New York 9-4-2009

Yes, I finally got to go to New York and be a regular tourist and see all the sites. I did a double take when Paul told me where we were going for my birthday. I was so excited!
We stayed in Manhattan, took the subway everywhere, and a few taxis, and a bike ped through Central Park. We went to see Lady Liberty, Ground Zero and we shopped a Tiffany's. Needless to say we were exhausted everyday but we loved every minute of the trip.

FLOYDEE AND THE DRUM SET

I GAVE FLOYDEE A DRUM SET AND NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WENT WILD. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CHILD GET SO EXCITED ABOUT SWINGING DRUM STICKS AND TAMBOURINES AROUND 
HE LOVES TO POUND ON THINGS. HUMMM
MAYBE HE WILL BE A DRUMMER, A CONTRACTOR OR AN ORTHOPEDIC PHYSICIAN--THEY LOVE TO USE HAMMERS--TRUST I KNOW.

Margot's First Birthday

Yes, Margot was looking radiant for her first birthday. She strolled around in her beautiful new satin and velvet dress just taking in all the people and the festivities. She loves her grandparents and of course we think she is quite special also.

Grant and Floyd

Grant and Floyd were spending some fun cousins time together. This week I have been helping Lauren out by picking up Floydee and taking him to my house. Everyone at Daycare now knows Grammy B and they always are so nice to me. Floydee just smiles when I walk in the door because he knows it time to play, eat and do things that Mom won't allow. Oh Grandma, you are so bad!
