It was Sydney's 6th Birthday yesterday. Natalie and Jay had to be at Parent Teacher Conferences. They were feeling pretty bad. Papa John and I got to be the benefactors of it. We took Collin, Sydney, Dresden and Logan to McDonalds for dinner and Birthday cake. Aunt Shannon stopped by before she had to go to her community council meeting, as she is the rep for our area. Shannon and I traded kids, Tuesday night she watch all four so John and I could go to a play "Romeo and Juliet" (it was very good, by the way). And last night we had all four which turned out great because they thought it was a Birthday Party for Sydney. Her Party is really going to be this Saturday. Anyway they had fun and I took a minute to reflect on how much I love having my grandchildren in my life. Carlee is my grown-up granddaughter, she is actually in Young Women's now, I hope she will love being in Young Women's. Taylor was so cute the other day when I was getting ready to rock her in the chair for her nap. The blanket I use to wrap her in when I rock her was lying on the bed, she brought it over to me and in her cute little voice said "Here Go Gamma". She was ready for her nap! So cute! Then watching those four kids playing on the playground at McDonalds and getting along so well. And last, but not least my cute Cali Kids I miss them, but John and I are so blessed that our California family want us to come and stay more often. And we will, once Papa really is retired!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY LEIGH
