Fun with Gran'babies

I'm Back

I have been MIA from this blog for too long and I am finally going to catch up.  Much has happened since I last posted.  Most importantly I spent 2 wonderful weeks with Gus, Meara, Rosie, and Roland in their beautiful new home.  Over the next few days I am going to start posting pictures from my trip.

Family Time

Gus, Meara, Rosie, and Roland had a fun day at their new home.

Things to Remember

I have finally started hanging things on my new walls.  Today, appropriately, I came across this Mothers' Day gift from 5 year old Gus (and his wonderful teachers at Kenwood).  Now, twenty-eight years later, I am very happy to remember that he was once quite little and his hands were very small.

Happy Mother's Day to My Favorite Moms

Happy Birthday Meara!

Is It Pterodactyl Season Yet?

I spent most of the winter moving.  It was an especially snowy winter in the northeast.  Because of the cold and the snow I seemed to always use the back door.  On the rare occasions I used the front door, all I saw was snow.  Now that I am finally moved in, and the weather is almost Springlike, I am walking around my new neighborhood every day that I can.  I have recently noticed what looks from a distance like a mound of hay.

Upon closer inspection, I know that it is not a hay mound.  But I am not sure what it is.  All of the other apartments have pretty normal evergreen shrubs.

Mine is not normal, and it is surely not evergreen.  So I'm thinking it is a nest, a very large nest.  When the Pterodactyl returns to roost, I will take more pictures.
