Birthdays, visits and moves!

Tim was surprised in July for his 63rd birthday by the whole gang!

Fun Party for Papa!

 I turned 60 in September!  Crazy!  How did this happen?

 James moved to NYC September 18th!
Excited to see what's ahead for him!

 Gramma came to visit October 22-27!  

I'm so impressed that my mom at 84 yrs old 

was excited to make this trip by herself -

Including driving herself to the Detroit airport!

I want to be like her when I grow up!!!

A wonderful lunch out with just Deb and Rachel!

We spent hours together!!  

Thankful for the dad's who watched all the

kids so we could actually talk!

Great Gramma with Deb's boys ...
Everett (3), Amos (1) and Owen (6)

They want Great G to come everyday!

Great Gramma with Rachel's kids ...
Adad (7), Emsley (5), Letty (1) and Caden (3)
They just loved their Great Gramma!!!

Saying goodbye at the airport ...

so glad mom opted for a wheelchair!

She deserved the ride after such a busy week, 

before the big trip home!

Such a special time with my mom :)

I had a wonderful day out with Emsley for 
her 5th birthday in November!  She shopped
and picked out her Elsa doll, we had lunch at
Ihop, rode the Carousel - Twice!,  
and played at the park... all Emsley's choice
with Elsa joining us for the day!
Such fun!

 For Adah's 7th Birthday, also in November, she picked out
her doll!  Then both of us, with the doll, rode the light rail 
to the Sky Train into the Phoenix Airport, where we had 
lunch, explored and rode the Sky Train over and over.
We then took the light rail to downtown Phoenix where we 
got frozen yogurt and went the "free" Wells Fargo Museum!
Want a fun adventure together!
I just love my GREAT idea of spending
a day out alone with each grandkid (once they turn 4)!
I love getting to know each unique one!!!
I'm a blessed Grammie!!

I'm enjoying my new patio and hummingbirds!

This is my view from where I sit in the mornings or evenings!
So peaceful!
