A Swarm!

Graci, determined to pick up a pumpkin...

...removes the lid, but still too heavy!

...small break for a photo-op!

...if you can't beat 'em, sit on 'em (and laugh)!

Super Oma!

Oma's been gone a week and we miss her. Below are final photos from her visit!

CoCo was riding behind Oma here and said, "Look her's a Super Oma!"
(note: she's wearing a 'black cape')

Graci, is a crack up! She rides with her hands in her cup/snack holders. Maybe it's her way of communicating her Christmas list: "Black net gloves"?!

CC made it all the way around the lake on her bike (2.8 miles)!

Snacks!

Joke of Our Day!

BOTTOMS UP!

Our Sweet Grandma & GG !!!

Our Beautiful & Amazing Grandma 1915-2011

We will miss you dearly, but are thankful for the legacy you have left behind! In my aunt's words... "Mom, you fought the good fight, you finished the race, you kept the faith. Well done, good and faithful servant." -S. Shuman

My cousin Trevor took the above photo and prepared this presentation to show at her memorial.

Her six children.

Afternoon Visit!

S*W*E*E*T*I*E

CC finds a willing subject for her photo shoot.

Graci was timid at first & then Claire patiently tolerated G's "loving touch"! Already looking forward to our next visit!
