I Think I Fell Off the Edge of the Earth…🤣🤣🤣

Or Maybe We’ve Been Family Focused!

Our fifth grandson arrived a little early (about two weeks, acc. to our expectations). So we hurriedly packed overnight bags and went off to our daughter’s to help out with her two other young sons. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, but, wow! We’re reminded there’s a reason God doesn’t generally give children to older people! 🤪

We played water squirt guns, (the three-yr-old got real ingenious and pulled out the soaker and got Poppy really good!) Super Heroes ( “You have to take turns with Superman, guys! I’ll set the timer on my watch.”) and dinosaurs and dragons got mixed in there, too! We chalked the sidewalk and, inadvertently, the dog.

We went to the park where the 3-yr-old convinced Poppy that going down the slides wasn’t just for kids!🤣

And just generally spent time together.

We stayed for several days and came home exhausted!

We were thrilled to go to our home church for Easter ( we had been away for the winter, then at our daughter’s the previous 3 weeks). And we went back to their house for Easter with the boys.

We got to meet our son’s fiancé’s parents the day before. They are neat people and had interesting stories about their jobs and lives in the UP.

We are still missing our Southern daughter and her family, but we were able to rent a house for three months this winter in their hometown. Lots of Grand time then! They took some great pics on Easter!

Now it is back to the birds and books for me ( I just put out grape jelly so I don’t miss the first orioles). I am reading like mad, the posts will start very soon! And hubby went golfing today, the first day the local golf course opened. And, of course, we are contemplating going back to work! 😔

Anywho, just in case you wondered why I haven’t been posting, switching homes and then the baby’s birth caused me to leave a lot of time open in my calendar for family and necessary transition. I still need to schedule in time to see my mom, too. She’s always happy to see us, though she doesn’t know our relationship to her. Just that we love her and vice versa.

Have a great weekend. See you with a bookish post again soon!
