a fun gift

"Smile for your Gramma!"

Yeah.

And then after lunch when I tried to catch a few zzzs, she poked me in the face and took away my covers.   I said, "Be nice to your Grandma. Let's hug and snug and be nice together."

She said, "no."

Well, then.

Then she ate Lucky Charms and burped in Kari's face.

Here is the gift-- this fun device is, in the hands of a pro:

We found Google Earth on this thing and they've been to Niagara Falls, the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, Denali, a fancy building in Cambodia, and found most of the homes of our relatives.

He's just himself.

Sigh.

Cute.

They looked up that place Kirsten lived at in Scotland, and also their grandparents' house, and where their older siblings all live now. We looked at the roof of the mall.

Woo Hoo.

And yet also somehow a bit miraculous.

Here she's probably checking the weather forecast, looking at that serious face.

Onward!   Life is nothing but good.  love, Val
