“Grandchildren don’t make
a woman feel old
It’s being married to a
grandfather that bothers her.”
Grandma Jan
Our
San Diego family needed a babysitter.
Our daughter and her husband are finally at a place in their lives where
they can break away from routine and get away alone for a few days at a
time. It blessed us to have little
three-year old Amy for a few days here with us in Arizona.
Everything Changes When a
Three Year Old Visits.
The
uncanny triple digit heat wave nixed our outdoor plans. Amy loves animals and we live close to Out of
Africa, a wildlife park and zoo. We
couldn’t take Amy with her fair complexion.
We did, however, visit the indoor swimming pool. Watching Amy running gleefully under the pop
up sprays and loving the water slide put a big smile on my face.
Interesting
to hear Papa’s version of Cinderella.
Did you know that Cinderella called her dog “Bruno?” Me either.
Bye,
bye, Bruno and I am missing her already!
“No
cowgirl was ever faster on the draw
than a grandma pulling baby pictures out of
her handbag.”

Cinderella and Bruno ... I love it!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, but Amy's exuberance and joy pops out from these images. She's such a doll, and I know she brings such glee to your lives. Thank you for sharing these images, sweet friend!
I love Papa's rendition of Cinderella! Very creative! Amy is so adorable! I bet it was hard to say goodbye to her (and I bet you took an afternoon nap if she took an afternoon nap, LOL :) They are full of energy and never stop going, do they? Looked like fun was had by all during your time of caring for her :)

ReplyDeleteThe last picture, Amy patting the dog, is priceless.

Awwww....such a sweet post, and the photos are beautiful. Priceless treasures.
ReplyDeleteOh this post put a big Pile of Smile on my face. Love it! I am laughing right now at Papa's story with BRUNO! Precious memories made. A friend told me once dear Mary to make as many memories as I could because one day they would keep me company. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
