My Beautiful Grandma Mary

I love both of my Grandmas very much!

I miss this Grandma. She has Alzheimer's Disease and is no longer able to chat on the phone with me. I haven't seen her in a long time. But, I still love her and wish I could just be with her to hold her hand and chat with her in person. She always makes me laugh! She is energetic and social. Even as her brain is failing her. I love you, Grandma Mary!

We had a blast this summer with my cousin, Rob.
He spent more than 2 months with us.
He trained in Jujitsu with Pat and worked with James.
Rob, James and I even took the 3 older boys to Cedar Point! Fun!
We REALLY hope he will come next summer, too!

Zoo Day with the Little Guys

Things were going well.... until the rain began to pour!
We got SOAKED. But, it was a fun adventure!
(And I burned a few calories running in the rain-- full speed ahead--- to the car!)
