The magnolias blooming tell us spring has sprung.
They make you want to sit outside and enjoy.
The sunsets bring peace to your days.
Nolan and Grampa are assembling the drill press he got
from his children and grandchildren.

Gramma and Nolan are anxious to know what he will do with it.
Nolan likes to make parking lots with his favorite cars.
Seth keeps very close to Grampa anytime he is in the kitchen.
He is pleased when Grampa shares a piece of cheese with him.
We have resorted to trying to keep Seth out of the kitchen
when dinner is being prepared.
If he's there, he tries to crawl into his highchair,
If he's not in the kitchen, he's trying to get there.
He has a large snack at 3:00 PM,
but he can tell time, by the smell of food.
So, now we head outside or to the basement.
Nolan is being taught to NOT go into the street.
He wants the rules clarified.
If his body is still in the yard, isn't he technically NOT in the street?
He takes time to smell the grass.
If he can still touch the yard,
is he technically NOT in the street?
If his knees are still on the curb,
is he technically NOT in the street?
He likes using Gramma's magnifying glass.
It helps him select the perfect sticker.
Seth thinks he might rather be in the kitchen
helping Grampa make dinner.
We started out with Nolan on his tricycle.
He decided he preferred to push Seth.
Gramma is NOT riding the tricycle,
but she is dragging it along.
Nolan decided he prefers to push his empty tricycle.
Seth is getting heavier, and it takes a lot of muscle to push him.
Nolan is curious about everything.
Why did the neighbor put this rock here?
Where did it come from?
How did he get it here?
What's it made from?
Now that Nolan is walking,
Gramma is pushing Seth and dragging Nolan's tricycle.
Meanwhile, Seth is thinking,
"How far are we from home?
Isn't it dinner time, yet?"
Nolan wants to thank Cherie Heaser for fixing his favorite book.
It's a treasury of Paul Galdone's folk tales.
They are the same stories that were read to his father.
They are a bit more graphic than some versions of the fairy tales.
It helps to teach life's lessons, if they are less saccharin.
Also, this book has a ribbon marker, so he knows what story he left off on.
Because there are so many stories, storytime lasts a long time.
News from the California Gentlemen
The boys enjoyed their baseball teams.
But more importantly,
they learned to enjoy working at new skills,
to work as a team and to be good sportsmen.
Andrew and a couple of his biggest friends.
How great it is to have a brother to share life with!
This is Nathan and Gramma sharing a piano lesson.
This takes students that love music (and their teacher),
a mother who gives 100% to being the home teacher six days a week,
and a tech crew of two of the most intelligent men I know.
It's a boys' day if cars are involved.
Reminds me of a '87 black Pulsar.
It was a little more sporty. It had T-tops.
If Nathan gets this car, where does he put the groceries?
I think after Auntie Becca totaled her red car
the engine may have been in the back, too.
