Summer Fun!

Once a grandchild turns 4 I look forward to
a special lunch and fun day out! 

So great to have one-on-one time with each as they grow up!

 I celebrated my oldest grandson Owen's 5th birthday on August 6th!

I picked him up and drove to a Phoenix Light Rail stop!
We purchased our tickets and waited for our train...
then transfered to the Sky Train and made our way to the Airport!
Owen loves elevators, escalators, moving sidewalks
and really anything with moving parts!
We had a ball running around and "riding" anything that moved
...over and over!
We enjoyed hamburgers and fries for lunch!!!

Special times....especially for me!

In the middle of August I went back to NYC
 to visit James and see the city. 

We had a few great days seeing the sights!
 I feel like I know my way around there now!!

Then I took a MegaBus to Boston....

I had to clean out our sub-letted apartment before the end of the month.   

I sold Beka's furniture and shipped things home.  

It was a busy time, but I got to spend the last evening with my friend Gail!
I've so enjoyed many visits to Boston over the last four years!

While I was away, Caden turned 2 on August 12th!!!
I was soooo sad to miss his celebration,
but PawPaw was there and got some great pics!

I wanted to be home before baby McInturff arrived,
so I returned on August 20th.

Baby Letty Jane McInturff arrived September 4th!
What a joy!  Our 7th Grandchild!!!!!

 The 3 older kids got to stay with us for 2 nights!!!

Such fun!
Many more pics.

James moved back home in September, deciding that NYC
wasn't where he was supposed to be for now.
He's working and living at home figuring out what's next for him...
it isn't easy being a 24 yr old artist.
