Grandchildren are the crown of the aged
~
and parents are the pride of their children.






Verne is learning to say my name!!

Oh my heart!

I suppose if I was Nana he would have said it already

but I chose to be Hopi and so he says "Ho-hu"

Which just about melts every little part of me into a puddle at his sweet little feet.

Speaking of puddles..




We went to the playground

and Verne found himself a mud puddle to splash around in. 





He loved going down the slides and climbing up and down the stairs.




...Christopher Robin woke up the next day
the sneezles had vanished away
and the look in his eye
seemed to say to the sky
now how to amuse them today...

    These are precious pictures of your grandson. I have a new grandbaby, and she warms my heart as well. There's just something about kids wanting to jump in a big puddle of water...or mud. : )

    How gorgeous is Verne! He's going to be a heartbreaker for sure and he's already melted yours.How lucky you are to have him "amuse you", great WTP quote.
    Thanks for bringing Verne to MM this week.

    Mud and little boys were meant to go together. He is a heartbreaker now, and will be in the future (in the best way!) I am glad you chose a grandma name that meant something to you, even if it might be hard to say at first!

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
