Well, it has been a whirlwind the past few months. Valentine's Day, Easter and Grandparents Day at school. Not to mention work and every day activities! Victoria was a little too old to ask Nana to grandparents day this year, but Jamin and Paige did. I enjoyed walking into their world for a few hours of the day. What a breath of fresh air to be counted as a part of their daily lives. Jamin's class had us fill out a questionnaire about life when I was his age. Brought back a few good memories and we had fun with that. We also got to go to the school's book fair. I enjoyed watching him browse the many shelves of books and goodies that were displayed. He was so careful not to waste my money, only wishing for one book, that I had him get something for his brother and sisters, too. I read his reports on Alaskan Iditarod racing, and the Malamute dog breed. It was good to see the exciting things they were learning in class. With Paige, I sat in a science class discussing how to "engineer"a magazine cover and then we went to social studies to discuss ancient China. That teacher focused too much on the ancient philosophies (had to whisper in Paige's ear it reminded me of the verse in Judges - everyone did that was right in their own eyes). But it was nice to meet their friends and classmates and share in that part of their day. Afterwards, we all went back to their house. Aunt Shellie, Wyatt and Sami were there, too. We all walked to the ice cream store. Jamin and Tyler taught Wyatt how to get the big rig trucks to beep. He was fascinated by that. Sami and Elijah both enjoyed the rides they got in their strollers. Elijah's lips were smacking when he saw all that ice cream. Poor guy just had to watch all the kids eating in front of him! I am looking forward to the warmer weather and being able to do more outside. Samantha shared her popcorn with me today. She told me she loves popcorn and "lemonlade". I love watching my popcorn burst into new life and adventure. And learning that when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade!
