Five Weeks of Fun



February 26 - Ron picked up Nana at the Springfield airport.
March 24 - Ron picked up Papa at the airport.
It ended by dropping of Nana and Papa back at the airport on Friday April 2.

We owe a lot to a mom that would drop her own life for five weeks and come shower love on us all. And to Papa who flew on an airplane for the first time in so long that none of us can remember the last time. So, we will always remember the fun. Thanks to both Nana and Papa for coming and making new memories.

I remember . . .
Sam: Breakfast at McDonald's, long car trips, Nana getting lost a lot, Grand Gulf park, throwed rolls

Zach: McDonald's, Papa's gloves, walks with Papa and finding rocks, gum from Nana, Yahtzee, Scrabble Word, the circus, Nana never going downstairs, and Nana smooching me

Maggie: McDonald's, Qwirkle, Blokus, Yahtzee, Scrabble Word, gum from Nana, Nana sleeping in my bed, the circus, word search with Papa, peas porridge hot, walking with Papa outside, April Fools joke on Papa, Nana helping baby, Papa sleeping in Casey's bed

Casey: McDonald's, Qwirkle, Blokus, Yahtzee, watching Max and Ruby and Starwars, getting Nana her slippers, Nana giving me gum, going on walks with Papa, Alley Spring, hiking, Mammoth Spring, the circus, Nana picking me up from school

Jill: Princess books from Nana, Viola Swamp book with Papa, walk with Papa, play Yahtzee, watch Snow White with Nana, "I miss Nana so much"

Ron and Katie: Missouri disagreeing with Nana, lots and lots of baby holding, not having to load up kids everywhere, dinner by ourselves, blue milk for Papa, kindness and a debt that can never be repaid

Thanks again for everything. We all love you both!!

Wait until you have grandchildren, and you will realize that I receive much more than I give when I can spend time with my grandchildren. I adore them. They make me laugh and feel young and loved. They are truly awesome spirits from our Father in Heaven. I love you all very much.

McDonalds always brings happiness--especially with Nana! Lucy needs a Casey fix. She and Liza nag me almost daily about when it will be time to see their friends again. I feel the same. We are mighty jealous of Nana.
