The boys Christmas Program...ha..ha

I was invited to my first Christmas Program for the twins! Mommy said they had been practicing their songs for weeks and now was time to perform!!!!! They were so sweet:D Hunter was into it, but Chase kept looking longingly to mommy. He was not thrilled about staying up front and wanted to come and sit with Mommy in the audience. They sang a large number of Christmas songs and heard the Christmas story from the pastor. Lovely way to start the Christmas Holiday!!!!!

My Littlest Angel......Maddie

My smallest "Peeps" couldn't join us this year for Christmas......but.....the next best thing is hearing her voice on the phone and seeing pictures is (Almost) real time:D Here she is ready to party at her other grandma's house! She looks like a little package all tied up with ribbons and ready to be opened:D Merry Christmas Maddie XOXOXO

Merry Christmas from Our Home to Yours......

I hope your Holiday is filled with love, peace and family!

Just Milly and Me..................

What a precious little girl......so full of life!!!!!

When Carrie works I love having Milly! It gives us our own time.....quality time.....together:D Today we painted, read and cooked together. She is really something at 3 yrs. old and carries on a running conversation all day long:D

When she wraps her around my neck and says, "Grandma, I love you".....I melt:D

A week full of babies:D

The reason I retired!!!!!

Quality time with the little ones in my life........

can it get any better than this? I don't think so......................

Relaxing...............................

After a nice dinner at Chris and Sheila's house Sunday night.......the boys got hooked on a movie! When I say HOOKED, I mean they tune out the world:D Aren't they cute so absorbed in the monsters on screen!!!!!

Not even the camera phased them....LOL

My Sweetie and I :)

Routine....routine....routine:) That is what Autism is all about! There is nothing my sweetie loves more than her bubble bath. She starts asking about "Bath" as soon as she reaches our house. She love the Jacuzzi (don't know if that is spelled correctly, but you get the idea). She loves to control the power of the bubbles and the on/off switch:D Margo shows her love in different ways than typical children. She loves to play with your face....and.....she will give you plenty of kisses, she also loves to rub noses....LOL! She is a hoot! She is so loving and sweet I can't get enough of her....neither can her Papa:D.

Together wherever we go..........

When Margo sleeps over we have our little routines:D If I am working in my studio, she has a swing right there to be with me. After her bath the other night, I decided to take a few pics. No fair judging me on the shape of my studio though.....LOL! She heads downstairs and swings wildly while grandma works on her projects. Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Children with Autism need to swing for 20 minutes several times a day! This is not for ALL children, but it really calms my little munchkin:D

Twins at "Build a Bear"......

It was Milly's birthday party at Build-a-Bear and the twins celebrated with us! After lunch we make our bears and then took them to the play area for a romp around:D

More pics of Milly and her cat at Studio Stuff.....my other blog!

Last night..........in Webster!

Papa went to visit the kids while Nana went to see "So You Think You Can Dance" review!!!!! I think we both had a really good time:D

Halloween Party!

My girls in Poodle Skirts

Longing to Hold Her..................

My little precious will celebrate Halloween without her Nana:( I hate missing all these little things! She is getting so big I can hardly believe it. I look at her and see her father. It brings so many happy memories back........................I Love You Little Girl!

MIlly, Hunter and Chase at the Pumpkin Farm:D

We all sure had fun on this beautiful day! Sheila, Carrie and I spent the better part of the day watching the kids play and romp among the pumpkins! One place you can go for free these days.....most places charge you to get in, but at Rombach's you can enter for free but there are some charges if you want to go into certain areas. We had a ball spending nothing except some candy purchases before leaving:D

Body Language.....

No words needed.......Priceless!

Gabby Turns FOUR!!!!

The Gabster turned 4 yesterday and what is a Birthday without a party? Laura and Mike had a delicious dinner for everyone and Gabby enjoyed her "Mummy Cake" and all the presents:) Thank you Laura for a nice evening!!!!! (Unfortunately my camera pooped out after only a few shots)

Every Princess needs a few bubbles......

My little Princesses enjoying their bubbles!

Picnic and Train Rides......

Today we had a picnic at one of our local parks! The kids enjoyed riding on the minature train and eating chicken and cupcakes!!!! We played ball and frisbee and enjoyed each others company:)

Look What 3 Months Can Do For A Girl :)

Isn't she P.R.E.C.I.O.U.S? OMG I could eat her little head off......figuratively speaking!!! I can't wait to get her in my arm..........................you make cute babies J. & A.

My Little Girl in K.C. is Getting Too Big......

Look at that Precious Little Thing.......I can't help but chuckle just looking at her:)

Pretty Cool Little Girl in her jeans and "T"........

wish I could hold her for just a little while:(

Mattie.......................Nana really misses you!!!!!!

Soon to be THREE!

Milly and I got to spend the entire day together before we picked up Margo from school! She is one of the loves of my life and spending time together is SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!

A While Ago................the sleep-over

Found this darling collage of the boys taken one evening when they were spending the night & thought I would share it:) My Precious Little Peeps!!!!!

Two Little Girls in Blue.....

We went to the mall today to get Margo ready for school!

Tonight is "meet the teacher night"

and

Margo will meet her 1st grade teacher and fellow students:)

It is hard to believe she will be 7 in a few months!

Carrie had made them these darling little matching dresses

and they looked to cute.

All in all they were very good.......we kind of ran them into the ground,

wanting to get everything done today:)

Afterwards, Margo modeled all her new duds for me and it was so much fun. Check out her photo shoot at Studio Stuff. Next we will have to get Milly ready for fall and winter as well:) Grandkids are SO MUCH FUN!

Sweet Josephina Marie......

Josie came to visit Monday night and had a sleep-over:) We had so much fun Tuesday......went shopping for school supplies and shoes, did an art project, went out to lunch and had a bubble bath......what more could a girl ask for?

I had several pics of her visit, but must have deleted them from my camera thinking I already downloaded them#$@!$. That makes me SOOOOO mad when I do that!!!!!

Thank you Josie for being such a good girl and making our visit So Much Fun!

My Little Gamers.....................

Maybe I am prejudice, but these little guys can play anything and are REALLY GOOD AT IT! It is so much fun to watch them (at 3)...can't wait to see what it is like when they get a little older:) Life just gets more and more fun!

Milly being Milly............

Yesterday Milly and Margo paid me a little visit! When I tried to take a few pics of my little "Punk"......she started acting like only she can do:) Twirling, giggling and running the other way....NO POSING for Nana when she knows I am trying to have a Kodak Moment....LOL

The Kansas City Connection!

I just had a visit with my K.C. kids.............and my precious Maddie!
