Seeing my Grandson, Mikhail

What a wonderful night this has been! To see my grandson after all these years. a little over 3 to be exact!! Mikhail now 4 is such a handsome lil man and he looks like his sister, Shayanna 14 mo and big brother, Jayden 5 yrs - Don't you think??? jayden and Mikhail have the same smiles and similarities of looks for Shayanna and Mikhail.. genetics :)

The boys got along so well. Shayanna was just there as she was interested in trying to drink our soda instead and playing on the slide. Mikhail even called me Grandma.. which to be honest chocked me up inside.. Vernon aka Papa was excited too but you know us women... emotional and mushy!!

And if you think these are the only pictures I took - not even close!! Time to scrap a new book!!

We will see each other again as we are NOW playing the roll of grandparents! PRAISE THE LORD!!

NEW trampoline for Jayden

We joined the rest of the neighborhood and got Jayden his very own trampoline! Vernon and Jayden put it together and yes.. I did help too :). Jayden was so excited to get on and every day since he has been jumping.
MAY I give you a piece of advice.. as you see me jumping and bounced down on my bottom... BE CAREFUL!! guess what I did.... pulled some tendons or whatever they call it in my groin.. OW! this hurts!!

Heartspring Autism walk on 10 April 2010

Jayden and I and MANY others walked 2 miles on the little bit of a windy day but otherwise nice outside! I was very proud of Jayden as he kept his 'thoughts"on the importance of walking... There was bouncing rooms at the end of the walk!
He became a little anxious with so many people around him but we overcame this and continued our journey to the food.. I mean the end...
We walked with new friends as they too have families with Autism and we all share a bond in one way or another. Besides the 4 boys are about the same age and in Tae Kwon Do together.
Thank you for your support as we raised $100.00!
