Catching Up

It seems like every time I travel north
It takes weeks
To get back into my normal posting.
These are a little out of order,
I'll probably be catching up for a week or so.
But I did take a trip
To see my little grandson Andreas,
Andreas in his Charro hat


Who is 7 months
Began crawling while I was there
Lifting his arms to be picked up,

A happy, delightful baby
Who is very social,
Very verbal,
Very physical,
moving all the time,

And still not sleeping all night.
All the rest makes up for that though.
