Brooklyn

This little sweetie is my oldest son, Rob's, daughter Brooklyn. She's 4 years old.

She came to visit me this afternoon while her Mom went to work. Don't let her sweet quiet shy looks fool you. She gives that impression for the first little while and then she opens up and and runs and squeals and teases just like the cousins she came over to play with.

Brooklyn has a strong resemblance to her handsome Dad...and is wearing her big brother's socks to keep her little feet warm.

Two Little Girls in Blue

My sweet Woolf granddaughters - Kenzie and Sydney - ready for church in their new Easter dresses - eyelet cotton - very sweet and feminine. They were supposed to save the dresses for Easter Sunday but they were so excited about them that their Mom let them wear them a couple of weeks early.

Kenzie loves having her picture taken and is always ready to pose. Sydney likes having her picture taken too but does funny things with her face when she sees the camera. These are the best of a series of pictures I took.

The Tacky One

OK. This is the last of my clock entries - though not the last of my clocks. This golf clock/lamp was given to Lloyd at an award night as a gift of appreciation from his staff. I guess they knew what a golf fanatic he is and wanted to give him something 'personal and appropriate'. Hmmmm. So why did it end up in my living room???

Mickey and Pat

After not scrapping together for over a month, Mickey and I made up for lost time this weekend by spending all afternoon on Friday and all day today at the work room at Scrap-A-Lot working (playing!) at our scrapbooking. It was a great time to catch up, reconnect, and get some good scrapbooking done.

Thanks to our friends at SAL, Kim, Shirley-Ann, and their wonderful staff, for letting us set up in their work room and do our own thing.

Cupie Doll

Aidan's mother has taken to putting a cupie doll curl on top of his head...a flashback to the 50s when all babies had the little stand-up curl.

In my opinion (and I'm merely the grandmother!), he's cute enough with his bright blue eyes and chubby cheeks (weather chapped though they are) that he doesn't need the little curl in his lovely auburn hair.

Aidan is 7.5 months old and bears a strong resemblance to his big sister Kenzie - see yesterday's blog entry.

March 4 - Kenzie's Scrapbook

Before Christmas, my 5-year old granddaughter Kenzie took a lot of pictures around my place. She loved using my little digi and took some very good pictures. I printed them out and put them in a mini scrapbook for her. She took it to school for show and tell and just brought it back home today.

Here's a couple pictures of her showing some of her favorite pages.

She shows promise of being a scrapbooker herself...loves to play with my papers and stamps and inks.

Monday, March 3 - Who's Cuckoo?

When I was 12 Dad (a career soldier) was transferred to Germany and the whole family went with him. While we were there Mum bought a cuckoo clock from the Black Forest and I really loved it. I don't know what ever happened to it. I know we had it after we got back to Canada.

When Emily went to Germany as an exchange student for three months in grade 11, she went to the Black Forest with her host family and bought me my very own cuckoo clock. It doesn't have a cuckoo bird that pops out every hour, instead it plays Adelveiss and the wood chopper 'chops' the wood and the mill wheel turns. The pendulum is a girl on a swing who bops up and down on her spring as long as the clock is running. I love it, and the grandkids are fascinated with it too. It is one of my best treasures.
