Kids' Night With Us

Evan, Josh, and Kori came over this evening for a few hours while their Mommy and Daddy went out to eat. Kori drew houses with sidewalk chalk. Evan played cars and rode his big wheel. Josh rode his big wheel that our neighbors Dick and Kathy gave to us. Kori asked to have Smores. So, Pappy built the fire and all of us had Smores. Then, it was bathtime and shower time for the kiddos. After that, Evan asked for a cookie. So, all three kids sat at the table and had a cookie and chocolate milk. We watched Wonder Pets and read books. Kori worked on the computer, too. I love the photo of Evan eating his Smore. In the other photo, it looks like Pappy G may need a bigger rocking chair for all of his grandchildren. I just love being a Grammie. I am so glad to hear that the children are excited to come to our house.

A Very Special Day

We have been waiting for this day for a long time. Our daughter and son-in-law officially adopted 2 children they have had for 2 1/2 years in their care. We now our forever Grammie and Pappy to our forever grandchildren Josh and Kori. We are so thankful that we could be at the court proceedings. It was a joyous day!!! Josh and Kori have been a part of our family since April 2008, however, it is now legal and official. And..... I can finally post pictures of them. Enjoy!!!!!! Thank you to our God for the wonderful addition to our family!!!!!

Outside Playtime

After dinner on Friday, Pappy G took Evan for a wagon ride. This is a wagon that Evan's Mommy and his Uncle Zach rode in. Evan really enjoys riding in the wagon.

Evan in the Big Bed

Evan and I played a game of pretending to take a nap in the big bed. I wanted to see how he would react to a big bed. Evan loved the glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. He asked for his blankie and rested in the bed for a few minutes. It was too cute. He will soon be transitioning from his crib at his house.

Evan and Pappy G

Last night Evan wanted Pappy G to put him to bed. Well, I noticed Evan sitting up longer than he usually does. I realized Pappy G did not turn on his moving fish light. I tried to sneak in Evan's room and turn on the fish light. Of course, Evan saw me. He stood up in his crib and said, "Up pease." I just had to get him up. This was at 9:00pm. I told Evan, "It is night night time. You will have to sit." Evan wanted to sit and rock with Pappy G. Evan now calls his grandpa Pappy G and not just Pappy. I had to take this precious photo of Evan cuddling with his Pappy G. Evan just sat and cuddled for about 15 minutes. Then Pappy G said, "Let's go find your blankie and doggy." Evan went right to sleep in his crib.

Evan on the Computer

I have been working with Evan at Fisher Price infant games on the computer for many, many months. I took a chance today of letting him do it by himself. All he has to do is touch any key. I, however, told him to only touch the space bar. Evan did very well. He has asked to do the zoo twice this morning and has done it by himself (with my watching him).

A funny remark: Evan asked "Where is Pappy G at? I said, "He is at work." Evan responded with "Sorry." Too precious.

Last Weekend

We had a wonderful family get together last weekend. Evan loved seeing his Aunt Laurie and Uncle Zach. All week he has been asking Where Zach at? Where Laurie at? I told him they went home on an airplane. So, every time Evan sees an airplane, he says, " Airplane, Zach." or "Airplane, Laurie." These two photos were taken at Evan's house just before we took Zach and Laurie to the Detroit airport.
