So Sad, Heading For Home In The Morning



I'm so sad I have to leave for home in the morning. I'm just getting to know this new little grandbaby of ours! I sure will miss little Bryn, her big brother Jackson and her big sister Karlee. It's been fun to teach Jackson some new 'tricks'! He's quite proficient at winking, blowing kisses and giving kisses now and he mastered the art of climbing the ropes on his 'jungle gym' by himself to get to the top of his slide and then slide down it by himself. I couldn't get a good picture of his wink, so will have to wait until we come back for Bryn's baby blessing and if nothing else, I'll video tape it!

Sunday, Sunday

Church was great! The Dallas temple president and his wife, President and Sister Packard, spoke in Sacrament meeting about the importance of the temple and our responsibility to do our family history and temple work. They are the aunt and uncle of the Packard family in our ward. They asked me how the Packard's cherries turned out this year. I told them I didn't know, but I had tried the pears they grew and they were delicious! After church Karlee came home with us. I gave her the travel Simon game and Reese's peanut butter pumpkin I'd bought for her. We played Simon together. She was SO appreciative and said it was the best game ever! I had (AKA made) her read me "The Grouchy Ladybug" by Eric Carle. Jackson was taking a nap, so I told her to pretend that she was reading it to Jackson. So she did and she played up the story very well! We both had fun! She indicated she's ready to come back to Nana and Pops' for a visit next summer!

For dinner I made "To Die For Crock Pot Roast" I added potatoes, carrots and half an onion to the roast. I also made Betty Crocker Traditional Brownie Goody Bars for dessert. Erin and Russ had invited some friends that are moving over for dinner and everyone seemed to enjoy the food.

Still no signs of baby girl...I wish she'd hurry up and come. I have a lasagna crockpot recipe I want to try and Erin gets awful heartburn when she's pregnant, so for now, no tomato based sauces for her!
