Nicole's Baby Shower

Saturday was Nicole's Baby Shower. She is such a cutie! It's hard to believe she's all grown up and having a cutie of her own! Her baby is due in October. Erin and I went together and had a very nice time! I got a cute picture of the cousins:

Joanne, Erin & Nicole.

The Call

I blogged Ethan's night out separately because I didn't want to detract from his accomplishments; but we recieved a phone call that night from Dublinair Nursing Home. My grandmother had just passed away. She went quietly in her sleep. She was 98 years old. Her 99th birthday would have on Halloween. I had mixed emotions. Her health the past few years was failing, and it was hard to watch her live the way she did. I knew her passing was the best thing for her. She certainly had more friends and relatives on the other side than she did here. But still, I will miss her-we all will. I will write my memories of her seperatly.

Ethan's Night Out

Our dear sweet Ethan earned straight As all year on his report cards! He also earned the citizenship reward on his last report card. We are so proud of him! So last night he asked if he could have a sleep over at our house. We all had a nice time. We went out to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. He said that was his favorite place to go out to dinner. It took a while to fill him up, but we did! Then we went to Best Buy and he picked out a game for the Nintendo as a reward for his hard work. We hope he always does his best in school! He is a great kid!

We got to babysit Shelby and Colt last Friday night! Shelby and Grandpa picked grapes and filled the hummingbird feeders! Colten played with Grandma. Erin, Ethan and Aidan dropped by for a few minutes. We were able to get a few good pictures of active kids! After dinner we all played some more and then watched "A Muppet Christmas Carol." We don't know about Shelby and Colt, but we were worn out!!
