Mine plus three

My niece and her husband are heading to Cancun for a wonderful week alone and I get the honor of watching 3 of their 4 children. They are such wonderful kids, I may not give them back!!!!!!! Today is day 1 and we went swimming, played and made chocolate chip cookies(pictures to follow soon)!

Isabelle is playing peek-a-boo! She cracks me up!

Haley and Danielle get along great and had so much fun swimming!

Bed Head

Peter has the best head of hair. Every morning he wakes up and comes down the stairs
in almost Kramer (from Seinfeld) fashion. It is always crazy and cracks me up. He just
looks at me and says "whaaaat??????????????"
Oh to be young and not really care what your hair looks like!

Three generations

My mother is spending a few weeks with us and yesterday we decided to set up a nail shop. We gave ourselves pedicures, and put really cool stickers on our toes and also manicures. I love these pictures. The young feet, the getting old feet and the tired older feet each different but so much the same. I look at my mama's feet and it makes me sad to see them so tired and understandably so, they have been through a life of walking to school, church, store anywhere when she was young. They carried her when she was pregnant with all 3 of her daughters. They held her up when she worked long hard hours at Beech and now they have learned to move, walk and support her all over again since her stroke. We take so many things for granted. I watched my mom one day be able to do whatever she wanted to the next instant not being able to stand or walk and support herself. She is so strong and has come so far since April 1st. I am thankful for her, her strength and her love. God truely blessed me with an incredible momma! I love you momma!

My nephew got married over the weekend. Here is a picture of Neto and his mom, dad, sister and her family, Granny (in the pink), my mom(his grandma) and his other grandma(in the blue). Granny is 98 and is just amazing.

green beans

Grandma is spending a couple of weeks with us. She brought a large bag of home-grown green beans, zucchini and squash. The kids snapped the beans today with Grandma. This was something they had never done and found it quite fascinating. I love watching the kids learn from their Grandma. She has had so many health problems here lately and I am so thankful to have her here with us.

Robbie

What a joy this young man is. The wedding ceremony(Miss Cerritelli's wedding) was a challenge due to it being outside, bugs and those darn flip-flops that I made him wear (never again)! He did however make it to the reception and what fun we did have. The food was great, especially the candy table and oh yes "cheeeeeese" (Robbie's favorite) and the dancing was so much fun. How rare it is today to have a 15 year old boy who enjoys dancing with the younger kids and even his mom. He is such a blessing to me. I love him so much and am so proud of him and who he is!
