Building memories
















Yesterday I invited Quincy and Reilly out for some Grami time. In the end I invited Shannon so she could have some special time with just her two oldest, also. Plus, I was taking them ice skating and they had never been before and I hadn't been really in about 38 years. Meghan called and canceled on me so I figured an extra hand would be necessary. Well to my surprise Reilly took to it like she'd been skating many times before and didn't need any help. She did like to monoplize her mothers' time though. Good for the both of them. Quincy did really well also, but he liked using his crutch..."helpers" that the kids could use to keep themselves balanced while learning to skate. He would really go fast with this device. We had dinner and then 2 1/2 hours of skating. I even did better as time went on. A bit nervous and wobbly at first. Shannon did very well. I love these times with each grandchild and plan on many, many more. This summer we have several hiking trips planned with Reilly, Quincy, Kassidy and Payten. I think that the mom's want to come to. We will see.
