News From the Homefront

 

Every week when we take the trip up to sit the Grands I pack a big bag of my knitting. I barely touch it. We do work on puzzles....



...and make Cootie Catchers. We also had a visit from my sister and her two Grands. Toddler Grand was thrilled to have the company of someone that wasn't old or grumpy.




Baby Grand is still a handful. He's decided napping is not his thing. He's working hard at figuring how to get around to see what everyone else is doing. I see a playpen in his future. 





And progress was made with the elusive kitty. What a glorious chunk she is when she's out in full view.




I was even allowed a tentative scritch or two. We're not exactly friends but at least she's allowing me to know she exists.

  1. Kitty progress has been made!

    Cootie Catcher crack me up! I think we called them fortune tellers.

  2. I am so grateful to have regular time with our grands but I am finding I am in need of a nap of my own after they go home 😉

  3. Such a cute kitty!! Iris isn't napping very well either. She's not walking and not crawling, but sits well and then gets bored! Keeping up with her is tiring for sure.

  4. The Grands are adorable and I'm glad Elusive Kitty has come out for some scritches. She may be sitting on your lap and purring next week!

  5. She does look a little judgmental in the scritch photo...

    The Grands are adorable.

  6. You have some really cute grands. :-) I never knew those things were called cootie catchers! That's hilarious.
    I'm glad Miss Kitty has decided that you're okay to be there now.
    Blessings and hugs,
