My "person" and her sister + more

"I'll be your person."

I have a little helper every time I work in the kitchen. As I head to make any sort of meal, Danika traipses along behind saying "I'll be your person Gramma." I think she means helper but she sure is a cute person!

She is a great helper. Genevieve came in to help as well. She was in charge of the tomato, basil and fresh mozzarella dish.

Both girls did a great job.

It was pizza night but we had some fresh veggies as well.

Celebrating a job well done!

My Puzzle Girl

Genevieve loves building puzzles... and is quite good at it. She was working with Hayden's city scape puzzle blocks and made her own skyline.

First Haircut

Of course this isn't Wyatt's first haircut but it is the first time he's been to a shop for one. He was very polite and did a great job of sitting still. It helped that the hairdresser was one that Rowan had gone to before so Wyatt had to rise to the challenge of behaving as well as his cousin.

He is looking forward to his next visit!

Back from Alaska

Nicole is back! Krystle holed up in the music room with her and looked at some fan fiction. Danika climbed up for a cuddle. Genevieve is super excited to have her back as well. It was super great to have her here for a night.

Mr Observant

Garrett is reaching that point in development where if something catches his eye he is very intent on studying it. Grampa brought him outside last night and he was fascinated by the sky.

Cousins!!!!

These cousins have so much fun together. This time Katie seemed to be a huge novelty. She is interacting more and more so these bigger cousins want to interact with her. Rowan is always a fun guy to have around. He is always up for a wrestle or game or just laughing together.

Artistic Daughters are Wonderful!

I am in awe of Alyssa's artistic talent. I can follow craft directions but I can't hold a candle to this woman. She has such a gift for working with many different mediums. She has served children's ministries in churches here in Portland and up near her house. She has been commissioned to create several paintings for buddies of Logan's as well. She has a flair for communicating through art that is for sure!

The weekends are never long enough when the kids come to visit. All too soon they are heading out. Thanks for coming guys!!!!
