Love Those Grandkids!

I haven't posted in a while -- sometimes I just get busy and don't think about documenting what's going on.

Recently Bree was babysitting Will and Dee and took a few videos that she shared with us. We just love watching Delilah walking and talking!

And Jessica sent us this one of the kids laughing and playing. Will thought it was so funny that Delilah would throw the cookies he gave her on the floor.

Here's one more video of William at the Zoo class he attended. The kids had parrots come and feed from their hands!

And here's a sweet picture of Delilah that we received lately.  I think it's her 9 month picture.

Lilah is ALMOST Walking!

Josh sent a short video our way to show us how Delilah is coming with her walking. At 9 months old she now can walk along behind her doll stroller! It won't be long now before she's walking all by herself!

Cukes Are Yummy ...

Jessica sent a new video of Delilah last night and it's just the sweetest. It's funny that it arrived when it did because Dave and I had just been talking about how William just loves veggies and fruit and we wondered if Dee would like them as much. I guess this video answers that question!

And I'm also posting a couple pictures that Jessica sent this morning. Love seeing William in his new Toy Story PJs and little Miss Dee is pulling herself up and scooting along tables and furniture now (in addition to crawling!) How quickly they change.

Princess Dee is pulling herself up on EVERYTHING!

Will has new Toy Story PJs!

Ta da!!! Someone's Crawling!

Here's the latest video from Jessica ... Princess Dee is starting to crawl!

Delilah is ALMOST Crawling!

Jessica sent this video clip yesterday of our sweet Dee getting up on her knees and rocking away. Before you know it, she'll figure out how to move one knee forward and then the other. She is soooo close to crawling. Can't wait to see it!

Old Sturbridge Village in January!

We ventured out to Old Sturbridge Village this afternoon and walked around to get some exercise. We stopped in a few areas that we never seem to get to when we're there -- and were pleasantly surprised! I loved the firearms and textiles exhibit.  I snapped a few pictures to share:

A view of the village as you enter ...

The village farmyards

A side view of the Fitch House

The church ...

One of the exhibits in the Firearms and Textiles building

Loved the hats that were on display and couldn't believe how small the uniforms were.
Men were definitely much smaller back then!

You're actually seeing two displays here ... the drummer's uniform and instruments are in front
 and behind that is a military muskets display ...

An example of one of the looms used to make cloth and blankets.

This was a really nice display of the various weaving patterns used and

what the actual written instructions looked like.

It was really a fun afternoon -- although much colder than we expected so we didn't stay too long. We love having a membership at OSV though and are planning to drop in frequently to get some exercise in such beautiful surroundings. 

Now we're home, have laundry going and are watching football. I'm heading up to the loft to work on the penguin hat I started yesterday (the hat part is finished - now I just have to put it together) and to maybe 

work on Dave's afghan that I started last October. It got put aside as I made two afghans as Christmas presents and I think he'd like me to get back to working on it. It's been pretty cold here!
