Long Week

 We ended our week with Far Guys infusion and my PT appointment.  The therapist says he noticed improvement so I must have done something right! 

I may stay in my jammies all day on Saturday!  Next week we do not have five medical appointments..only two possibly three. 

I got to see the Great Grandchildren on Wednesday evening.

Baby K is growing and they say she smiles!  I got to hold her and save her from Peach...who doesn't yet understand what gentle means.  (Think eyes, nose and mouth a favorite game I play with her.)

Hey Mikey, Peach and Cee Cee

The big kids started school.  Hey Mikey is in Grade 3 and Cee Cee is in Kindergarten.

 

Here they are on the first day of school...all smiles!

Oh baby

 Our newest Great grandchild Baby K visits us often. She gained a pound and one ounce in the week after her tongue tied release procedure. She weighs 8 lbs and 3 ounces now..she will be a month old in a few days. She is just a little peanut.

However she has a big voice and has what I call a short fuse. When she is hungry she wants her bottle now if not sooner.

She did not want to burp! She is not an easy kid to burp. 

Less upset but still needed to burp!

Oh did she smell good after her bath…we could hear her screaming through out her bath…then she slept.

Fun to be a part of her first month.

Saturday

 The Great Grandchildren came over to enjoy the pool.  I talked them into a quick photo before heading out to swim. They had a blast in the pool! Baby K stayed home napping with her Dad.

 There are some smiles to brighten up your day.

As a Retired United States Air Force/Air National Guard Family we pray for safety for all of our Armed Services and the missions that they were sent on last evening.

Best parts of last week

 We got to hold our newest Great Granddaughter when she was a week old, and got to visit with her Mama.  Baby K may end up being known as Klark...as that is what a number of people called her prior to her birth.

Behind her is the blanket I crocheted for her last Winter.   She slept the entire time we were there!   She has her own look.  I cannot truthfully say that she looks like anyone else... just herself.  We are blessed to have her in our family!

Great Grandson Hey Mikey's dog Sam.

She is a beauty who loves attention...I could have pet/scratched her all day. 

And of course Sadie smiling, she was overjoyed to see us on Friday.

Sunday in Minnesota:  High 57F or 14C Low 48F or 9C.  It spit rain most of the day, not sure if we even got an inch.  It was smoky in the morning but it cleared up a bit in the afternoon.  We went out to lupper at our fav Sunday spot in the mid afternoon...I came home and had a four hour nap.

Welcome Baby K

 On Friday evening our newest Great Granddaughter was born.  She was a May baby instead of a June baby.  She and her Mom are both doing well. 

I got to visit her via facetime shortly after she was born. 

She is a blessing!  We are looking forward to holding her soon!  

She is the fourth child for our Granddaughter Maddie and her husband Brenton. 

How about that...we are Great again!

Tomato Update

 The tomatoes are surviving! 

The Patio tomato.

The Yellow Pear and the Cherry tomatoes in the sheep tank.  The old dog kennel works great to keep the deer out!

Far Guy will put some tomato cages up and wires for support soon before they get too tall.

They are standing nice and tall and not flopped over anymore:)

Thursday we had a nice visit and supper with Jen, Maddie, Benton, Hey Mikey, Cee Cee, Peach and Sadie.  We had pizza and breadsticks...those kids all like Ranch with their pizza. 

Minnesota weather High : 81 F or 28 C  Low 56 C or 14 C eh.

Far Guy had his infusion on Friday this week.  I picked up groceries and went to the bank. I finally made it through round one of lawn mowing. We are supposed to get heavy wildfire smoke this weekend.  Supper was Chicken Salad sandwiches and raspberries.  Clean up was easy!

Trolls

 Jen took Maddie, Hey Mikey and Cee Cee on an adventure! 

In a nearby town there is International Recycling Art by Thomas Dambo.  There is a treasure hunt and a map to find all the trolls.   It is a wonderful way to get out and hike to different areas and see something different. 

Maddie and Jen sent some photos! 

It was a great adventure, the great grandkids didn't think the Trolls would be so big!  

Yesterday was very warm again  91 F or 33 C and gale force winds all day.   I did some things in the morning but napped and crocheted the afternoon away inside in the AC. 

Supper was BLT's and peaches.

The Greats

 Our three Great Grandchildren were at Noah's wedding.  

Here they are enjoying the three wheeled coffee cart/bike at the coffeeshop.  Yes they figured out how to ring the bell too!   Hey Mikey is almost eight, Cee Cee is five and Peach is a few months shy of the terrible twos.

Now that we are moved back to the woods we will miss seeing them.

The Greats

 We spent some time with our Great Grandchildren better known as the Greats.

Peach are you supposed to be climbing stairs all by yourself?

Cee Cee did you know your socks don't match? 

Sisters both smiling!

All together...everyone smile. They have lots of energy...more energy than the old folks. 

Far Side

A smile

 This may make you smile. 

Someone was a pill when it was time to take photos.  These are our Great Grandchildren growing taller every day.  That is Peach being a pill. 

We will be seeing more of these children, by the time you read this we should be Up North for the worst of the Winter weather.   Hopefully we are all settled in by now and Sadie is keeping track of us!

This was the snow that delayed our departure by a day, the roads were crappy for traveling, and we traveled in between storms.

Great Blessings

 We are going to be Great Grandparents again! 

We are truly blessed. 

 Our three GREATS will become four!  He or she will join Hey Mikey, Cee Cee and Peach sometime in June.  By that time Peach will be two, Cee Cee five and Hey Mikey eight. Our Granddaughter Maddie and her husband Brenton will be very busy!
