niko

Niko feels right at home and wanders all over the house. This morning he found the window between the dining room and the kitchen. He sat there for a while watching us as we worked in the kitchen. He likes to be petted and he likes to groom you back by licking any patch of […]

grandpa’s pancakes preferred by toddlers 2 to 0

This morning, the twins tried Grandpa’s famous pancakes for the first time. Yes! Complete approval and instant favorite! I hear them stirring from their morning nap…will be time to get them up soon. They are being so good. They have a pretty regular schedule. Get up, eat, play, nap, get up, eat, play, nap, get […]

our older son’s wedding

Our son and his fiancee were married on Saturday. The wedding was planned for the rose garden, but morning rain sent us indoors. Afterward, the ground was dry enough for picture taking in the gardens. We have also been having a look at the best wedding car hire options for the UK recently as we are […]

baby bath

I bathed the babies while their Mommy worked on other things. Baby Einstein Poofy? Who’s Poofy? ~~Grandma 🙂

happy babies

The girls are sleeping right now. DH is at the store getting groceries. I am taking the opportunity to catch up on a few computer items. I posted the week’s article to the Christmas Notebook and uploaded more pictures. I’ll be doing a lot of uploading this week, I’m sure. The girls were glad to […]

visiting the grands

While we are here for our son’s wedding, we get to spend a lot of time with our granddaughters. It has been almost four months since we saw them last. They have grown and changed a lot since then. She must have one of her ten year old aunt’s genes…we had lots of baby books […]

niko has a new friend

But this morning, Zak sauntered in. Zak ate from Niko’s bowl, while Niko watched and they were on Niko’s […]

niko

I’m listening to lots of hammering as the new floor goes down. It feels great to just sit back and wait before I have to do anything else in the addition. I thought I’d post a few more pictures of our new kitty, Niko. He is still staying mainly in DD#2’s room/bath (by his own […]

apple pickin’

Last Saturday (seems like weeks ago) we went to the orchard with our son and his wife. It felt great to leave town for a while, getting away from the remodeling work. It waited for us, no problem… She’s twittering. 🙂 The trees were loaded… …and the apples were beautiful… …not to mention delicious. The […]

I think he likes it…

Niko came downstairs late last night to check out the paint colors for the laundry room. He’s very curious! So far, he hasn’t picked up any new fur colors. ~~Rhonda ::still painting::
