Claire and Evan: Summer Days

No matter how many pictures I share of our grandchildren, I inevitably find myself falling behind occasionally.  This blog post will catch me up on Claire and Evan.  The next post will get us up to date on Brianna and Hunter.

Evan: "Of course I can juggle.  Can't all babies?"

Claire: "Grandpa, I hate to tell you, but I think this toy shrunk since last time I tried it."

Grandpa Ken: "That's right, Evan.  Show them your 'feeding time' face."

Claire still loves one of her early "peek-a-boo" books. 
Especially if Mom is there to share it.

At Claire's house we witness that she gained
the architecture/engineering gene from her daddy.

Grandpa Ken: "Claire, lie down beside the blocks so we can see how tall you are.  Hmm.  This might be harder than I thought.  But great pose."

Together, we got the tower upright. 
Then, she painstakingly disassembled every block.

Evan: "Yes, I love my little computer. 
But sometimes I forget the password."

Evan: "What do you mean This isn't Carowinds?"

Evan: "Anyway, if Claire's here, this is where I wanna be."

Evan: "'Come into my parlor,' said the spider to the fly."

Evan: "I don't know which is more fun, the slinky or the air conditioning vent.
But they're both educational."
And grandchildren are educational, too.
I've still got a lot to learn.  After all, shouldn't we ALL
be life-long learners?
