5 (Claire), 4 (Ashtyn), 3 (Parker), 2 (Olivia), and Riley is 1!

Our Riley is one! And what a joyful one she is too!

And her sisters, parents, grandparents and everyone else still love her so very much!

Riley's favorite activity when I am on the vid phone is to walk back and forth on their couch... wish I had a video of it, but here's this one...

So blessed to have Riley in my life!

Summer - Short but Sweet

This summer is over (as far as I am now back to work... 😢). 

But at least I was able to spend some time with the littles which means it has been a great summer!

Baking,

building,

and, of course, reading!!!

Summer was definitely short and especially sweet!

She's 5 already!

She's such a smart, fun loving, happy, wonderful girl!

I am so blessed to be Claire's Grandma!

A Day At the Museum...

the Dinosaur Museum!

It was so much fun to spend time learning together with these girls.

Ashtyn especially loved asking questions and seeing and even touching some of the exhibits.

And, of course, the gardens with the replicas fascinated these two littles!

To top it off, their Grandpa Anderson helped put together this skeleton once upon a time...

It was a great day!

My Positively Passionate, Persistent, Personable and Playful Parker!

Parker is now 3! She is a bundle of energy

who adores her family!

And boy how she loves to "read"- this is actually 'Crime and Punishment'... 😕😕😕

She also adores both of her Grandpas!

I am so blessed to have such a granddaughter as Parker!

Fond Farewell

Challenging week to say goodbye to AISU... It will be hard not to see these two special friends as often.

And difficult not to work in this unique building...

But it has been a great time to work with fabulous people and to help amazing young men and women progress in their lives!

And I will miss intensives!!!

Especially yarnbombing!

I have been blessed to be a Dragon!

A Grandfather to My Grandchildren

 Once long ago, I was told that I needed to keep looking for the right man to marry and promised that I would find a grandfather for my grandchildren.

And what a wonderful man he is too!!!

Luke has so much fun with our girls!

I am so very blessed!!!
