2010-10-23: David enjoying time with G-ma & G-pa S
It's been awhile since posting here.... We've enjoyed so many fun times with David who now tells us he is 3 and 1/2 but soon I am four! Maybe someday I will post some of those fun times but don't hold your breath.
Last Saturday David and I were drawing on the driveway with chalk. (I was entertaining him while the others were cutting the lumber for the shelves for a storage unit.) Such fun we had-- besides him riding his scooter and bike down the sidewalk.

2010-5-9: Mother's Day-fun time with David D @ the park
After meeting David and his parents at a restaurant at noon, we took David to our home for the afternoon to enjoy time with him as his mother had to work at her new job as a CNA at a near-by care center for the evening. I took him to our park. We walked so far until "carry me"! I carried this "big" boy about a block until we reached the sidewalk leading to the park. Then he ran ahead to show me how fast he can run in his 'fast light tennis shoes'!! What energy!! The park has so many fun things to do. He loved going on these bars, down the slide, on the swing, etc. Grandpa did come to pick us up as this grandma knew she couldn't carry him home about 3 blocks!! Because of the sun and his light complextion he wears his hat. The weather was only in the mid 50's so a little cool.
Hi! Grandma!
When we got home we played with some balls, rolling down the hill in our backyard, playing in this car and just being active. (I reminiscenced to growing up days where I along with my friends would push my brother's many go-carts! and now here I was pushing my grandson!!...not right!) On the way back to his home I asked him if he would fall asleep in my car, "No" but about 2 blocks from his house he was fast asleep. I must have worn him out! I enjoyed a good night of sleep too!
It was a fun afternoon.
I love not only being a wife and mom but also being a grandma!

This evening when we were together with David his Mommie said David had a surprise for us. He knows his numbers from one to ten but the alphabet was never consistent. Watch what David can now do with help from his mommie!!

2010-1-27: David D..playing house...
As David and his Mommie came to my door he rang my door bell, and when Gumma opened it he walked in with these sunglasses on saying, "it's sunny outside! I need my sunglathses (sunglasses) on!.. Gumma: "Really?... "Yeth!"
Recently I've noticed some of the toys I have here, David seems to have outgrown so into our crawl space we went to look for some "old" toys. Found this cupboard Grandpa Eastvold made for Kari and Julie many years ago when we would visit at Ray & Mil Trochmann's farm up in northern MN. WE also found some former dishes, etc. plus this play apron. David seemed to have a great time making food! He could really stir!

2009-12-17&18: Visit from Lane S. family plus David D "helping" Penny make lefse
Thursday after work I picked up Chuck & Penny at the airport. They will spend Christmas with us plus visit their daughter, Sara, who is in nurse's training in Rochester, Mn. Friday I took as a vacation day so we could make lefse. A couple days ago Penny's nephew, Lane, called to ask for an overnight stay at our house for he, his wife and baby daughter. I knew how much Penny would enjoy this oportunity to meet her Grand-niece, Hannah (about 3 months old) and parents. We had a grand time enjoying such a little one in the house!
no lack of arms to hold & cuddle baby Hannah!
the happy family

little David wanted to roll some lefse..
He wanted to flip the lefse over to roll some more.
He felt he learned how already to flip it...
"I fips it!"
