A few days after Christmas we made an impromptu trip down to Quincy to visit my grandma and a few cousins who were in town. It was just a one-day trip; on the train from 8:30-noon, visit from 12-5, back on the train from 5:30-9pm and asleep in our own beds. The girls do really well on the train with all there is to see and everyone there to entertain them. The laptop and a few movies don't hurt either.
We surprised my grandma at the care facility where she lives, and she was just thrilled to see us! At 92 she looks smaller and more frail every time I see her, but she still has the sparkle in her eye and warm laugh that I love to hear. Her vision and dexterity are still good so she is still able to do needlework. Here, Laura picks out a baby blanket from the many she has made.
Of course the kids loved watching the birds. (I think birds in nursing homes must be universal).
Gathering for a meal at my Aunt Elaine & Uncle Bill's house.
Madeline loved playing with her second cousins!
