The Last Couple Weekends

The last couple weekends have been spent visiting grandchildren. The weekend of Feb. 8, I went to Colorado. I couldn't resist taking this shot of Conner in "time-out". He is very good at throwing a ball, but now he is learning not to throw other things. It is great fun, after all, to throw a remote through the air and watch it land on a tower of blocks. You just can't be upset with a child as sweet as this.




We all know that Luke likes cars and in fact, the boys' bedroom has a NASCAR decor. So, it was fun to spend the next weekend and watch the Daytona 500 with that family. It is a very long race, so we watched the beginning and the end with the kids (with their race cars in hand). Luke fell asleep watching the post race interviews.


While Larry and Eric worked on an R&S project, Nina and I painted Ellie's room and shopped for a decorations that I might give her for her birthday. We also made use of things she already had. For example:

Knowing Eric's love of hiking, I bought this book for Ellie for her first birthday. Nina thought it was a great book to display in her "new" room, since it was all about the outdoors- birds, flowers, and sun hats. This room is so feminine. It is just perfect for her. With Nina's permission, I'm posting a few pictures of the almost completed room.
