Niko prefers running water to the water dish. We bought a kitty fountain for him and all the cats love it. He hasn’t asked for water from the sink for a long time. I guess he thought it was a nice change of pace. ~~Rhonda 🙂
It was quite a weekend for DD. She turned eleven on Friday at 8:01 a.m. 🙂 Off to school with cupcakes, then after school prep for her birthday party sleepover. We rearranged the library furniture, set out all the snacks, and rented a few movies. At suppertime, DD opened the box that came in the […]
DD just finished basketball and is now happily playing volleyball. Last night she served for ten points in one game. She’s our most athletically inclined child. Three of our four older children participated in soccer and volleyball, but DD can’t get enough. She would like to be on every team available. 🙂 ~~Rhonda
Buttercup’s favorite winter napping spot is on the heating vent in the kitchen. She was totally asleep when I took the picture. ~~Rhonda
This morning, we woke to a beautiful blanket of snow. It fell all morning. I’m guessing we have about three inches. Up at 7:00…no school, yeah!…out the door at 7:15. The babies were duly bundled and taken out on the deck to see the snow. With Auntie holding her, Twin#1 was brave enough to check […]
The girlies had fun racing the length of the rug (with the help of Auntie and Grandpa). After their pushers quit on them, they tried it themselves. This works, too! Stack ’em high, stack ’em tall… DD#1 arrived today to visit/help with the grands. So glad to see her! ~~Rhonda 🙂
Is this not the cutest blue-eyed baby around? Of course, then there’s this cutest blue-eyed baby… For the next few days, I get to squeeze ’em and love on ’em all I want. ~~Grandma 🙂
We’re taking it easy this week. Having fun and not hurrying to or from anything. One evening, after we’d had a late lunch, we decided to have a late, picnic-style supper. We went to Whole Foods to buy cheeses, crostini, shrimp, pasta, sushi, etc. So good! And Whole Foods is just plain fun to walk […]
After four children who ranged from extremely picky to rather picky eaters, it is still a surprise when our ten year old daughter is happy to try something new. Tonight it was oysters Rockefeller. She loved it, though she preferred her broiled shrimp. 🙂 While we waited for dinner, a young man named Shawn came […]
On New Year’s Eve DD and I stayed up till midnight, watching movies and having snacks. 🙂 At midnight DH joined us to pull crackers. DD tried all the toys… A few days later, Niko joined her as she practiced guitar. Niko picks his own cuddle time. Sometimes he’s in the mood, sometimes he’s not. […]
