March 9—A Sick G-ma, Some Markers & a Little Creativity

My Grandma has been recovering from an operation for the last couple of months.  I have been to see her, but she is pretty tired and so we haven’t taken the boys to run circles around her.  We decided a few pictures might brighten her room and hopefully help her mend a little more quickly.

Ian of course went for the superhero motif.  His card read “I hope you fill like a superhero soon!”  Do you see that look of concentration on his face?  I didn’t capture him sticking his tongue out, but when he is really focused on something he sticks the tip of his lounge out—just like his daddy.

Miles drew Grandma a tractor with a hay baler.  He talked and talked about the details of his picture—I didn’t get a photo, but it started as two big circles for tires and a rectangle for the tractor cab.  It turned into a page of dark green John Deere green scribbles.  Wes decided to help out too and you can see his creation below.  Of course his mother was amazed at the ability of his little cubby 1 year old fingers that could take the lid off of the marker and click it onto the bottom!

Feel better soon Grandma—We love you oodles!
