Young M and Em At Mall Of America

M, Em, Cindi and Gregg hit the Mall of
America for just over an hour on Friday.

Pablo is M's favorite Backyardigan.

M seems to be in sensory overload. Most of the
time, he didn't smile, just had a serious look.

M with Diego.

Swiper no swiping.

M can take or leave Sponge Robert.


The young woman operating the blue train allowed M
to push the button that controls the train whistle that
you can hear in the background, he smiled.

At Granny's After

Granny's Funeral

We had rain on and off today, while we were at the
cemetery, no rain.

Back at the church, Em was watching L and M

in a very nicely supplied children's room.

Granny's church did a very nice job of our lunch

buffet.

And now for something completely different.....

L and M getting ready for church.

Prep And Granny's Visitation

Partially completed picture poster.

Searching for more items to add to the posters.

Jill put L down for a nap on Granny's bed. While

placing some things in the room, I noticed this

light coming in the room, lightly spilling onto L.

The sight gave me goose bumps. I'm afraid

this picture doesn't to justice to the angelic look

that L had.

Mothers Day Dinner

The girls and their families were with us for dinner
to celebrate Mother's Day today.
We had grill roasted whole chicken with avocado,
tomato and cilantro salsa, Italian style pasta
salad and Panera Bread bread with garlic and
rosemary infused olive oil. Caramel brown for
dessert.

It's great to have the girls here with their

families, celebrating the fact that they are

both Moms now.Make a Dad mighty proud.

Happy Mother's Day!

Our traditional pre-mother's day, Friday in Saugatuck continues....this year with four generations and two new mom's, Em and J! What a beautiful day we had to celebrate. The flowers were beautiful and the company was exceptional. M entertained with his enthusiasm and story-telling and L was her usual cute self, wearing a new outfit from Uncle Checo! M was on the go and in-and-out of many photos.

Thanks, girls and moms! And again, Happy Mother's Day to two instructional, inspirational and loving women in my life and two young ladies, of whom I could not feel more proud and feel priveleged to have mothered. I love you all!
