy of my sister, Mary. See you soon little buddy!!!

Beep, Beep

Dave and I went to Ames for the weekend. Dave helped paint a couple more rooms. (one will be redone - not quite the right color green ;-). I mainly watched after Makenna. You say I got the easy job. Not these days - she's fun to be with, but constantly exploring now. And it doesn't take her long to get somewhere, except after she pulls herself up she thinks she can walk and lets go - you gotta be quick or else kaput!!! No fear here - or here - She was so excited to try out her Flintstone car I bought at a garage sale - varoom. However, the swing (another garage sale item- Allison has me hooked) it seemed like fun until the first push - then the tears came. Guess she isn't as big as she thinks. Bet she'll want to try again though...

Playdate

Jess brought Gabe over for a play date with Makenna. It was fun to watch them interact with each other. Makenna literally drooled all over Gabe.
Makenna is almost 8 months and Gabe is almost 4 months. Wonder what the next play date will be like?!

80th Birthday

I am a little behind getting this posted. Sorry about that, but I had to welcome a new grandson into the family May 2nd...
My mother's 80th birthday was April 27th. We had a family get-together at Robin's Wood Oven Grill on the 26th to celebrate. I created a book for her with memories that each member of the family had written. I also included family photos. My sister, Connie made her a carrot cake, which my mother thoroughly enjoyed. I think the day went well, considering my mom's apprehension at turning 80.
