Granddad Visits Michaela, Mama and Daddy

Jim had the opportunity last week to provide daycare services for Micheala in Washington while Mama and Daddy worked. There were many special moments including dancing, singing and a visit to nearby Great Falls Park. Here are some highlights.

Michaela chases Daddy after dinner out one evening. It was a fast paced combination of hide-and-seek and tag.

Caught by Daddy!

Reading a new book from GB. It's all about cats like Orphie.

Get ready to dance...it's showtime!

At Great Falls Park along the Potomac River. Michaela takes a kayak for a "test drive."
Dancing with wings. This is a little hard to see because the camera was pointed toward a light source. But the point is--can someone please figure out a way to bottle this energy?

Melanie and Mo in Florida

This past weekend we visited Melanie and Mo in their new home in Coral Springs. We had a terrific time celebrating Melanie's birthday and seeing all the new sights! Here are some examples.

Nicole "Tours" Ohio

We were very excited recently to have the pleasure of Nicole's company. Nicole has been touring with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company which gave a performance in Columbus. Patti, John, Nicole and Dad had dinner and then watched the performance. Then, Nicole and Dad drove to Cleveland. We enjoyed dinner with Nicole, Margaret and Keith, and stopped by to see Kathy at St. Augustine Manor. Nicole also visited her alma mater, Lakewood High School, where she met with one of her early theatre mentors, Drama Director David Gannon. She also visited with students to share what it's like to be a lighting designer for theatre. It was a great visit!
