Been a little busy

-

Well we have been busy here these past couple of days, Patt has caught up on her reading, here just about to finish out all of Willy Wonka in a single morning.

 We have played games and watched this little guy grow and get stronger by the day, despite not sleeping worth a darn.  But he still is such fun - and give such wonderful smiles to you.

 Though he normally nurses, Patt got him to take a bottle and Luke can knock it back too.

 I spent a little time chasing this fun guy - who seems to be everywhere at once and has fun doing it.

 We have arbitrated some disputes over strategy AND PLAYING TIME

 Here taking a break from Bernstein Bears — did you know they got a new kitten?

 This little girl in addition to her Mom and Dad has been quite sick, but has rallied and laid out quite the store yesterday afternoon.

We got to watch a little European style football

 and have a brief sweet moment with John Paul

As mentioned Matt and Laura have been sick, but have recovered enough that last night Patt and I went out with Julianna who took this photo of Patt and me in front of our complex down by the river road.

 we of course exchanged photo posing with our oldest granddaughter

which was fun.  We were on our way to have shao-cao (which unfortunately we did not photograph).  The evening was topped off by coming home late after having ice -cream.

 However, I do believe Julianna really enjoyed discussing strategy with Grandmama as she was introduced to two suits spider solitaire.  We had a great evening
