She sat down with the kids and played board games for 2 whole hours. Well, William played that long, he thought he was in heaven, Bec came and went, then came back again....her attention span doesn't last that long ;) They played Candy land, Chutes and Ladders, Ice Age and Bright Buttons (although Will did the star jumps for Ma). She is a truly amazing lady, we are so blessed to have her in such good health, she still walks and all. Ma is now 98 years old and sharp as a tack, she says the secret is to keep your brain busy, so she won't go to bed before she has done the 3 crossword puzzles from the paper each day! Thanks Ma, we know just how lucky we are to have you :)
This one is Miss Lizzy with her oldest cousin, Sam. They shared a beautiful cuddle together on Easter Day. More happy memories :)
I know that this layout is, well, in all honesty, rather ugly! I had bought the whole set of October Afternoon papers, and I had a few sheets that I hadn't used. I know myself well enough to know that they would get buried in my stash and probably never used again, so I decided that I was just going to use them, and not really care about the colours matching. So I'm ignoring that - ok! And the photos have scanned really bright, I'm ignoring that too!
Journalling reads: "Bec and Liz are so delightful together. Bec is so loving and bright and chirpy, she genuinely enjoys playing with her baby sister. She can always elicit a big, gummy smile and a chuckle from Lizzy. It is so beautiful to see the love between these 2. Bec is keen to help look after Liz too. She fetches her toys and plays peek-a-boo. She's not quite big enough to pick Liz up yet, but she really wants to hold her and tries to drag her up on to her lap. Lizzy enjoys this - she doesn't seem to mind it a bit rough!"
Hope you're having a great week!

grandparents have the patience of a saint with their grandchildren and games. I recall the exact same love and sharing of snakes & ladders with me when I was a little kid.
Oh wow, how gorgeous is Ma, incredibly inspirational, especially for me at 43 with a 4 year old, wow, I love seeing these photos and you have put them on the layout perfectly. The other layouts are amazing my friend, I had a chuckle as Nate is like Bec, he would come and go, I say he has the attention span of a green ant. lol. Gorgeous work. Melxx
