Fun with Granny and Poppa

We spent the last few days in Ptbo. with the parents/grandparents. It was a winter wonderland and, as always, Kismet moved right in and made herself at home. I swear, that dog thinks I am the cruelest person alive... depriving her of her "true" home.

The boys had a wonderful time, although Charley had a belly ache and was a bit crabby for part of the visit. Nevertheless, we managed many wonderful photos of the gang. (Many, many, many.... sorry! Couldn't leave any out.)

Two baby cousins

Evy tries out the J.J. for the first time. She was a tiny star!

She gives that "Of course you love me!" look...

Just TRY and get a cute loving picture of these boys.... Doesn't happen. You get Sammy, about to be pushed, with a wash cloth on his head.

Ditto:

Sammy managed to work himself under the (awesome vintage!) high chair. Charley just managed to look adorable (and, like, 5 years old!).

While Sammy sleeps, Mom and Charley took to the snowy hill.

"Follow me, boy! We shall slide and be merry".


Kismet proves she's game for a good frolic. Really... she doesn't even look like a dog!

Moving at a great speed down the hill.

Baby bail. Har har har dee har har... I will laugh at this photo, even if I look at it 100 times.

"Poised, dignified, proud. I am a baby to be marveled."

"But, don't mess with Bubba".

Breaking news! Baby ousted from swing by behemoth!

Aunty Yumyum to the rescue!

Finding a treasure box at Great-granny's house. (The funny thing is that I played with many of these things when I was Charley's age!).

Visiting Great Aunt Vi and her silly doggy, Otis.

Charley always has the BEST outings when in the 'Borough.

Boys splash.

And, boys crash.

The kids, with their kids.

Thanks to Granny and Poppa for letting us turn your world upside-down, yet again. We appreciate the love, food, prezzies, sleep-ins, etc.

Now, to deal with the frigid winter that has descended upon us. Sigh...
