for the second time this week, we woke up to snow!! So typical!
Or course it's gone now and sun is out, but it's definitely March-like weather. Dan and I have laughed today over memories of the year we got up to several inches on June 10, the first official day of summer vacation when I was still teaching. Ah, life in the mountains.
Meanwhile we've been enjoying going to Keaton's basketball games (his school is competing in a spring league for middle schoolers). Here he is going for the score!
And here's a photo of Cameron all dressed up for his school's spring formal. I'd show one with his date, but I'm not certain if it would be okay with her parents.
And finally, here's one of the Daniel, adding his bag of corn to his pre-school's pot of "stone soup." It's been a busy month for the boys.
Ann and I had a fun morning on Tuesday when she showed up with her niece Elizabeth (Eric's brother's daughter) and we taught her to use my quilting machine. For her last birthday Elizabeth had asked for quilting lessons from Auntie Ann and they spent the summer piecing a top. Of course, then school got in the way, but with this being spring break, it offered the perfect opportunity to quilt it. Elizabeth, who will turn just ten next month, did a fabulous job with the machine and got the whole top quilted. Just the binding left to be fitted into the schedule, hopefully soon. A whole new generation quilter!
Oh, and happy St. Paddy's day! ♥
It was 27 when we got up this morning. No snow, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics of family activities. You are so fortunate to live close to your grandkids.
Always good to engage the next generation in learning activities -- and great quality time with Auntie Ann.
And today is bright and sunny. Love it.
DeleteAnn really enjoyed working with Elizabeth and I'm sure it helped that E has a natural talent (previously untapped) for sewing.
Rest assured, we *do* know how blessed we are to have grandchildren close.
