YESTERDAY and TODAY

MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY: We had a terrific day with Jaden on Wednesday. He is such a big boy, and we love him dearly. He had a lot of playtime all morning: first with Grandpa outside where I found them having a big time:



We took Jaden for an early lunch at McDonald's (Jaden's request) and had so much fun watching him play with other children in the big indoor playplace. He ate a good lunch and played his heart out. I so much enjoyed sitting there watching him and enjoying the moment with Richard. I told Jaden that we had spent many-a-Wednesday-lunchtime alone and wasn't it nice to have Grandpa with us. Jaden agreed wholeheartedly. Proof:

After McDonald's, we came home. Jaden got a good bath and slept for nearly 3 hours. When he woke up, it was time to get teeth brushed and dressed for dinner and church with his family.



TODAY'S DOINGS: After all of my angst about Wednesday being our last "regular day" to keep Jaden (with school getting out today and his precious Mommy home with the kids for the summer and then his going to kindergarten in August)~~ we are picking up all four of the kids when they get out of school at 1:00 today. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will have a FUN afternoon for them around here with swimming, biking, playing, sleeping, etc. I pray they have a wonderful summer full of God's best blessings.

Late this morning, Richard and I are going out for brunch and then our last shopping spree for our last-minute things for the trip. We fly out on Sunday morning! I want to have all of the packing done and everything ready by Friday night so we are relaxed on Saturday. It's a great day in the cul-de-sac!!

The kids just came out of their house on their way to their last morning of school. Josh was all dressed up because he is playing his trumpet in this morning's assembly at 9:15. Grandpa and I didn't know about that so we have to "hoof it" to get showered, dressed, and out the door to go see our Grandson play. Here is this morning's video made on the last day of school. You will have to forgive them for being sooooooooooooooooooo excited..........



Grandpa Richard and I went to the 9:15 assembly to see Josh play in the band. We were so far back and I haven't even viewed the video but will load it here for posterity. His head is right in front of the microphone stand:



And then this afternoon at 1:00, I picked up the kids from school. Their last day. I made a couple of vidoes of Jaden. I knew the older three wouldn't appreciate my photography work in front of their friends as they all waited on their rides. The first video is of Jaden in the "reading room" waiting on me to pick him up:




And a sweet picture of Jaden with his afternoon teacher. Jaden calls her "Miss Norse" but it is really pronounced "Norris." My last picture of the last day of school for our Grandkids..........
