If You Need a Laugh, Read On...

The family joke is that "no grandchild will get hurt on Ducca's watch."
After today, I have an addendum to that maxim.
"No grandchild will get cold on Ducca's watch."
Caleb is spending the day at Nana and Ducca's house today.
When I arrived home from my Bible study at about 11:00, I found Caleb all bundled up in some of Ducca's sweats. It seems that they wanted to go for a wagon ride and Caleb didn't have any warm clothes with him, so Ducca improvised.



When my children were little, I don't think I appreciated quite so much the whispered naptime questions. Here is a small sampling of Caleb's questions/comments as he was trying to fall asleep. Please imagine each one in a very quiet whisper.

"What was that noise?"
"Why are you good?"
"I'm thirsty."
"What color is your hair?"
"Was that noise Ducca?"
"It's morning. It's light."
"You're funny Nana."
"I can't see anything."
"I need my other blanket."
"I'm thirsty."
"I love you Nana."

What fun times!

What a cutie that little boy is! I can definitely understand why you had to follow him to Colorado. :-)

I think those sweats fit just perfectly! What a precious memory that will be.

Well, I think a new fashion statement has just been made. Great job, Ducca!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi

Swing High, Swing Low

Jeremy made me swings for under the deck and his boys are already enjoying them. This is Aaron's smile face. Caleb's smile face. Wee!  This is fun! Learning to hold on tight. Don't you just love his shoes? This boy loves Sesame Street characters as much as his brother loves super heroes.   Since Sweetie is here visiting, she got to enjoy the swings too.
