So Friday was the Jog-a-thon and lucky me, I got to be there! The temp job that I had been working ended two days before the big event. Talk about perfect timing! When I told Amara that I was going to be able to go she was so excited! “That’s great Grandma, because last year [...]

Amara loves to play outside so for Christmas and Birthday gifts we try and get her things that will make her visits here more fun and more active. (OK, maybe I have ulterior motives and want to exhaust her so she will sleep well!) But I do love that she has all kinds of toys [...]

Amara spent the night with us Saturday night and I really didn’t have anything special planned so we just had to kind of improvise! With her around there is never a dull moment. One things I actually had thought of was proposing to her the idea of becoming pen pals with Aunt Sandy’s granddaughter. She [...]

Amara spent the night with us last night and we had such a great time. She had brought with her the Glow in the Dark Chalk kit that she had gotten for her birthday last week from Uncle Mark and Aunt Sandy and she could hardly wait to get started. I read the directions and [...]
