Neil and I had a great time visiting grandson Knox and his mom and dad today. He's growing up fast! Loves his musical mobile and laughs and "talks" and coos. All the little sounds and faces he makes are so precious! Those tiny legs and arms are always on the move. He's so lovable I could squeeze the stuffing out of him. Already looking forward to the next time we can visit. Miss you guys!
Grandson Elijah's kindergarten class studied the American Bald Eagle today. He made this nifty Bald Eagle hat and allowed me to take his picture with it on his head. He couldn't remember much about the bird until I reminded him that it is the national bird of the good old U.S. of A. His main impression of his picture of the Bald Eagle was that it looked like an Angry Bird (of Angry Birds video game fame). I think he's right. It's that arched eyebrow. It's a fitting symbol of our great nation (sorry, Ben Franklin, not the turkey, of all things). Here's a link if you want to learn more about the American Bald Eagle--a fascinating (if not angry) bird.
