Playing with the grandkids

We arrived Wednesday night, but everyone was sound asleep by the time we got to the house.  So, fun times with the grandkids started on Thursday morning.  One of Maleia's favorite things is to have me read books to her.  She's got such a great memory, that if I miss one word, she will correct me.  I can't even imagine how many books she has memorized.

Josiah is crawling, pulling up and can stand by himself.  He's so close to being ready to step out on his own.  We're hoping that we will still be here when he takes his first steps.  This time, he has decided that he likes Grandpa better than me.  Actually, Daniel and Shannon tell us that, in general, he likes men better than women.  I'm fine with it--what I'm not fine with is the fact that Stephen reminds me all day long that Josiah likes him better!!!!

Jon drove up from Santa Cruz this morning--we hadn't seen him since Christmas.  Maleia and Josiah were also glad to see "Uncle Jon."  We are planning to drive to Santa Cruz next week to see his new place, as well as the "shop" that he is working on with his friend, Noah.

It's quiet here right now.  Stephen and Jon went to see the Batman movie; Daniel and Shannon went out for a short run; Maleia and Josiah are asleep (and I'm hoping they stay that way.)
