Granddaughters Keep Life Interesting

A short while ago I got a phone call from David. During the course of our conversation he told me that Staci had taken the girls shopping. Boston wanted a new outfit to wear. She found exactly what she was looking for. Picked it out all by herself. Pretty glamorous is our Boston. She did a good job of shopping for clothes, and looked pretty snazzy going off to school.






Some time passed, and I emailed David this evening, telling him that I had the scrapbook page of Boston in her new outfit all ready to put on the blog, but needed one of Maddie doing something special. After all, Grandma can't put up a photo of one sister without putting up one of the other. That's just the way it works.


Soon after, I received these photos of Maddie along with the following explanation from her Dad:


"Here is Maddie doing her mopping chore and on the phone calling 911. Yep. That’s right. I received a call from the sheriffs office and they asked what our emergency was. I said there was no emergency. I then asked the girls and Maddie said she called 911. No in particular reason for calling them. She just thought it would be neat."


I'm guessing that Maddie now knows the difference between a real emergency and "neat."

Zach's New Glasses

Zachary has joined the ranks of grandkids who wear glasses. He got his a couple of weeks ago, and I think they look pretty spiffy. Spiffy is a word from my Father's generation, which has since been replaced with the word "Cool." But I like "Spiffy." My kids used to say that things looked pretty "Spinorty." I think they made that word up, but I'm not sure. At any rate, Zach looks good in his new glasses. His mother tells me that he says he has gotten used to wearing them already, and that is good. It usually takes a little time before one is not constantly aware of new glasses on one's face, so Zach is ahead of the game.




The rest of these photos are ones that I stole from Jill's Facebook pages. I am not sure of the stories behind them, but I enjoy looking at them. Jill now lets me know when she adds more photos, telling me that they are there for me to swipe. Her Aunt Janet has gotten in on the act as well, letting me know that she would be posting some photos this evening, so now I will have more to steal. Such fun. One can never, ever have too many family photos. Even if one has to steal them!
