New pictures!!

Wow! We come all this way to visit Nanny and she puts us to work! Child labour!!
Baba took us out to see the creek on their property but instead of letting us wade in the water and look for fish he just took our picture! Baaa Humbug.

Caleb and I are both great speakers. I have to teach him the art of listening now.


I thought I would make sure I was prepared while visiting Nanny and Babba just incase the tide came in more than usual!!



Not only does Caleb not know what organ you listen with, but he also has a habit of looking through the nose piece on his goggles. Sheeesh!! He's my brother, I gotta love him!!

On the farm

Well, it looks like Amber has layed her first egg. Otherwise we had a bird come into the chicken coop and donating this tiny egg!! Only one of my amirylis's bloomed. It grew so tall I thought the flowers would be tiny but they are really big. One is better than none!!

tripto victoria

We went to Victoria and stayed with Tom and Dena Rose. We had a lovely time with them. Dena is not doing too well as she needs a hip replacement and has to walk with a cane or walker. She is as cheerful as ever. Tom is now 75!
On Saturday we stopped in to see Barry's mom for the first time. She was very friendly and showed us pictures of her family and told us all about them. Barry has a sister and two brothers and they all live in Victoria.

I also found some crocuses peaking through the grass! Ha!

Guess what, more, more, more

Here is Caleb preparing to do a double backflip.
It's a lot of work cleaning up after those ducks!

I think it's time for some heavy equipment. Maybe that will help get the job done!!



Baba now shows Derek how to squeeze the chicken to get the egg out! It takes great concentration!!


Derek now has the chicken in a turkey hold. Oh dear, I mean the chicken hold.

More boys!! :)


I just love looking at all the pictures of Derek and Caleb. Here we are making snow angels. I don't mind looking at snow now that it's nicer out!!

Caleb is all bundled up for the cold weather. Look!! He still has his hat on!!


Derek has done a fine job making a snowman!



Caleb is impressed by the snowman too!

Nothing new

Since I have nothing new to report I'll post more pictures of my adorable grandsons and their favorite dog poses.
It seems the boys feel that Toby is a warm fuzzy couch at a very convenient hight.
Derek is being very gentle and Toby doesn't seem to mind at all. He looks relieved!!


Toby is just the right fit so it seems to Derek!



Heres both dogs looking somewhat relieved.
