Well, I should probably share a few photos of my adorable grandchildren. Joseph sent this one to the family chat today and we all just squealed when we saw it -
MARY!!!! So so so so so cute! Aww, that little GRIN!!!! Oh she's so cute. And a pic they sent yesterday, awww.Oh they are so cute. So fun. Eliza and Bella are so lucky to be mothers! Babies really are God's gifts to the moms. It's fun being a grandma, but they don't need me. They need the mom, and the mom gets to be the one that spends all day with them. I'm guessing that I'll get to babysit the grandkids now and then over the years, but I don't get them all day. I'll treasure these last years with Katharine where we are best friends and spend all day together! Except when I escape for a bike ride or something. I did escape briefly yesterday.
Fall colors are falling down and becoming more brown and dead, but it's still pretty and I love it.
Corey and I also escaped to go climbing last night. It was late, we took ODPK over to Wayne's house while we climbed in Millcreek. We took our nephew Seth with us, who was over there visiting Wayne.
So that was fun! He did three climbs and a few boulders. I bouldered a little bit when Corey was belaying Seth.

Cute. Natalie and Peter are both really good at playing with Katharine. And Natalie is good at playing with Peter too. She was using my phone today (without permission) and doing some fun editing stuff with Peter.
I'm not sure how she knows how to do that, but good job. I'm always impressed with the kids editing skills. I'm glad they have skills. I hope the skills they are acquiring will be of benefit to them and help them get into college and live a good life. A lot of the stuff (reels and memes) seems like a waste and pointless though. Corey took Lily Sophi and Natalie with him this morning to do some service at a church soap factory. It was supposed to be a 4 hour thing, starting at 7am, so they got up to go at 6:30 this morning. I helped them get out the door, telling them it was a 30 min drive so just bring your blankets in the car and you can sleep on the way there. Corey said they were too young to be out on the floor (he didn't know that would be the case) so they just did a few random jobs around the facility...with great attitudes to boot!
(haha not really on the great attitudes part...)
But they ended up only being there for an hour, and then he took them out to breakfast, and got some genuine smiles from them there.
