Fun Days with Nana.....

For those of you that don't know, when we moved we asked my mother to come and live with us too.  She gracuously accepted our offer and it was been a truly wonderful experience for us all.

Having Mum here allows us to learn and grow in a new way as we learn from her wisdom and experience and kindness.  She is constantly "doing" which i am trying to get her to learnt o relax a bit and do some of nothing too.  But she feels happiest when serving and i cannot fault her for that as that is what we all should be doing.

Anyway one of the things that has been happening since "Nana" has been here is that our "outings" are much more fun.  The children LOVE having her around to talk to and ask, ask, ask questions of and quite frankly, so do i.  It's amazing how much your daily activities are enriched when you have another adult to talk to.  :-)

Parks, and the zoo, and walks with Mollie-Moo-Moo (as Jack calls my mother's Newfoundland dog) are just a few of the regular things we do.  Here's a few of the pics to show, and yes, Jack is in his underwear at the park.  He decided that it would be a good idea to copy Iman and Edy and go in the stream, except he didn't realize that it would be knee deep on him....sheesh!  ;-)

 The kids thought the bird show was awesome!  This little guy could talk and Sarah especially thought it was the coolest thing ever!
