GRANDKIDS ARE GREAT

While Noel and Molly were in San Diego
we got to keep Elliott with us.
Noel was attending seminars concerning his work at the hospital here.
Molly went along and enjoyed some time to herself, a change from
her hectic busy life at home.
Johnathan and Carl were kept busy with school and work and tennis, so were
able to batch it at home.
But 5th grade Elliott came to stay with us.
We really enjoyed having him with us. We spent lots of time
playing Catan (when he wasn't in school), the board game we learned while visiting
Jana and Kris and their 3 boys in Indonesia.

Cookie was especially glad to have Elliott at her house every day!

Elliott started Upwards flag football the week he was with us.
This is on the new field our church has put in.
That's Elliott in the grey shirt, getting ready to catch the football.

Elliott is now taking violin at school.
Cookie was fascinated with the sound when Elliott practiced!

We had a fun week together.

  3. I remember the first time I called him that (when he was tiny) and he answered "I'm not a Cutie Pie". and I said, "Oh yes you are. You can't help it. You just are!" and from then on he accepted it!
