February Is Almost Gone!

Our best day this week was the day we got to spend some time with the three C's. My goal for the day was to get a decent updated photo of the three of them together. Let me say right now, that didn't happen! They were overjoyed, as usual, to see Papa and all of them cuddled up to him immediately.

We got to hear the latest details of their lives, a friend at school put a rock up his nose and it got stuck, they had on some special dresses that make them look like princesses, and all about the snow they had at their house earlier in the week. As usual, we laughed at some of their stories as each of the girls tried to talk at once...just like always. Chris for the most part just listened and smiled. He couldn't get a word in edgewise even if he did like to talk...which he doesn't!

I managed to get a few head shots....



The girls with their Papa..... Chris was just too busy for this picture.

More than a year ago, Chloe and Claire had a head bump incident, on Grandma's watch :( , and Chloe had to go to the dentist for some repairs. She lost one of her bottom front teeth and all this time we have been waiting for the permanent tooth to appear. It finally has, and we are all excited!

We spent some time coloring before having a Taco Bell lunch.

After lunch, Chloe had to show us how her princess dress poofs up when she sits on the heater vent. Chris thought he would try too, and of course Claire followed the fun as well. This reminded me so much of when I was a little girl, I would sit on our heater vents and read by the hour. I loved that direct heat on me.

We had a great time with the grandkids as usual, and look forward to seeing them again very soon.

Today, I went with Chris to his first full class of Sunday School as a two year old. He hasn't been super enthused (that's an understatement!) about going, and so we decided to see if I hung out too if that would help. It did, he stuck to me like glue for the first part, but eventually warmed up to the idea. I had a great time as well with the two year olds. When Claire and Chloe first started Sunday School they, too, needed some extra support and it only took maybe 4-5 times until they were comfortable. I look forward to spending this extra time with Chris and the teachers seemed very happy to have an extra adult body there. Here he enjoys his snack.





A couple of weeks back, I had a cute conversation with Chloe as I drove them to pre-school one morning, it went as follows:

Chloe: "Grandma, do you know how to call Jesus on the phone?"

Me: "No, Chloe, I don't, but you know you don't have to call Jesus on the phone, you can talk to him any time, any place!"

Chloe (with exasperation in her voice): I KNOW that Grandma, but I NEED to talk to him on the phone!"

Claire pipes in: "Chloe, you are so silly!"

I didn't ever discover what was so important that she needed to talk to him, but I do know she loves to talk on the phone. Her phone calls go on and on.....

Good-bye February and hello March this week! Hoping for some sunshine and warmer weather!
