THIS WAS AFTER OUR LONG WALK

back up the driveway. Holly got back and needed a pick-me-up (some Halloween candy). I got back and almost needed an ambulance, ha. She tricked me. She said come on gramma let's take a walk and she wanted to go down the driveway. I said, ....but I don't know if I can climb back up Holly. She told me it would be easy so we walked down, and walked down Tennessee Valley Road a ways and then came back. I huffed and puffed all the way back up the driveway.

That's the last time I listen to her! hmmmph..

HI HOLLY

Time for your close-up.

HOLLY AT HER MARTIAL ARTS CLASS

Papa and I enjoyed watching her during her class. She did really well and seems to really like it.

PLAYING BASEBALL WITH HOLLY

While waiting for Holden to wake up from his nap, we played baseball with Holly and then later went to Rainforest. It's great being up here with the kids.

TWO WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL INTELLIGENT GRANDDAUGHTERS

Modeling my thrift store finds (except for the blanket Holly is wearing).

How fun having Holly here - hey we want you to come back ....and soon!

MARTIAL ART PHOTOS - MORE AT CAYDEN'S BLOG

SOME MORE BACK YARD SHOTS WITH HOLLY

Since there wasn't enough time, and too many kids to put in our car, we stayed at home and they played. First time HOlly has come to town where we haven't taken her to Rain Forest Cafe.

We promised Holly and Holden a trip to Rainforest when we are up in San Francisco next month.

Holly and Cayden were practicing some martial art moves which I'll put up next.

WEEKEND VISIT

Kenzie giving lessons. Holly off and running.

SILLY GOOFY DAD AND KIDS AND HATS

I spent a few days in thrift stores to find silly goofy hats and some outfits and then cleaned them up and brought them out for the kids to play with. There were about 8 different outfits and I forgot to bring the hats out until this morning when they were about to leave.

MY BEEAAAUUUUTIFULLLLL GRANDDAUGHTER

I really had fun with the kids here and loved having HOlly and Holden (who is so darn adorable)....for the time that they were here. Other than some sharing issues (with the little residents of the house, ha)...all went well. The time went too fast but I was glad they had time for dress up play and goofiness.

More photos coming later - i took gobs of them....

(gobs - where did that word originate - hmmm goblins, gobsmacked...i'll have to google that)..

SCENES FROM THE OTHER DAY

I'm so glad we had everybody over for one last time at this house. It was great seeing the kids and I can't wait to have time now to travel up to your place and spend time with the kids taking them out and about.

I like these photos of Joel and Holly.
