Good morning all, Happy Hump Day!
Thank you, Anna and Andrea, Yes grandson time is the best. Chrissy's son Aidan will be 8 years old on Saturday. He often flies as an Unaccompanied minor now. But he doesn't like it. It is an 8 hour flight from CA to VI.
I have another grandson by my oldest daughter Liz. And she is pregos now and due in July.
My youngest daughter Marsha is 19 and lives in the Midwest, I get along with all my kids better now. But I never thought my kids would be spread out all over the country! Anna, unfortunately Liz and Chrissy do not approve of Marsha's fiance so they don't talk to her much.

Hello Ladies,
Sorry I haven't been on here the last several days!! Since this is our last week in San Diego we've been cramming in all the things we wanted to do and people we wanted to visit that we couldn't do with all the wedding activities. I have walked more parts of this city these past few days then I've done in months and months!!! Tomorrow we rent bikes in Coronado and bike the island. It's amazing how many of these places I've never seen in as much detail as now as a tourist!!!! Yesterday we toured the aircraft carrier USS Midway. I kept joking with hubby that if the Navy would let me serve on a ship 40 years ago I could handle all those ladders, hatchways, and walking from one end to another so much easier!!!!!
I've been trying to keep caught up with everyone.
Vickyrun,
So happy to hear things are so much better with two of your children. Maybe they can help the youngest one come around. And to have grandson time - icing on the cake!!!
Jappy,
So sorry for the loss of your friend!! Prayers for you and your friend's family.
Jean,
Love that picture!! When I first saw it I thought we was suspended on the side of a mountain like you see mountain climbers do sometime. Someone has an excellent eye for unique picture taking!!!
Catsmom,
Congrats to your girl on her first test!!! Will continue to keep her in my prayers!!
Hope everyone else is doing good!!! Another couple days and we will be back on the road and just staying here and there for a day or two!! But for now - trying to get it all in!!!!!

Catsmom...BZ to Crystal on her test, hoping her class load will be light when you get there and you get some much needed one on one time with her!!! Continued prayers
Jean...what an adorable picture! Doctors psssh as long as she is healthy and happy...Rachael was never on those stupid charts I don't even think she wore a large diaper before she potty trained LOL Hope they don't stress Christina out with all their gobbly gook...every child doesn't fit into their cookie cutter mold! Good thing Grandma is there to help sort out the info ;-)
Jappy...so sorry for your loss ((HUGS)) to you my sister

Jean such a cute picture! She is so adorable! Crystal was the same way. You can't foce them to eat. That sounds like a lot of food for 7 months. LOL Good luck to Christina getting her to eat, I never could with Crystal. :-)

Good morning all, Cute baby, Jean. Looks healthy to me.

Good Morning to Everyone.
Sorry Jappy, My phone changed your name. It does that if it doesn't like what was typed.
Aurora is doing great. The doctors kept telling Christina that she needs to feed the baby more. How can you do that when the baby doesn't want to eat that much food. Apparently, in the morning you are suppose to feed her a BIG bowl of cereal and then through the day 3 jars of baby food as well as nurse her too. For what Christina told me I couldn't even eat that much food. So how can a 7 month old eat that much. LOL. So she is to skinny and very long. She is a height of a 12 month old. I will try and find another picture. I just haven't been on my computer lately. My phone doesn't down load them very well.
