As Our World Turns

As you can imagine, our world revolves around three grandchildren – two very active ones and one unborn. Here is your first glimpse of the unborn one:

I know, these ultra sound images are hard to see. The head is on the right and he/she is sort of looking our direction. It was a whole lot more interesting being there in person. I took Jana to the Pregnancy Care Center to get some literature on how big the baby is and what features are developing because she left all this stuff at home. They loaned her a book and then asked if she would like to have an ultra sound. Normally they do not do this but they need models (i.e. guinea pigs) to practice on. Actually the nurse was very good and very skilled but she hadn’t done a lot of ultra sounds on 3-month fetuses. So we made an appointment and they let all of us into the room to see the actual thing up close and personal. Very amazing!

Before I forget… if you happen to get Highways Magazine, look in the May issue, page 13. In the picture at the top promoting the 2010 Rally in Louisville is a picture of our RV. Its not hard to find -- the little diminutive fifth wheel in the midst of all the BIG Class A’s – right in the front row of the picture. That’s us. Kind of neat, huh? If you don’t have the issue and you want to check it out, go to this web site. I think the link will work for anyone – not just Good Sam members. It will take you to an Acrobat version of the May issue, then scroll down to page 13.

Weather? Hot! In the 90s and sometimes high 90s. However, for my friends in the east, the humidity is low – you don’t boil to death in your own sweat, you just melt.

One day we went to a children’s festival in Jacksonville. The kids enjoyed it and it gives me an excuse to post a few more pictures of them.

Mother Goose is talking to Lilly and Josiah. I have to admit she really looked like Mother Goose – however that is supposed to look.

Lilly is a ham when it comes to pictures. She can bat her eyes, tip her head and get whatever she wants. I hope she outgrows that.

We tried out a new playground last Sunday evening. Josiah is pretty proud because he can go from one ring to the other without being held up. Lilly still needs help.

But she’s getting pretty bold about reaching out for the bar and sliding down.

The BIG project for us was the yard sale last week. Even though we – mostly Joyce – had sorted everything out weeks ago, it still took lots of time and effort to lay it all out – and I mean ALL. Look at this mass of stuff, from one house.

Back under the tree are a couple sales ladies. Josiah and Lilly sold water, juice and sodas. They did pretty well because it was a hot day. We got rid of a lot of stuff and gave the rest to a family having their own yard sale. At least it is out of the closet and garage.

And so it goes. As I said in the last post, aren’t grandkids wonderful? Yea, they surely are.
