When I was a little girl, I had a special rocking chair that was just my size.  It was painted white (probably full of lead. . .)  and had faded blue cushions.  I loved my little chair, and I would sit for hours, rocking my dolls and looking at books. Eventually, I found out that it was my mother’s chair when she was a little girl and that her brother and sister had had similar ones.    When I had children of my own, my parents had the chair refinished, and it came to live at our house.  We are now on the fourth generation of children rocking in the chair! My mother was born in 1910, so the rocker must be almost a hundred years old!  Every time that Miles has come to visit, we have taken his photo in the chair, so today he is sitting in it for my photo of the day.  Maybe another day I will take a photo of Henry in it.

We had such a busy, active day! We spent the morning at Giggles in Concord- a fun indoor play center for toddlers and preschoolers.  Then it was lunch at Red Robin and shopping at Babies RUs and Macy’s- a full day for two little guys.  I took lots of photos of Miles playing (and Henry sleeping)- but for my photo of the day I chose this simple one taken at breakfast time.  Here is Henry with his Papa:

What a fun day for the grandbabies!  Company arrived- with many gifts!  The grown-ups especially enjoyed seeing the kids wearing Groucho glasses!

Life is very busy at our house with the grandbabies!  Errands at Costco and Target went smoothly today, thanks to excellent behavior by Miles- earning him a special art project (melted crayon art) after lunch AND a new building toy.  Drawing and building are Miles’s passions- which we are happy to encourage.  Henry’s activities right now center around eating, sleeping, and just looking extremely cute!

The grandbabies are here! Henry is at the ooohing and gooing stage and is oh so deliciously chubby and cute!

Miles is too busy for a photo session now . . . so stay tuned!
