Donuts

It's the day before Thanksgiving and all through the house not a creature was.... Oh yea that's the wrong holiday. Today we had to go and pick up our Thanksgiving pies and we had our most able assistant Grant along with us. We just couldn't complete this errand without him.
Now Grant has been to the donut shop before and knows just what to do when we get there. We get out of the car and tell the dogs we will be back real soon. Then Grant takes Farmors hand and we proceed into the donut shop. His eyes light up as sees all the goodies, pies, cookies, cupcakes and his favorite the donuts.
I tell him he can pick out one and he studies them closely through the glass being sure to leave his finger prints on every inch he can. The women behind the counter must love it when the little ones come in. After going up and down several times he finds just the right one with white frosting and multiple colored sprinkles on top.
We go to the table with his donut and mine and he sits down just like a grown up and immediately pulls both donuts in front of him. You see he likes the chocolate old fashion donut that I also love and begins to devour both donuts. He takes several bites then goes for his ice water just like a pro hardly spilling a drop.
The ladies at the next table can not take their eyes off of him and tell me how cute and well behaved he is. I suppose you can fool some of the people all of the time. Anyway Grant had a great time and really did behave himself. Here is a short video highlighting this adventure.

Home Coming

Mike and Jennie's twins have come home. On November 21, 2008 Elsa and Saga made the ride home with two very proud and happy parents. Mom and dad report that they survived the first night and the girls are putting on weight. If you haven't seen all their pictures here is a slide show highlighting their arrival.

Trip to Town

I just had to share this short story and pictures with you. Today Eivor, Grant and I had some errands to run. We packed up the car and loaded the dogs and headed off to town. Our first stop was at Pilgrim Pie's where we ordered our Thanksgiving pie and of course had to sample some of their other goodies.
Grant had a cupcake, Eivor some cheese cake and I had a donut. Grant tried his cup cake and just loved it but as soon as he saw Eivor bring me my chocolate old fashion donut he just had to have that too. He really liked the donut eating it like a real pro, breaking off bite size pieces and gobbling them down. He washed this down with real ice water with real ice cubes in it and did a really good job of it. Hardly any water on him and he chewed all the ice cubes up.
Then we were off to our next stop at the pet store to get some dog food. Well that was like taking him to the toy store all these neat toys to test and kittens to visit with. Check out the pictures of him and the fire hydrant.
Well our errands were done so we came home and Grant just had to drive the Lexus so in he went. Starting the car turning on the radio and adjusting all the knobs. I hope you enjoy these photo's as much as Grant did living them.

Grandson Brushes His Teeth

This is the long version DVD quality of Brush This! first shown on Little "G"s blog. It has one more location filmed on another day. I enjoy these pictures as Grant discovers it can be fun to brush ones teeth. You may notice that I capture some interesting views by getting his reflection in the mirror.

If you have the time

I've posted two videos on Grants blog featuring his adventures at Oma's house this past week. Due to its longer length I'm posting this video of "G" and Ricki playing on the tennis court here on my blog. The video is made from still pictures so you won't be able to hear the sounds that they are both making what a shame. You miss lots of play barking, laughing and screams of joy.

The Girls Have Names

Mike and Jennie have named their twin girls Elsa and Saga. I have added the newest pictures to the slide show. Here is the latest E-Mail from Mike and Jennie.
"Hi all sending a couple more pictures. Babies are doing great, very stable and healthy. They are soo sweet we can hardly stay away. We spend most of our time with them in NICU. They will be in the incubator for a while, they are too small to stay warm by themselves. I am doing fine, much better than I thought I would after having surgery. I am walking around a little today. We have named the girls Elsa and Saga. Hope you all are well."
