School Days, School Days

-
I think you learn how to be a grandparent with your
first grandchild. All the grandchildren that follow get
to benefit from the lessons you learn from the first.
What David and I have learned is that being grandparents
is one of the greatest joys in life and each new age and
stage bring even greater joys.
We were lucky enough that we got to take Caleb to pre-school
this morning. How did this little man grow so big
so quickly? Thought you might like to hear the
"leaving for school" conversation.
Ducca: I'll be your bus driver, Caleb.
Caleb: Good. Hi Mr. Busdriver.
Nana: Have a good day at school Caleb.
Caleb: I will (spoken with great excitement). Have a good day Grandma!

Grandma???? I'm Nana!!!
He's never called me Grandma a day in his life.
It sounded so cute, like he had learned "Grandma" at school.
And you know what? Grandma--Nana!
Whatever these precious boys decide to call me,
I'm fine with it.

If this is really the case, I'm sure my Dad could help Caleb think of some fun things to call you! :)

Can't wait for next summer to get here!!

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.
