Grandma and the Cricut

 I've had a vinyl cutting machine of one brand or another for 6 or 7 years.

I really didn't use them much until grandkids came along.

I did monthly baby shirts...

birthday shirts...

And even holiday shirts...

(the shirts were good, the kids were not)

Henry's dad (Tony) is a Nationwide agent.

Henry is obsessed with Nationwide.

He even tells the knock-knock joke:

Knock-Knock

Who's there?

Nationwide

Nationwide who?

Nationwide is on your side.

Mindy and I were talking,

she thought Henry would enjoy a Nationwide shirt.

Like this?

He was delighted.

So was Luca...

On Sunday Tony and I were talking about Blue's Clues.

Henry loves it and while he was napping, Mindy made him 'clues' out of construction paper...

That gave me an idea...

A Blue's Clues shirt.

Oh, yes, he's playing golf with MeMaw's walking stick!

Don't stand still, MeMaw will probably decorate you.

~sigh~

Grandma Life!

Locklan's Big Day!

 Last Saturday most of us headed for the river...

Andy and Ashley decided they were headed Lernerville, our local dirt track.  

For their back to school special.

They had both school bus races and kid's bicycle races.

Locklan, who is usually the least competive kid,

entered the bicycle race...

He came in third!

Congrats, champ. Grandma Jan is so proud of you!

Happy Anniversary, Tony and Mindy!

Just a year ago, we celebrated this...

Today they are not only celebrating their first anniversary...

But celebrating this...

As well!

It's been a heck of a year for them...

Congrats, you two...

We love you!

Heavenly celebrations...

Do they celebrate birthdays in heaven?

 

Probably not since we're all promised eternal life...

 

So I'll continue to celebrate, in my own way, depending on the year...

 

Happy birthday, Mark!

 

Today you would have celebrated your 59th birthday.

 

 

 

 

We never got to say good bye to you...

 

Most of the time I think it's just as well...

 

What would we say?

 

Just what I hope you already knew...

 

You are loved...

 

We miss you!

 

 

 

Jan, Andy, Tony...and now there is Ashley, Mindy and Locklan!
