Has been a Looooooong Time!

I keep thinking I don't have time to write and want to do so when I have plenty of time but just remembered, I don't have to write a book! Probably would be better if I didn't. Definitely the highlight of April was the visits with the kids and grandkids.

Grandpop and I went to baby sit the Ohio clan for the week after Easter so the parents could go on a much-needed retreat. On the way, we stopped at the Noblesville plantation to visit that group. And we stopped on the way back also. I could bore you to tears with cute little anecdotes of each boy but won't. Suffice it to say they are the cutest, most talented, smartest, and any other -est you can imagine. We had a ball! Were kind of tired when we got home but not horribly like everyone said we would be. Honestly, though, I don't know what I would have done without The Dad to help out. Guess I will find out the middle of this month when I go alone to sit the other couple for 3 days. Can't wait! I do plan to go see the other bunch for Jonathan's birthday shortly.

One of the cutest things was the day, when asked where Jesus lives, almost 3-year old, put his little hand over his heart and said, "In Heaven and in my heart." Did it bring tears to old Granny or what? He feels and hears his heartbeat and declares that is Jesus. So cute!

And other almost-3 had something very exciting to tell but Granny wasn't home so he left a message just falling over himself to tell it--but only wanted to tell Grandma Sarah. How sweet. When I called back, he was in bed but good old momma let him get up long enough to tell me. That was so sweet and gave him the excuse to be out of bed for a second.

So then, about a couple of weeks after we got home from the visit, the Ohio clan came down South to visit here. Again, we had a wonderful time. Got a good chance to bond with the babies and think they are tops too! If I talk more about the "big" guys, it is because they are doing so much; but those little fellers are the cutest and happiest little guys. They are doing fun things too now. I can't wait until they are big enough to all come to Granny's at once!! We'll have Granny Camp.

Well, shux: I tried to download 2 photos at once and only one did--so I am trying again. The orange photo of Jonathan and Andrew, of course, is of them sitting in a bulldozer (I think--ask Mark or Jonathan) at the Evansville Children's Museum. It is really nice!!!!
