Best Day

"The best days you live are the ones you spend loving other people." - Joyce Meyer/Daily Devotion

(Remembering your visit.  I love you Penn.)

Laugh

Grandma Jeanne doesn't make it a point of laughing at someone's misery, but there are just some times when I can't help it.  This was one of them.

Friends

Brandon (holding LillaMai), Christopher (holding Murphy) & You

Grandma  Jeanne came across these pictures she had taken March 16th when you were here visiting.  The photos were taken at Aunt Lise and Uncle Ty's apartment.  Two friends, (nurses Aunt Lise worked with), had stopped by to say good bye  before moving. 

Posing for pictures were interrupted as we all enjoyed you and Murphy dashing back & forth.  Finally it all came together and we were able to get the five of you in the picture.  Fun times :).

Spiegel im Spiegel

"We cannot see what is in the heart of another person.  Maybe he is a holy man, and I can only see that he is wearing a wrong jacket."  [Arvo Part] 

(Arvo Part is an Estonian composer, this piece is a favorite of grandma Jeanne's)

Sunday

Today Grandpa Willard & I took the train into Chicago... 

 

Our first stop was coffee (of course) at Intelligentsia

Then onto Michigan Avenue

 

Teavana (Imperial Aci Blueberry ice tea sweetened with German Rock Sugar)

Lunch at the Big Bowl

 

Our fortunes for the day (perfect)

 Apple Store

 Time flew by and soon it was time to head home

 ...but not without another cup of coffee.

Kitty Seat?

When I am at my desk, Gray Kitty likes to jump up, walk all over my key board, or stares at my screen with his tail in my face and then sometimes lays down on my keyboard. Today he found his Kitty Seat.

Babysittting LillaMai

Treating my assistant, Murphy.

Cold artichokes...

The photographer - amateur

Expressions...

Trying to suck in those chunky cheeks

Changing the diaper...

Gave up on keeping the hat straight.

Sleeping

Nap time

Little siesta

Resting the eyes.

Today was grandma Jeanne's first day on the job; babysitting LillaMai. Murphy stayed close by to make sure I did everything right and was treated for his efforts. He also made sure he barked at "every" truck he heard.

There were bottle feedings, rewarming my lunch, funny faces that made me laugh out loud, the diaper duty with those wiggly legs. Biggest challenge was trying to keep the pooh hat straight - I gave up.

We had sleep, naps, seistas...it was a good day!
