Grandma arrived in NC at noon for the upcoming birthday festivities! On our way from the airport, we stopped to visit Mommy's grave and to see if the flowers needed to be replaced. The flowers are looking fine, but we miss her tremendously!!!
Kevin found a dandelion gone to seed and ran to blow it on Mommy's grave. I suggested that we didn't want dandelions growing in Mommy's grass, so he blew them away from Mommy.
Then we saw this nest of tent caterpillars where he blew the seeds!
We dropped Daddy at home, and Grandma took the shaggy-haired boy for a haircut, then for a Goodberry's! Yum!
Kevin and I were sitting on this wall. Shortly, a boy came along and sat a few feet from us. Kevin got up and moved beside him! They never exchanged words, but, when the boy's Dad brought his ice cream, he chose to stay on the wall with Kevin rather than eat with his parents.
We had an appointment for photos at Portrait Innovations for 6 year old photos.
Following dinner beside the studio, Daddy needed to go shopping, and we walked on the lake path making many discoveries -- ducks, dogwoods, tall white pines, and stones.
Grandma found a beginning reader in an airport today. Most of Kevin's books are packed and in storage until their new house is finished, including the ready readers Mommy purchased for him and was teaching him to read two years ago. He is READY to read, and was so proud of himself that he could read this book by himself after going through it once with Grandma's assistance. He declared, "It's the first book I ever read!" Daddy was delighted too!
Oh, you KNOW Karin would have loved the picture with Kevin and the big "6" block! : ) She's been a fan of that from the beginning! : )
