Dinner and mall walking with my favorite family :)

Pictures from the day (before) the ice storm...

MLK weekend~

Sweet dreams sweet angel.. :)

This was totally not set up.. this was the thinking position assumed each time. Thanks for your vantage point though, Melissa.

Marissa's handiwork on dessert. Ryan may have helped..

Burt needed a high power flashlight to see the password. Not me, though. :)

Could she be any cuter?

Marissa (and Hazel :) finish a floor puzzle.

Beautiful walk!

This may be my favorite picture . Enlarge it and look at the Ollinator.

Nana and her roommate..:)

Wow. All of the residents are confined to their rooms for now because the flu is making the rounds at the nursing home. Yesterday I spent two and a half hours engaged in conversation with these two. While a very cute pair, this makes my conversations with my pre-schoolers seem almost ... sensible. On my way out, I told my favorite nurse that I just had the most bizarre conversation. Her response was.. "Oh yeah? Stick around." *maniacal laugh*

One must maintain a sense of humor with children, and people with dementia. I repeat, wow.

Quite a Christmas gift!

We got a gift of a Hot Air Balloon ride in New Hampshire, followed by a champaigne celebration and and picnic!! I was just on the website, and I CAN'T wait!! I have always wanted to do this!

Thank you Katelyn, Tom, Laura and Edouard!!

The cute factor is overwhelming :)

Our best wishes for a happy, and healthy, New Year!

So nice to have L home!!

The cat climber also serves as a very nice playground for the critters :)

Hazel is crawling like a "HUGE DINOSAUR!" - "Come on Grammy, crawl!" I will not post the picture that Ryan kindly took of me crawling down the hall.

Happy Birthday, Auntie Laura!!

Sweet Hazel :)

This is what I saw after saying good-byes to Katie:)

R is holding up the fort nicely while Melissa is in Ireland :)
