moving along

Moved into the kids rooms: new tables and chairs into each of their rooms! Kim's mom, Shirley gave them money for Christmas for them and they've been a hit! The kids have been using them a ton... thanks Grandma Shirley!


We lost three dear people in our lives a couple of weeks back, all on the same day. Nathan's Great Aunt Myra, "Grandma" Rachel Grebe and my Great Uncle Jimmy. Unfortunatly due to colds, an ear infection and two flat tires (thank goodness I was parked in the driveway both times we noticed they were flat, the second was due to a bad patch on the first flat tire), the kids and I weren't able to make it to either memorial service for Aunt Myra or Uncle Jimmy.

Moved into Papa Neil and Grandma Eileen's house: GG (Great Grandma)! Nathan's grandma had lived with her sister, Aunt Myra who was 92 years old, four years younger than GG. Neil and Eileen, bless their souls, had GG move in with them, so I spent some time helping them get her quarters ready for her to move in. The kids loved being able to help and be at Grandpa and Grandma's again so soon! GG's only been there for about four days now, but seems to be enjoying her new "apartment" as she calls it. : )


Wyatt getting into something he shouldn't, I'm sure...



Enjoying a cup of tea with Mom. : )

I love that last picture of Neil with his Mom. What a big undertaking for them! Will be praying. Sorry about the flat tires. Those are the things that just make you throw your hands up and surrender, eh?

It's difficult but also sweet when loved ones go HOME after long, long lives! I enjoyed hearing about the Taylor Tots all bunking in the same hotel room for U. Jimmy's funeral...

Wow what a week! I wish I could have been there to help, but thank you so much for all you and Nathan did to help my parents!!! <3

Love the tables in the kids rooms...what a great idea!

Kid-sized tables are awesome.

It was really fun to chat with you for a while, and let our kids play together too. They had so much fun! Hopefully we'll be able to make it down soon again, with more time for that to happen again on the next trip. :-)

What a month! You and your family are a spot of sunshine in those sad moments. Love that you could help them with the transition.

Those table and chairs are perfect for snacks and projects! Love Seeing all of it! Love A Jane
