We have been taking it easy, but working on Some words, and how to sound them out. We've had some friends over again and that felt good. It had been a while since the illnesses of February ran away with our lives.
Grady is in love with his Legos (TM) and is really getting into making his own things from them. He has also memorized the Star Wars story from Movie 4-6, the Luke Skywalker story.
Paige, Spencer and Gordon on a recent visit.

We are attempting Apple Dolls, hoping to make a couple of Pirates out of these bad boys.
Cora had a blast one quiet morning playing "fill and Dumo" at the kitchen sink. These are the mornings I remember my Grandmother the most.
