Nolan was disturbed that the decal of the light switch on his new kitchen set
at Gramma's didn't have a switch that would flip.
After making the situation clear to Grampa,
the project took shape.
Nolan kept a close eye on Grampa,
but didn't want to get too close.
Nolan was at home in Home Depot.
We didn't have much to put in our basket there just a light switch plate.
But Nolan thought the large cart was a good idea.
Back at home, Nolan was willing to get much closer.
He was thrilled with the end result.
"Grampa, I found a screw you might need."
Later in the afternoon, Grampa went to the race track.
Nolan siezed the opportunity to try Grampa's remotes (he has four of them).
He insists on wearing his hat, even in the house.
When our children were in grade school,
we stopped at a diner on our way to Dubuque.
I told my boys to remove their hats in the restaurant.
Matt looked around the restaurant and said,
"All the other men in here have their hats on."
I explained their mothers hadn't taught them to take their hats off.
Gramma was surprised when she wasn't able to get any of the remotes to do anything,
but Nolan managed to turn on his Baby Einstein DVD.
"I think I should have gone to the racetrack with Grampa."
Gramma and Daddy took Nolan to Wauconda Fest.
Nolan was delighted with the noise, the people and the lights.
Daddy needs a fedora. His birthday is coming.
News from Our California Crew
To encourage the boys' reading we send rebus emails
that are mostly limited to three letter words.
It's like writing in a foreign language.
But we love corresponding with them.
Nathan and Andrew responded to our email....
Dear Gramma and Grampa: (as dictated to Mommy)
From Andrew: We like your message. We will see you in the summer. Nathan and I switch the top bunks every day.
Love
Spiderboys

From Nathan:
I don't know how you did those pictures, but I sure do like them. My muscles look big in that message.
Love,
Nathan
