I remember when Wyatt used to eat eggs, now he won't eat them fried or scrambled, all he ever wants is raisen bran or oatmeal! (thats for ALL meals LOL!)

"If I add a little bit of syrup and a tad of honey, this banana will be just right!"

by christina at 03/18/10 4:15PM
^i was thinking the same thing about the syrup/honey.
it made me want to fix a peanut butter/banana/syrup sandwich.
have you ever had one of those?!

by monk at 03/18/10 4:42PM
Let's see how many sticky things we can pull out of the pantry!! :) I've never tried adding syrup to my peanut butter and banana, but that would make it good and sweet! Chase is lot of fun with kids! Go, Kaelyn! Go, Papa John!!

How clean are your floors, Gramma? lol *smile*

by jkmram at 03/19/10 7:01AM
Gotta love sticky stuff on a banana that's been dropped on the immaculately clean kitchen floor!

In a post below, how did you do that whimsical looking portrait? Is it a feature on your software? I love it!

by iloveponds at 03/19/10 7:19AM
I'll definitely check out the new photo effects next time I'm uploading pics to that site. Thanks!

by TracyMRoederer at 03/17/10 8:58AM
I agree he had super examples and I'm so glad Sarah and the kids have him. Love that picture.

by squeaky at 03/17/10 1:22PM
Nathan's enjoyed children for years and I'm so happy that he and Sarah have two of their very own to love!!

by sherelyn at 03/17/10 2:06PM
Thank you. Do you know what everyone has had? Is it the respiratory thing?

by kamille at 03/17/10 2:16PM

Is that cake or cookie dough your letting Kaelyn eat? That's a for sure grandma thing to do.

by squeaky at 03/15/10 2:25PM
Nice picture of Nathan and Sarah!! Jackson isn't a happy camper in that picture! :)

by sherelyn at 03/15/10 3:13PM
Sweet!

by derbydi at 03/15/10 4:46PM
that's mashed potatoes on that beater.
grandma would never give lissy something with raw eggs in it.
salmonella!

by monk at 03/15/10 5:30PM
precious, precious babies! Aren't you blessed. :o)

by jkmram at 03/15/10 6:16PM
So sweet and cute....Nathan and Sarah look so happy and blessed.

by ginnyann at 03/16/10 7:45AM

keep up grandma

at 03/13/10 8:16PM

this is what it looks like when you try to hold your granddaughter and video her saying hello to the horse at the same time

can you see what she sees

post from missy ing

I went to the afternoon awards ceremony (for 3rd-5th graders) at Marissa's school yesterday. She got an award for A/B Honor Roll (only 1 B) and one for Reading! So proud of her! :)

I wish I could have went to the morning ceremony as well (for K-2nd). I sometimes wonder what it would be like if Nathan had never gotten sick, never lost his vision, if he were a normal, healthy 8 year old boy in the 2nd grade. I wonder what he would like best about school, who his friends would be. He'd be so cute hopping down the bleachers to go and get a certificate! I wouldn't care if he never won an award, I'd just LOVE to have him here!

I am truly thankful for my husband and my precious daughter, but our family will not be "complete" again until we are reunited in Heaven someday. No matter where we go or what we do together, we will always be missing Nathan. He had his special place in our family, as each of us do, and now his place is empty. As a mother, it's heart wrenching to carry a child in your womb, then care for him and love him unconditionally, only to have an evil disease rip him away from you. Life will never be the same. But we are blessed to have had our lives touched by this beautiful little boy, though the time was much too brief.

Thanks for listening and for your love and prayers.

Love,
Missy

Footloose and Fancy-free...that's Kaelyn!

by derbydi at 03/14/10 2:00PM
I love the yellow bandana. FYI not sure if you shop at Marshall's but Jessica and I were there looking for dresses for her and they have a lot of Life is Good stuff, handbags, hats, shirts, necklaces, backpacks, dishes and garden stuff too. Jessica kept saying Frani would like this oh and she would like that too. :)

by msshampoo at 03/15/10 8:45AM
Please relate to Missy that I have the same feelings and Wendy has been gone now for 28 yrs......especially this past weekend when Sam(her old boyfriend) was here with his wife and family. You remember that my SIL's sister married Sam....they have 3 beautiful children(the oldest being 25 and the youngest 20)(time flies)....they are all christians....Sam is a deacon in the church....He has gained a few pounds and doesn't have a beard any more but is still the same Sam. I couldn't help but think about what Wendy and Sam's life would have been if they had married.....it was that serious when she had the accident. Well, Missy Ing is not any different in her thinking than any of us who have lost children....no matter the age.
Give her my love and tell her I keep her in my prayers.
Love you

by ginnyann at 03/15/10 9:31AM
I love Kaelyn's giggle!! She's definitely an animal person! Glad you've got several to choose from within walking distance.

I feel for Missy and the family! You never stop missing those dear to you who have passed on, do you.

Thanks for the welcome back. I've been lurking but not posting lately. Have to keep up with your two precious grandbabies. :)

by fmr1222 at 03/12/10 1:55PM
It's funny that Kaelyn smiles when the doctor checks her ears! She used to laugh when you suctioned her nose and now she smiles when you check her ears!! What a sweet girl! :) Jack Jack is sure growing!! He's getting rolls on his neck! :)

by sherelyn at 03/12/10 4:01PM
Yes, I like them. Bob & B. R. like them too.
