Weekend fun

Aunt Stacy & Ava (?)
First bath together

Cowgirl Emma

Big girls

Play time

As promised, we finally have some new pix. We left here Thursday and headed north for some baby holding. We spent a couple of fun days visiting and playing with our youngest grandbabies. The weather was good on Friday so Duane, daughter in law Brandey and I whisked the girls around the neighborhood on a brisk walk. Friday evening brought rain and daughter Stacy so we spent Saturday having a good long family chat and play day. After pizza for dinner, Duane and I headed home. Emma and Ava are nine months old now and cuter than ever. Their hair is really growing and they are sitting, rolling, and crawling like pros. Mom Brandey took advantage of the extra help to bathe both girls together. They played well together then showed us how they are big girls holding their bottles. We had a very fun time, but it was kind of wierd without our house.

We are almost done with our 20 hours each. We are looking forward to starting our stint of 20 hours for both of us combined. Duane has his job down pat, and I am getting better and better about remembering details and catching errors. After a couple of days of wet cold, the weather is cooperating again. We have a little more spare time now, so Duane has done some carving, but I don't have time this week to start laying out my latest quilt. I'll start that next week maybe. I have a new friend here in the park and she is going to help me with that task. With any luck I will have it ready to sew by the time we have to move to our new location. More news when we get it.
