9 March 2010

Hi Everyone,

We just got back from a great trip to Texas. Chris and Lisa went on cruise so we watched the kids. They are delightful, inquisitive and active. They came up with hilarious comments. Here's a sample:

Since we wouldn't be there for Matthew and Alyssa's birthday we had
cake and ice cream to celebrate their birthdays. Everybody had to say something
nice about Matthew and Alyssa. We said that Matthew was very loving and kind; he is a great helper and very smart. Matthew said, "I think that's right". There you
have it--Matthew agrees with how great he is! Obviously he's gotten great self-esteem from his parents.

I said some good things about Alyssa among them that she is "very fun-loving and fearless. She isn't afraid to try new things". A few minutes later she said to me, "Grandpa, I'm afraid of going in to a Lion or a Tiger cage!" OK, so I was wrong. I should have said, "Alyssa is fearless and will try anything EXCEPT GET IN A CAGE WITH A LION OR A TIGER".

Below are some pictures of the Grandchildren in question:
