Wow! What a month! On September 4 I traveled back to Marietta, GA, to help Sharon with Ella and Leo and the new baby, Siena. I was there until September 15 when we all hopped in the new family mobile and headed for the Outer Banks in North Carolina where we had rented a large house a block from the ocean to house the entire family - eight adults and seven grand children. What a blast! I referred to it as "Happy Chaos."
We all needed at least a week to recover when we got home. I returned home on September 22 - having been away for almost three weeks. It felt good to be home, but I really missed all the activity of the grand children.
Here are some of our favorite pictures of those happy days.
Leo and Ella playing with Grandma in the morning.
Siena was growing and becoming more interactive. What a cutie!
Leo and I hung out together a lot - while Ella was in school. Here we were sitting in the car watching the "diggers" for about 20 minutes. We also spent time at the playground, in the pool, going for walks, playing in the neighbor's play house, playing with Leo's toy cars, reading story books...well, you get the picture! It was hard on both of us to have to say "good-bye."

Grandma made the dresses - it was Sharon's idea and she helped
me choose the fabric before Siena was born. It was fun to make them
in assembly line fashion - each one a different size.
