Some Niece and Nephew Moments...

My sister's oldest son, Elliot, got engaged! Here he is proposing to Grace.

...and here is the happy (musical) couple at the (musical) proposal site!


Here is another story:

The weekend of September 19-21 Lee and I had my great-nieces and great-nephew over for the weekend to give Jenny some time to recover from minor surgery. We had a GREAT time with the kids. Here they are having breakfast:

Next story:

A few weeks ago Matt and Jenny had us over for dinner. I was holding Isaac. I asked for a kiss and he came at me with his mouth kinda open so I said, "Isaac, look at my lips. Do it like this" and here is what he did:

Then this:

When he gave me a "puckered" kiss I said, "Ooh, I love it!" and he kissed me again. I said,
"I just love it!" and he did it again! This went on for a few more "I love its" and a few more kisses. It was so funny and sweet. Matt walked by and said that it was going to be on me that Isaac learned this! What are great-aunties for? Love on him, pinch his cheeks, kiss him and spoil him! :) I love this kid!

After the kids went to bed, Matt, Jenny, Lee

and I all played Uno Attack.

Here is Matt after getting "attacked" with cards (again!):

And here is Jenny after moving her headband to be a "hippie headband" I obliged her and didn't post the picture of her doing the peace sign :) I love you Miss Jenny!!

We had a great time!! And the ribs for din-din and creme brulee' for dessert were fab!
