It's Invisible!

Last Friday, Maddie and I had the opportunity to spend the evenings with the Littles! 
We had so much fun!
Warning - that Incredibles 2 movie is strange (at least M and I think it is).

The kids always go to bed like little angels!
Jane (8 years old) had a rather complicated good-night
ritual for the boys and Dorothy consisting of
playing and singing an original song on her harp, playing another song, 
making up a story and then praying together.
That took a while!

However, Jane and Harry (5 years old) had a little trouble getting to sleep.
Both missed their Mom and Dad and felt very sad.
One time when Harry was crying and I went to see what the problem was,
there was a bucket next to his bed [it hadn't been there before].
He said he was sad and he threw up!!! 
Oh No I thought - yuck!
But . . . there was nothing in the bucket.
I told Philip about it later, he said that has
happened before. 
When asked why the bucket is empty, Harry responded
"It's invisible throw-up!" 

Meanwhile, Jane was up a few times because she was cold
and her comforter "was not very comforting!"

Those kiddos are such a hoot!
We love them to pieces!

Well, Hello October!

So hard to believe it is October already!
Miss M has the countdown to
Thanksgiving and Christmas on
her iPhone and advises me daily 
on "how many days until . . ."
Yikes!  I already feel unprepared!
But, I'm reading about getting ready early
this year, so there's hope I will actually
be ready!



It's been forever since I posted anything about "The Littles."
So, it's about time, isn't it!


Catherine's brother got married in July and almost everyone was in the wedding!!
Oh my word, they are growing like weeds and
Jane and Walt are not so little!
Jane is in 2nd grade this year,
Walter in first grade,
Harry in preschool
and little Dorothy - 18 months old already!


They are such a joy and so hilarious!
Kids do say the darndest things -
Art Linkletter was right!



Such a fun swing!
Jane really works hard pushing
that swing for her brothers and sometimes
squeezing their adorable little heads together!

The Littles aka The Grands!

This is a post all about "the Littles" also known
as The Grands!!


They are a darling trio and we had some family photos
taken in July, so I wanted to share
their adorable cuteness with you!


Miss Janie - the oldest is now 5 years old and in kindergarten!
She loves seeing her teacher and friends every day,
learning to read and having chocolate milk at lunch!


Mr. Walt is 4 and going to preschool 3 days a week!
He was so happy to start school again and be reunited
with his preschool teacher from last year and all his buddies.
His only wish . . . that he would be able to have chocolate milk every day!


Little Mr. Harry turned 2 in August.  He is cuteness+
with a sweet and snugly personality.
And he operates pretty much at one speed - fast!
He plays big, runs fast, has never met a fence, stair or barricade
that he can't climb or take down.
Since Janie and Walt are in school at the same
time 3 days a week, Harry gets some 
fun one-on-one time with his Mom
and is attending an itty-bitty 
music/dance/jump class!


Here's the whole family  -- with big news -
a new little grand expected at the end of March, 2016!
Congrats to Philip and Catherine!
