I'll Grant You ONE Wish

Another bonus day with Her Majesty. Daddy brought her over and entertains her while Grandma heats some soup and makes a grilled cheese for her baby.

Grandma got out a couple toys new to Logan. Showed her twice where the button was and Logan was in business granting wishes.

Being in business and doing business are not the same. Logan can be stingy with wishes. She will flash a big smile to win you over at her discretion.

Here Logan had a few minutes of Daddy's time before he left for work. I love watching these little love-fests.

Way Back When ...

We had a mid-Winter gathering of the "volleyball" group. We started many nearly 40 YEARS ago. Playing at the church, camping and gathering in good times and bad. Rejoicing in blessings and mourning at losses. Dear friends who have reared our children together and bragged about our grandchildren. And now our children are friends as well. They are responsible for planning this event.

February 8th we met at Shipshewana, Indiana at Splash Universe. The water park features a Lazy River shown here.


It was a balmy 85 inside while outside it was 20 and snow still lay on the ground out our window.


Our room was bright and pleasant. Very comfortable.


Also featured were twin water slides, baby pools, hot tub and a snack bar.

This is the 500 gallon tip bucket in action!

It Must Be Baby Wars!

Yes! We still had our regular Logan Day on Wednesday.

Logan shows off the bristle block ring to Grandma.

Grandpa showed her how to make it and it was very pretty.

A Bonus Logan Day

Kyle and Sarah needed some extra sitting help and we won. Well it was by default; but we looked at it as winning. So miss beautiful came in all smiles on Monday!


Logan's always happy to be with her folks. But she generally has a pretty smile for any of us.


Then it is time for a Daddy-Daughter communication session. That girl doesn't want for love.

Grandma is beaming of joy, getting an extra day of sitting with Logan.

Logan plays the ever popular busy keyboard and rocks to the music with Grandma. She loves to dance.

Mom and Dad go to see "Coraline". The old folk get to watch the wee one a spell. They warned us that she has had a couple of bad days. And they "forgot" their cell phone. We loaned them one of ours and said, "Go on and have fun. She'll be fine."

Grandpa gives a finger puppet show for the real Cora.
Cora was a doll. Not quite as perky as usual, but very pleasant and I enjoyed her company very much. We marvelled over someones idea of what animal these strange crocheted finger cots might be. (Someone seems not to have been in touch with reality). But it only matters that we could play together.


Cora played music on the activity seat and encouraged Grandma to dance while seated. Grandpa was kind enough to keep those fun sights just for family. Cora did like to see it and laughed with Grandma.


Then Cora had some quite time with books (Of course. Whose daughter is she?). She did like the classic "Pinocchio".
