Our five-year-old granddaughter Sophie provides a never-ending supply of cute things to laugh at. Last week Lisa sent me this picture because Sophie had said that this is how Pennsylvania Memaw's hair looks in the morning, hahahahahaha!! She would know, wouldn't she?
This week Lisa called to tell me that Sophie had said to her, "Why are you looking at me with that bump on your face?" Turns out that apparently Lisa is developing those lovely vertical creases between her eyebrows that my kids used to always tease me about. See them in this picture? My kids always called them my tree trunk!!! Ahhh, Sophie! Sweet revenge!!
I know I keep saying how much Austin loves the leaves. But today I think he must have thought he went to Leaf Heaven. I took him for a walk in the stroller and there were leaves EVERYWHERE!! Coming down from the trees, all over the street. Piles of them along the street that we could ride right through, making the most marvelous rustly noise. Cars would drive by making the leaves scatter and prance around. He was absolutely ecstatic. He kept making his loud noises of exclamation and extending his arms like he just couldn't contain so much wonder!
Later I took him to the park where he did nothing but pick up leaves and exclaim over them. I tried to get his enthusiasm on video, but my timing was usually off. This video has one of his loud outbursts on it.

I love Sophie's comments! I am developing one of those bumps too. :)
The video of Austin is priceless! He looks like he is overwhelmed with excitement!
Sophie is cute as can be and I love Austin's enthusiasm! So fun to hear his voice.
Your grandchildren are so cute! Austin is going to be a nature lover, for sure.
Wonder why he is so enmored with the leaves? Maybe he is just going to enjoy all of nature. He's getting so big, too!
Too funny about the 'tree trunk' and the hair!
So sweet! Once again, I am so thankful that you are able to be in on all these happy times. Last week I wrote you a long, long comment about your varied life and how it encourages me, and lo and behold, it disappeared. I don't know where it went, but it sure didn't appear on your comments.
And I haven't been able to recreate it the way it was the first time! Never works quite right. But one of these days I'll try again. Anyhow you had asked about where it was that the sign came from that my sisters bought me. There is a Country House store in Salisbury, about an hour south of us. They do have a website and I think you would really enjoy it. It's at www.thecountryhouse.com
Hope this helps!
