Making Brownies

Yesterday I had the honor of

having Megan and Charlotte with me.

We needed to make brownies for

a gathering we were having today.

Megan was thrilled - and of

course wanted to help!

Megan put in the water and oil

and I got away with doing the eggs

myself - even though Gma Shirley

lets her crack the eggs.

Megan was more than ready

to help with the clean-up!

And she was a great "cleaner-upper"!!

(I know, raw eggs are a no-no -

but just this time - she'll live!)

After dinner she was very quick
to say "BROWNIES NOW!!"

So then I got to make more
brownies for the gathering today.

It was worth it to experience
Megan's love of helping!

Megan & Charlotte - picture day!

Today Kari took Megan & Charlotte

for their pictures.

Megan will be 4 in mid-August

and Charlotte is 9 months now.

Megan and Charlotte

are the oldest and the

youngest of our granchildren.

We are truly blessed with

these 5 little monkey's!!

Enjoying Disney!

Both Michelle & Mark

and

Kim & Dave took

a family vacation to Orlando.

They didn't think they would see

each other while there but

it worked out that they were

both visiting The Magic Kingdom

on the same day!

Kaitlyn makes a face as she awaits dinner.
Disney is a great place to go
when you have food allergies -
they take special care with the foods.

Seeing all this fun makes me

realize - hey I need a vacation!
