Hello everyone! Here are pictures from our two trips to see T.L. and J.A. and the girls! The first trip was for me to spend time with the girls while Grandpa helped them get their house ready to sell. Would anyone like to live 1 1/2 blocks from Lake Superior in a nice small town just 20 minutes from Duluth? The second trip was for Bug's 7th birthday party! We had a really fun day with lunch, shopping, treats and gifts! We made ice cream for dessert and it was GOOD! Here are pics form both trips:

I brought brand new crayons and my coloring books from home. Always a treat to have new crayons! :)

We are coloring in their new eating area in the newly remodeled kitchen. I didn't realize that the little pantry that was there took up so much space!

Even Smidge got in on the coloring!

Bean took pictures of everyone with her Christmas camera!

Bean and I were watching Bug play on her Christmas laptop!

Holding Smidge and playing with Barbies!

This was a first for me! Smidge spent a lot of time on my lap!

Bug trying to figure something out!

Here is Bean playing on Bug's laptop!

Smidge playing peek-a-boo!

Bean playing on the Wii, Bug on her laptop and grandma watching while Daddy did some work!

Shhhh! Don't tell Grandpa's boss, but Bug wanted to eat lunch at Erberts and Gerberts! It wasn't as good as Subway, though! ;)

A second sooner and this would have been a perfect picture!

Now you get to see the newest missing tooth! She's still our lovely brown-eyed girl! :)

Just so you would know that BUG thought the food was fantastic! :)

Smidge in the new dress that Grandma made for her!

There's a smile!

Smidge liked her "eyes"! That's what she called her sun glasses!

Opening presents!

Smidge wondered how to put these things on!

We are so blessed to have the 8 healthy, happy grandchildren! I will be traveling to Israel next Monday and coming back on April 21. I KNOW I'll have plenty of pictures to post then! Then the next birthday celebration will be for T and Zoo the end of April! Enjoy the Spring weather, whenever it comes back! :)

Shalom in Him!
