A great day at the museum...
We had a wonderful time today at the Louisville Science Museum. Leo, Gus, Jacob and myself played, explored and ran ourselves all over the entire museum. The boys had a blast, not knowing which way to turn first. After an exhausting 2 plus hours we headed out to lunch, as Leo said, mom's favorite restaurant, Salsaritas. We inhaled our lunch, chatted for a while and then we went to Leo's favorite store...Target. He needed two new toys...one for him and one for Gus. They both got a little something along with Jacob!! It was a fun day for everyone and I'm heading to bed early!!

Thank you again...
Let me take a moment to Thank everyone for their kind thoughts, prayers and words for my family during this difficult time. My dad was a wonderful person, who will be deeply missed. It is still very hard to wrap the reality around my mind and heart. I ran across this poem by an unknown author that I read often to help me. Here it is:
The day God called you home
God looked around his Garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth
and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful,
he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult,
he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine"
and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping
so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth
to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories,
your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children,
you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
on the day God called you home.

Sophia, Sophia, Sophia everywhere...
Nana couldn't close out this blog without slipping in a few adorable pictures of her other lovely, adorable, sweet pea, granddaughter, Ms. Matilda!

What a great day...
We had a very full day of activities today. It started out a little rough but quickly smoothed over with play, reading, fun activities, lunch, St. Patrick's day cookie treat and then a trip to one of my favorite places, Henry's Ark. As Leo-man pointed out to me several times, "Nana, it is a zoo too. It has different animals but it is still a zoo." He is such a bright young man. We arrived about 1:30 and didn't get home until about 4:45. The boys had a blast running freely, dodging puddles and poop! What more could little boys want?
time with them. They are great children. We are so lucky!

Family fun at the Bellarmine game...
Tonight was the final home game for Bellarmine basketball. It was also family fun night for alumni and their families. We took Mitchell, Leo and Gus for the fun activities. Leo headed straight for the bouncy thing. In he climbed with a reluctant Gus behind him.
Gus lasted about 3 minutes and then he headed out and to the buffet with his Papa and daddy. There was a set up of food and beverages.
Leo decided to continue jumping for awhile ... then he stopped an took a long look at the very big slide across the way. I figured no way. It was so big and high to climb. But once again Nana was wrong.
Without any hesitation or second thoughts, up, up, up he climbed to the very top and the next thing I know he is sailing down at record speed to the bottom with the biggest grin on his face.
Then we headed over to the game and Bellarmine upset the number two team in their division!! What a night!
The Cake Boss has competion...
This past week Leo assisted me with Valentine cookies. He is quite the baker. He was patient enough that he rolled out the cookie dough, and then got to cut the cookies out.
When he completed that task he was ready to brush the cookies with milk and then sprinkled them.
Gus was napping during this period and when he awoke, he wanted no part of the baking. I would say Leo will have the business all to himself.

It's almost February, already?
The time seems to be just flying by here lately. It was just yesterday that we had the holidays and Sophia's baptism. Now we are looking to Valentines Day and St. Patrick's Day. My three little sweetie pies here are doing great. Growing up so quickly. Leo is stupendous. He still can amaze me with his grown up conversations. Just today I asked him to show me to the basement and his response was, "Well Nana we have to go in this direction." Direction, I mean how many 3 year old use that word? Just so quick with the responses. Just got to love him. Gus, Goose to many of us, is the best snuggle bunny in the world. He can drop that lower lip and in an instant get what ever he wants from his Nana. His eyes go right through me, into my soul. You just can't say no, and if you did the guilt would be to much! Ms. Matilda is sitting up and observing everything around her. She can give just a small piece of her smile and she has won you over. She is very much in charge of what she wants and by goodness she is going to win out every time.
We will be traveling back to Baltimore in March. I can't wait to see Ms. Sophia again. We had a lovely time in early January for her baptism. I haven't posted pictures, yet, because her parents have first dibs. But time is running out for them and I'll break down here soon and show off this wide eye Greek goddess. But in the meantime I do have a few pictures from our visit that I'll post.
Just a little sneak preview of what is to come soon!

Is it Christmas time already...
The time seems to fly by so quickly. We have been busy with all the holiday craziness. Thanksgiving was fantastic because my entire family was together. It was so nice to have them all under one roof and to watch them interact amongst themselves. We had family pictures taken, an assortment of families and grandchildren Thank you Kelly. I haven't forgotten you. Now here it is just less than two weeks until Christmas and I am no where near ready, still ordering gifts and last minute ideas for the many meals I will be preparing. Also, I have to get started on my Christmas cookies!
