MY 2 WEEKS IN MARYLAND


WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME I HAD VISITING MY FAMILY.  I SPENT 2 WEEKS WITH DADRA'S FAMILY FIRST.  JASON AND DADRA ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL LOVED AND APPRECIATED.  DADRA HAS LOST ALL HER  EXCESS WEIGHT AFTER NOLAN WAS BORN AND LOOKS WONDERFUL.  SHE'S SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ME  IN HER EATING HABITS.


NOLAN HAS CHANGED SO MUCH SINCE I LAST SAW HIM  WHEN HE WAS BLESSED LAST SUMMER.  HE IS ADORABLE AND HIS PERSONALITY IS SO MILD AND FUN TO BE AROUND. AND HE REMINDS ME OF DADRA WHEN SHE WAS A BABY.  AS LONG AS HIS NEEDS ARE MET, HE'S CONTENTED AND FUN TO BE AROUND.  NOLAN ALWAYS HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE TOO.


IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO GO TO CHURCH WITH THE FAMILY.  SUNDAY IS A SPECIAL DAY OF REST FOR ALL OF US AND WE ENJOYED FAMILY ACTIVITIES.  LOVED HAVING ABBY AND DADRA SING TOGETHER SOME SPECIAL SONGS.


ABBY AND I HAD A FUN PROJECT WHILE I WAS THERE.  I HAD WRITTEN TO HER ABOUT MAKING A QUILT AND SENT HER SOME SPECIAL CRAYONS .  SHE NEEDED TO DRAW 20 PICTURES BEFORE MY VISIT SO THAT I COULD IRON THE PICTURES ON QUILT BLOCKS.  ABBY HAD DRAWN 18 PICTURES ABOUT HER LIFE AND FINISHED THE LAST 2 WHILE I WAS THERE.  I IRONED ON THE PICTURES TO THE QUILT BLOCKS.  THEY TURNED OUT SO CUTE.

ABBY PICKED OUT HER FABRIC FOR IN BETWEEN THE PICTURE BLOCKS AND ALSO THE FABRIC FOR THE BACK.  SHE LOVES PURPLE AND THAT IS WHAT SHE DECIDED ON.  I SEWED THE BLOCKS TOGETHER AND IT LOOKED SO CUTE.


THIS IS HOW BIG HER QUILT IS.  I WAS ABLE TO TIE THE QUILT TOGETHER AND THEN BIND IT.  ABBY WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT HER QUILT SHE WANTED TO TAKE IT TO SCHOOL AND SHOW HER TEACHER.  HER TEACHER WAS DELIGHTED WITH HER QUILT AND THOUGHT IT WAS FUN SHE WAS ON A BLOCK WITH ABBY AND THE SCHOOL IN THE BACKGROUND.


DADRA, JASON AND NOLAN LEFT FOR A FEW DAYS FOR IDAHO.  JASON'S SISTER GOT MARRIED IN THE IDAHO FALLS, TEMPLE ON MARCH 16.  I WAS ABLE TO WATCH ABBY AND LANDON WHILE THEY WERE GONE.   ABBY AND I HAD ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE DID.  WE HAD GONE TO HOBBY LOBBY AND BOUGHT SOME YARN THAT MATCHED THE COLOR OF HER HAIR.  WE WANTED TO MAKE A TANGLED BRAID FOR HER.  MY FRIEND LORI DILLON SHOWED ME HOW TO MAKE THIS BRAID BECAUSE SHE HAD MADE ONE FOR HER LITTLE GIRL FOR HALLOWEEN.

OUR FINISHED PROJECT WAS ADORABLE AND ABBY LOVED IT.  THE BRAID COMES DOWN TO THE FLOOR.  WE DECORATED  IT WITH FLOWERS AND GREENERY.  THIS WAS A FUN PROJECT FOR BOTH   OF US AND WE WERE PLEASED AND DELIGHTED HOW IT TURNED OUT.


I WAS THERE FOR ST PATRICK'S DAY TOO.  I HAD BOUGHT SOME FUN THINGS FOR LANDON AND ABBY TO WEAR ON THIS FUN OCCASION.  THESE ARE SOME OF THE PICTURES WE TOOK THAT DAY.

I DON'T SEE MY  GRANDCHILDREN  VERY MUCH SO IT'S FUN TO MAKE THESE KIND OF MEMORIES WITH THEM.;

MAKING GREEN COOKIES TOPPED OFF THE DAY.




A FEW MORE PICTURES TAKEN BEFORE LEAVING FOR VIRGINIA TO SPEND A WEEK WITH  TASHA'S FAMILY.  THAT WILL BE BLOGGED NEXT.


I DID FIX DOG'S NOSE AGAIN.  ABBY LOVES THIS STUFFED DOG AND I'VE OPERATED ON IT A FEW TIMES FIXING THE EYES AND NOSE.  I DON'T THINK THE NOSE WILL COME OFF AGAIN SINCE I USED A GLUE GUN.


MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE SO ADORABLE.  I LOVE TAKING PICTURES OF THEM.  THAT IS WHAT I HAVE LEFT WHEN I GO BACK HOME.  PHOTO'S AND MEMORIES.   SO GRATEFUL FOR BOTH OF THEM.
