Rotating Granddaughters

Sometimes I wish we could just clone ourselves.  We love spending time with all our grandkids, but since they are scattered between South Carolina, New Jersey and Pennsylvania (and the Pennsylvania kids will be moving to Missouri in two months), we have to rotate our time to be with all of them.

We finished up our time with Anabelle in NJ.  It was lots of fun, we did many things together.  We took her and her Mommy and Daddy out to the Cheesecake Factory for Mother’s Day.

She got her very first ride on a carousel, and loved it!

She also proved that whipped cream is a finger food!

All too soon, our visit was over and we headed the 108 miles from NJ to Pennsylvania to see our other granddaughters, Taylor, Kierra and little Rebekah.

We’ll be here for the rest of the week to help out as they’re getting ready to move to Missouri to Daddy Ryan’s new assignment in the Coast Guard.

But it’s also for another very special reason:  Rebekah's first birthday!

 

So let the spoiling begin, and what better way than with ice cream at Dairy Queen!

Hi!  I’m Anabelle and I’m doing the blog post tonight for my Pa.

Pa and Mimi drove up to help take care of me while I have pink eye.  I’m happy to report since I got some medicine, it's almost gone.

I live up here in New Jersey with my Mommy,

and my Daddy. 

We have two dogs, too.  Madison,

and my special buddy, Cooper.  He loves to fetch balls.

Cooper and I spend a lot of time together.

He’s been my best friend ever since I was born.

I love Saltine crackers, they’re my favorite snack.

Although, I’ll never pass up an ice pop,

or a lollypop!  (Don’t tell Mommy that Mimi gave me one!)

Like any red blooded, American girl, I love retail therapy, just like Mommy and Mimi.  Now where is the toy section?

I love it when Mimi and Pa come to visit, they keep me so busy that sometimes I’m so worn out I can’t keep my eyes open, even at lunch!

I’m learning to drive, the right way.  You won’t catch me doing any of that PDD stuff!

Pa helped translate some of my words, because I’m new at writing.  Here is some of my un-translated work:

Mimi and Pa are staying until Monday, then they are heading over to Pennsylvania to see my cousins Taylor, Kierra and Rebekah for a few days.  I’ll miss them but they hope to be back for a whole month in July.

    THE END

PDD Kicked In

We planned a two day car trip up to New Jersey and then next week a short jaunt over to Pennsylvania to see all our granddaughters.  But then we got the news that little Anabelle was down with pink eye and could not go to daycare (both her parents, Corey and Amanda work full time).  It caused a quandary for them to arrange for taking time off from work.

We decided to kick the PDD (driving extreme distances in one day)into high gear and get there as fast as possible.  We hopped in the car a left a 6 am, we even saw the sun rise (Sherry would be proud) and got to NJ from South Carolina in under twelve hours.  A mere 704 miles.

Sometimes you do what you have to do, and the reward was worth it.

We’ll be here watching our little sweetie before heading over to PA early next week to see the rest of our granddaughters.  A special occasion is occurring next week, granddaughter Rebekah turns one.  We’re looking forward to that special day, too.

We’re thankful for our fulltime, retired RV life that gives us the flexibility to go where we need to be.  We sure are glad we made that choice.  :c)
