thankful it's Friday!

 Grant and Ruth went home last evening, and met their new baby sister Maeve Lousie.

Seeing how she holds that newborn doll, I'd be careful ha.
Grant looks like the happiest big brother!

They wanted a snack...Grant, Ruth, Tennyson
Baby Jamison...
Cousins Grant, Wulf, Achilles...
Sonja making nachos with some help from Tennyson and Rhys
Aunt Camille got home from her painting job...Rhys loves her.
And, today at the pool...ahhh.  I didn't even make it out there yesterday, not even to turn on the pump.  But today, there were only two little boys, Wulf and Tennyson...with their mama Margaret who was working...and me.  So it seemed a bit easy.
Yesterday was crazy busy because Sonja started work, Char and Cam worked, Paul was here but working, Margaret was working...then Kathryn came over with Achilles, Rhys, and Jamison...the kids are fun, but quite busy!   Suzanne visited too...it was SO nice to see her.

Anyway today was quieter.  The boys and I went on some adventures, which means we walked around the yard and up the road, with sticks (and a big rock, in case of Bad Guys), and found a dead frog, a dead mouse, some tiny wild strawberries, different flowers, the blackberries, and other interesting things.  

They left a little while ago and the house was quiet...then Sonja came home from work.  Evelyn is coming over, and picking up Char and Cam from work.  Paul is out doing things and will be home soon.  We'll make dinner...more nachos, burgers, and sweet corn...

Ah well...time to talk to Sonja about her day...

Billie Jo, thank you! Terri, yes "good busy". :)
Marilyn, she is still learning the ropes, how to use the communication systems, ect. Pretty cool to get paid for training though. She's liking it so far!
