This morning I picked Grandpa up and we went to grandparent's day at Hailey's school. The children did all the cute songs, prayers, poems, etc. that they have been practicing. They were so cute.
Hailey did a great job. We had nice snacks afterwards. Grandpa, Melissa and Jack took the tiny (and I mean tiny) elevator to the basement and I took the stairs with Hailey. I'm glad I took the stairs after seeing that elevator. We had a good laugh about it though. Jack was a really good baby as usual so Melissa and I were able to take lots of pictures. Afterwards, Grandpa and I worked on the puzzle that Brian got for him. It's a really hard one. We finished it and were glad to have it done. Now grandpa has a easier one...only 100 pieces.

We were so happy to have Teresa (we've known her since she was little and she's like a daughter to us) and her beautiful family come visit us. We were sad Vikki and Rody had to work and couldn't be with us, but Kimmy, Jacob, Adam, Melissa, Bruce, Hailey, Max and Jack were able to come over for dinner and a visit with them. We were all so glad to see Teresa again and to meet husband and their children. The kids all played good together. Kimmy had just reorganized the basement for us and put a nice play area down there. (Thanks Kimmy) That's where they liked playing. (Thanks for cleaning up the basement for me Kimmy and also the upstairs. I love and appreciate you.) We had a wonderful time visiting and watching the kids play together. Bill enjoyed talking to Hai and Teresa about Vietnam as he was stationed in the place where they now live. It was a very enjoyable evening for all of us. Grandpa enjoyed being here for the visit too and stayed quite late for him.
