A Little Sad

Grandpa Hicks was here to visit this past weekend and it was nice to have him but he will no longer be staying with us during the summer months. I knew this was coming because he was not here much this summer. The stairs have become harder for him and I have stairs. Every time you want to get out of my house there are stairs. I would have more than willing to have him and Hannah change rooms (Grandpa slept downstairs and Hannah on the main floor) to have him stay. It really hit me when I was downstairs after he left that there was no clothes hanging in the closet and none of his personal items on top of the dressers. It made me sad and longing for him to come back and he had just left that morning. It's a bummer to have your parents getting older.

Anna thought it would be fun playing with her food. I sent Ed the pic, and the first question was is it poop? All I could do is laugh. At less she know how to make me smile.

Kids' Schedules

So for those of you who are in the area and would like to attend, here are the activities Lexi and Merrit have going on through the end of the year. I will try to post the elementary concerts as I get more info for them.
