Grandpa's Message

Tape frame: Kitschy Digitals
Chalk is temporary. This blog is forever. (haha)
Grandpa's message: documented.

Thanks for keeping all four grandkids tonight, mom and dad. They loved sidewalk chalk, playing Beatles Rock Band, and jumping on the trampoline.

Random things to remember from today:
1. Lilly officially jumped for the first time--both feet completely off the ground.
2. I gave up on my mission to grow Ian's hair long. He got quite the cut today. His stylist (sounds funny for a four year old, yeah?) said his hair is so thick, it grows out instead of down. Oh well. He's perfect, so, short hair must be perfect too, right?

Random recommendation:

Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD.
Buy it today.
Within 2 weeks, your child just may know all his letter sounds.
Woo hoo!!! I LOVE YOU LEAP FROG!
Thank you, Sara, for the mention of it on your blog this summer that led me straight to B&N to purchase it.

What random, memorable thing happened to YOU this week?

Labor Day weekend

Breakfast on the porch at Indian Point, overlooking Tablerock Lake.
No fighting. No whining. No wrestling one another to the ground over a grape (although that may have come a few minutes later. May.), all made for Nathan capturing some amazing shots.

So much fun was had this weekend. So many laughs. SO many. I am reminded what a blast it is to be away with mom and dad.

During the trip, dad told us about a recent article citing a link between skinny hips and dying young.
Me: "Geez, I'm headed for 250."
Mom: "I'm approaching immortality."
And since the purpose of this blog is to document my life journey, that quote has made it in.

More photos from this weekend:

Here's to immortal hips, coronary burgers, and a beached Nathan at White Water.
Thanks, mom and dad. We love you.

Anything interesting you'd like to share here about your fun weekend?
