When everything else fails, our dog makes us happy.

Last month we celebrated Easter. Sorry to say the Easter bunny did not come to ur house though. I guess we just had not been good enough. But our grandchildren were visited. Of course they were very good and prepared for him. Here is a layout of Julia and Oliver coloring eggs for an Easter egg hunt. Good job!

This is Robin, one of my very good friends who moved to Florida years ago. This sweet little one is Ellie, Robin's first grand child.

This is Pat. He is our granddaughter Lauren's husband and he was celebrating his birthday. It often takes me a long time to get around to making layouts these days. This was taken on April 25. Happy belated Birthday Pat.

Again I say, it is good to have Ashley home for the summer, well not here, but to her home with her brothers. These pictures were taken when she was home for spring break. She and Mason dressed in three different costumes on the three different days of the Middle Tennessee Anime convention.

Having made the decision for Ava to get her ears pierced, they went to the Piercing Pagoda. The dicision however had been much easier to make than actually doing it. While there, she was very fearful, that fear turned to pain and tears. Yet when it was done, it all turned to joy when she saw that she was now wearing earrings, like the big girls.

I'm glad Beth thought of this. It is a blessing to compare these sweet grandchildren to the ones we remember 6 years ago. The time has gone so quickly. Soon they will be married and have children of their own...no! I can't think like that! We must be allowed to experience and ejoy every single year, month, day! Looking forward to seeing them in person again this summer. Oh the joy!!!
