Nana

My husband’s 94 year old grandma (Nana to our kids) went home to Jesus yesterday morning.   We’re sorting through pictures, so I thought I’d share a few in memory of this sweet, wonderful lady.   We love you, Nana!

For Nana…

I forgot to bring my camera along, so we are stuck with three (very lousy) cell phone pictures from my (very lousy) cell phone.  I wish we had better pictures, but I wanted to post these for Nana.

Our family went to visit Nana and bring her dinner on Saturday night. 

She had a new game for the boys, and Alex LOVED it!  It was very easy to play, and you can’t pick a better game than Thomas The Tank Engine for a four year old boy. Thanks, Nana!

Max had the most fun by using a plastic bowling ball as a bat, hitting balls all around Nana’s living room.

Jensyn just crawled, explored, and got in the way of Alex’s game.  She also enjoy a little time on Nana’s lap.

Thanks for letting us spend our evening with you, Nana!  We love you!

Happy 90th Birthday, Nana!

This morning, we had the special treat of taking Nana out for breakfast on her 90th birthday. She picked one of her favorite restaurants, and we all enjoyed a delicious breakfast – complete with a big slice of birthday cake! Happy Birthday, Nana!

Alex understood the flaming candle! He “helped” Nana blow it out from his seat, and he told her Happy Birthday.

He was pretty happy about that cake! Alex & I shared this slice.Here’s the boy with his yummy breakfast – just in case you want proof that he ate the good stuff, too.

Grandma & Max – poor Max didn’t get any cake

One last picture of my cake-lovin’ boy.

Happy 90th Birthday, Nana!

We love you!

Nana!! :)

Well, you're probably getting the idea that we had a rather busy week! I didn't get many pictures on Friday, but it was a fun day.

We started with breakfast at Grandma & Papa's house. Kevin & Leanne spent the night on their way to Wisconsin Dells, so this was a chance to visit with them and allow them to see Alex.

Alex & I headed home after breakfast so he could get a good nap, then Grandma picked us up & we headed up to Griffith to see Nana. We went for lunch at Chili's, then returned to Nana's apartment to visit for a while.

Nana has the kissing bears from Hallmark, and she shows them to Alex every time he visits. When you put the bears' snouts together, they make a kissing sound & the wings flutter. This was the first time Alex really reacted to the bears. Now we owe Nana some new AAA batteries, since Alex is wearing them out! :)
