we can do it, yes we can

Gideon, Hudson, Layton, and Brielle
We can do it, yes we can...grandma and grandpa have it all under control.

A very rare moment this past two weeks, when all four grands are on the couch "reading" at the same time.  Special thanks to Brielle whose idea was to pretend they are on a trip, she is the driver of the car/bus/train or whatever it was...:)

GIDEON

ELISEA

We are in PA taking care of the grandchildren while mom and dad are in Israel.   After three days, I feel like I am getting ready to star in the next "Daddy Day Care" movie.   Elisea is a little baby doll of a girl at 10 months.   Gideon is a little boy who just turned 2 - what else can I say? LOL    Hudson and Layton love to play together with toy trains  -  all the live long day.   And Brielle , the oldest , is going to school every day. She rides a bus (van) to and from school.
