Some of Best My Blessing Call Me PaPa

It's been 5 days since we picked up the grandkids. Rainey at first didn't take to PaPa at all. Every time I picked him up or on occasion even looked at him, he ran to AnDi and wanted up. He now thinks I am OK and will even sit on my lap. AnDi (or MaMa as he often calls her) is still his favorite.

Eliza and Daniel were excited about the trip to Gama's House. All the way back one of them or the other asked if we were at Gama's yet.

Sunday Rainey still wasn't too sure about Gama and PaPa so AnDi took him to the Singles Ward. He was a hit and charmed all the girls. After she took him to a friends house and he worked his magic on Di's friend's Mom. He even had her giving him rice crispy squares. Sharon and I took the older 2 with us. When it came time to head to Primary, Daniel went into the nursery class like he had been attending there all along. Eliza when into the Primary Room and found her class and was settled in by the time I got through with Daniel. Who needs PaPa when you are as self assured as those 2. After church Auntie Kimmie and Makynna and Oryn came over for supper. We were out numbered 5 kids to 4 adults. You would have thought a tornado had hit the house but I was surprised at how well they cleaned up after themselves. The only mess that they let for PaPa was the new box of laundry soap that Daniel and Makynna dumped all over the laundry room. There was some semblance of order though when everyone was gone or in bed. They passed out about 9:30 and didn't get up until nearly 9:30.

Monday Auntie Di took them swimming. You would have thought she had given them the world. Daniel had to tell us all about it and Eliza would put in her thoughts as he expounded on the joys of the pool. Rainey had a blast too we were told. He just took to the hot tub and relaxed. Unfortunately it didn't tire them out like the visit from their cousins. Rainey was up before 7 and Eliza and Daniel were not far behind. Gama and PaPa had their hands full most of the day. Auntie Di gave us a bit of a break when she took Rainey shopping with her after work.

Tomorrow is going to be an experience I am not too sure how I will handle. Both Sharon and Dian are off to work and school from 8 to after 4 and I have the 3 of them all to myself. If you don't hear from me again please send all correspondence care of the pysch ward at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital.

Hopefully until tomorrow night.
