Coy











When I spent the day with Lucy, Max and Joe a couple days ago Lucy was so delighted I was there and wants ALL my attention ALL the time. She is such a poser and is so fun to watch and play with. I just adore her. Max was cooing and laughing and reaching out to grasp things.











Joe was out playing with his friends most of the time. Here he is making cookies with Momikins.

One of my favorite summer shows, So You Think You Can Dance ended last night and Janine won. It was between Janine and Brandon and I was hoping for Brandon, he is soooo gorgeous, what a body, but Janine deserved to win too, a great dancer, as were both. So what now, only Big Brother 11 which is fascinating to watch the interaction between these people. One girl is so weird, she is covered with tattoos and is Latina but has bleached blonde hair, black eyes and wore a mask like think over her eyes, with her eyes shining out of eye holes. Very weird. There are only two or three people I care about at all.

I find myself looking forward to the fall shows coming up.

Alone with Joe, Lucy....AND MAX

Friday night I was asked to babysit while Devon went to his 20th high school reunion. Very odd, my baby son old enough to have a 20 YEAR high school reunion! I ws delighted to spend time with my grandchildren as usual. But this time would be a first: I would have Max too, with pumped mommy's milk in bottles. There were three so I thought there would probably be enough. But as we know, Max is a ravenous little guy. So I HOPED it would be enough. I also hoped we would not have any emergencies like we did a week before when two kids at once were traumatized and me being only one grandma.







Lucy watched Dragon Tales (I was trying something new and she was entranced).


















Joe was upstairs playing video games and Max was playing on his play mat.















About 7 Max was hungry and I warmed the bottle and fed him. At first he was not sure, but I held him like his Mom might, up close and he sucked it right down and fell asleep. He was still sleeping when Devon and Annie got home. Lucy was asleep on the couch and Joe in his bed. So I had new confidence. I am excited about my next adventure with The Three.

Trauma for Joseph and Lucy

I was with Joe for two days and had so much fun. We played pool, Wii sports games and Slug Fest of Xbox. We had some good meals and saw Transformers in Imax at the new theatre in Northgate.

Then Friday night I went to stay with Joe and Lucy while their parents went to see a Mariners game. Joe went to play with a friend and show his new glasses (see photo). He came home about 6:20 screaming and crying and bleeding. He was bleeding on his knee, his elbow and his side. His biggest concern was he had fallen and dropped his Yugio cards on the sidewalk and he asked me to get them. So I ran out and got them and when I came back in he was crying and shaking and Lucy was crying and shaking, terrified by Joe's crying and shaking. So I held both kids and then asked Lucy to help me fix Joe's wounds. We cleaned them and put on anti biotic ointment and bandaged them. Then when the bandages bled through I bandaged them again. It was a tramatic night.

Lucy in new shorts and halter top Grandma Donna gave her.

When Joe went to bed I held Lucy and told her stories about the little girl-in-the- Princess-Dress in the swing, on the slide, walking hand in hand with her big brother. She would make suggestions, "Read me the story about the girl in the Princess Dress and a kite" she would say. I was making up these stories so I wasn't reading but I knew what she meant. It was quite a week, three days and two nights with Joseph and then a night with Joseph and Lucy.

Proud Grandma

I am in love all over again with a little boy named Max. He is so cute, cooing and reaching up to me. Lucy and I went to the park across the street and she went down the slide and I went with her, over and over again...Lucy, not me. I got a bit worn out sooner than she did. She was so happy, laughing and giggling and running from the slide to climb up again and go down the slide again. We had so much fun together.

She was dancing yesterday before her mom and dad left for their movie date and you can check it out below and hear our comments on our "gracefull" little girl.
