Coloring

Snowflake was up to his old tricks again this morning.  We found him on the art table where he had colored in one of the kids' coloring book.

He colors very neatly!

I went to visit my Papaw Carl today.  He was recently moved into a nursing home and I wanted to go check and see how he was doing!  Still smiling!!!

 I guilted my dad into getting his picture made with Papaw too!

Visit to the Wood Shop

On our way to visit Mamaw & Papaw, we stopped by Papaw Carl's woodshop.  Reagan and Cooper got to see Papaw Carl make the ducks that they love to play with.  They also got to learn all about the tools and even got to use some of them!

 "It's too loud!"

 I wish I had gotten a picture of Cooper's face when his papaw drilled a hole in the piece of wood ~ priceless

Reagan told me she "was sorry Papaw Carl had to loose his leg, but he looks kind of cool!"

I took a break from the Grand Opening festivities and drove down to see my Papaw Carl.  He's been in the hospital for quite a while, has recently had his right leg amputated and multiple other surgeries ~ but he is a tough man and the Lord is not through with him yet!

Even though he had surgery this morning, he was gracious enough to smile for a picture with me and my sister Kim!

Reagan and Cooper also got to visit with their great-grandfather, papaw Carl last week. Reagan hadn't seen papaw Carl in over a year and a half and it was Cooper's 1st time to meet him.
