We got to spend some time with grandchildren.
|
|
Samantha, age three and a half, learning to ride the horse.
|
|
|
Look Mama, no hands!
|
|
|
Kate, age seven months, can sit but a pillow is behind her because she tends to topple over.
|
|
|
Kate seems to like the cold air on her tongue. She sticks it out often.
|
|
|
Samantha learning to ride a scooter. Her Mama thought she needed a helmet, plus knee and elbow pads.
|
|
|
She is getting more confident on the scooter.
|
|
|
Kate's tongue is sticking out again.
|
|
|
Her tongue is in her mouth for a moment. Grandaddy isn't wearing his glasses because Kate was grabbing them.
|
|
|
Samantha loves to have an adult push her on the swing.
|
|
|
The sticks in the woods are interesting.
|
|
|
Ready for Thanksgiving dinner.
|
|
|
Turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and wild rice were all enjoyed.
|
|
|
A few weeks later we arrived for Angelina's Christmas party at school. Angelina is seven now.
|
|
|
There was a pre-Christmas exchange of gifts among the five children with their nanny.
|
|
|
Angelina and Evan, age two and a half, playing in the woods.
|
|
|
The woods seem quite enjoyable.
|
|
|
They are shaking the small trees. It was getting chilly. That's why they have heavier coats on.
|
|
|
Evan is carefully testing his footing.
|
|
|
Evan just after he slid down the spiral slide at the park.
|
|
|
Angelina was enjoying the park equipment too.
|
|
|
Oliver is easy to please. That's a TV remote control he is playing with.
|
|
|
Oliver, 13 months old, is a happy kid.
|
|
|
Making Christmas cookies.
|
|
|
Decorating Christmas cookies.
|
|
|
On Christmas morning, there is a new play house. In the foreground is a new see-saw.
|
|
|
It seems that the playhouse is a lot of fun.
|
|
|
Oliver is sitting on one of his Christmas gifts, while his sister and brother take off the wrapping.
|

|
|
|
Angelina took a lot of photos with her new camera. One is this picture of her brother.
|
|
|
This picture shows the perspective of a 7-year-old. A photo of an adult shows the ceiling in the background.
|
|
|
We then spent a few days at New Years with Samantha and Kate. Kate is getting more assertive, reaching for the cards in of this board game.
|
|
|
Sometime Kate really enjoys grinning at the camera.
|
|
|
However, in this picture Kate is trying to figure out why the other two silly people are putting things on their heads and have put something on her head too.
|
|
|
On New Years Day there were a few more Christmas gifts to be opened.
|
|
|
Samantha has just completed putting a new puzzle together.
|
|
|
The two girls dressed for bed.
|
|
|
Samantha had just read a book and is now in her bed. She likes pink!
