Lydia Rides Again

Here is a short video clip of Lydia - my only girl Grandchild riding her bike without her training wheels.
Aren't Grandkids fun.

Spring Creek Outing

We spent the day at the Coast today and the weather was GREAT! Wanted to share a few pictures from the day. Shawn had his boat so I didn't get any pictures of him. The only good fish was caught by Stephen = it was a nice red fish.

Football is Here!

I can not believe it is that time of year already. FOOTBALL MEANS HUSBAND GLUED TO THE TUBE. We watched the FSU game today and it was better than last week. Harry complains non stop about the play calling, the players and everything else but the bottom line is this -only the score gets posted in the record book. I sometimes sit and read while watching the game to keep from going nuts. We are going to two games this year out of town at Georgia Tech and Maryland. The last time we went to Maryland we almost froze to death. Talk about cold - we were so desperate we bought Maryland skull caps for our unprotected little heads. Then we left at half time and were thrilled to walk the mile and a half home. My brother and sister in law are going to the Tech game and Harry's brother and sis in law to Maryland. We will drive to Tech and fly to Baltimore. We are going out of Jacksonville to save some serious bucks. Will tell you all about it when we return. Hope FSU wins, it is a bummer when you travel and lose. Yuck.

Three of the Grandkids are back to school. Lydia is in kindergarten and could really teach the class. She has that late November birthday - born on Thanksgiving so she is very ready for the big stuff. Stephen is four and in Pre-K. He reminds me a lot of Shawn in that the teachers always would say - Mrs. Herman - we love Shawn....but..... Sitting down and being still does not come easy for boys. This is Hunter's first experience with any kind of school or outside the womb care at all. He has been kept by Grandparents so we were kind of apprehensive how he would react. He is doing GREAT! So far the teacher says he gets better every day. Noah is still home with Lisa and Jay is still tolerating the GrandMa's. I have three days a week with only Jay - Hunter comes in at lunch time and Jason' Mom keeps them Tuesdays and Thursday's most weeks. Three half days with one is great. I am helping with taking Lydia to her ballet class and planning to visit and observe Stephen's Ty Kwan Do. Life is busy and full.
I did a little decorating for Halloween. Would love to hear of some ideas everyone has for unique decorating.

Have a happy HALLOWEEN, LETS ALL POST PICTURE OF THE KIDS IN COSTUME! Jennifer always sends the most original with her dogs all dressed up. She is very creative.

Oh - one more thought - My Mother turns 84 October 24th. She loves to get mail.
