Orrin and Kendall

Our two newest grandchildren. Sara's Orrin and Amanda's Kendall.

I have a Danny story to share. The neighbors were missing their tractor and golf cart keys. The neighbor boy asked Molly if Danny took them as he was at their house on the weekend. Both keys are usually just kept in the ignition. I questioned Danny at length. He insisted he didn't take them. After grilling him, I believed him. Especially as this isn't something he has done. (Take people's things.) I then left to take Kaitlin to work. Molly told me that after I left she heard Danny mutter under his breath, "Geez! I'm 13 years old! I know Thou Shall Not Steal!"

Making Pasty on Thursday

Sure Sign of Spring

Picnic lunches with the neighbor kids. They took a blanket and their sack lunches smack dab in the front yard!

Signs of Spring.....

........fresh mowed grass, lilacs, red buds, rhubarb, perennials. Won't be long and I can make the first of many rhubarb desserts.

Monday Night Baseball

Danny played baseball last night. He had a scrape and dirt on his leg from "sliding into home plate". He wasn't happy when I made him take his shower last night. He wanted to show the kids at school his "sliding scars". Not sure what he was trying to prove with this above pose!

He has been looking at the book I have been reading about Down Syndrome. Yesterday he asked:

Danny: What is Down Syndrome?

Me: It means you have an extra 21st chromosome.

Danny: Wrinkling his nose, Huh? What does that mean?

Me: (trying to figure out how to explain so he can understand)

Danny: I know! I'll look it up on the computer. I'll google "What is Down Syndrome".

And I'm sure he will. Somebody was on the computer so he wasn't able to yesterday.

Kendall Jade

Amanda and Paul had a little girl last night. Kendall Jade. She weighed in at 7 lb. 6 oz. Mom (and Dad) and baby doing great.
