Catch up .....

I wanted to let you know what the days are looking like on our trip "east" to the Midwest
When Steve came we moved to the motel...and when I say WE...I mean....WE....Mazie has a room full of stuffed animals and since we stayed at the motel 2 days...several were able to come and visit. We always have to pack more out that we did the first trip. Cookie, Roger, Oliver, Snow, Waddles, Mazie (yes, she is named after her owner), Cutie...and I can't remember 2 of them...all came with us. We swam and had breakfast. We read stories and watched movies. And the kids still made it to school on time.
It is so much fun to spend time with these two precious bundles of joy...
Steve and Mazie read the paper. Steve is frequently seen with stuffed animals and dolls...and colors, and books....
He rides like the wind and that makes it very hard for a clear picture...he could ride every day. Unfortunately, today, he came home early and it had been raining....which meant no bike riding today....
This was also before our Fargo trek and Simon was loving making funny faces and poses while waiting for the bus...and Nana had her camera for just such an occasion...
Lacy, the dog, loves sleeping with me. She doesn't sleep with anyone else but allows me to feel special as she attempts to "cuddle". Anyone who knows Lacy knows she is NOT a CUDDLY dog. But, she wants to snuggle with me...until I move and then....I get growled at and she begrudgingly gives up her position and leaves the room.
Meeting the bus is one of my highlights. I get to see them when they get off of the bus. Simon and Tom, the bus driver, are friends. He thanks him every time he gets off the bus and greets him when he gets on. Just one of the many "skills" he is learning being part of the Boys Town Community! He also models this for some of the girls too!!!!
Maz and I walked to the gift shop on campus. When we got there we had to round up several stuffed animals and 4 books and read to the animals. There was no fussing about keeping them, they were put back in their spots but they did seem to enjoy the attention and really liked the stories....reported by our Mazie girl.
We left Omaha after a wonderful ballet recital. Mazie was great with both ballet AND tap.
Shuffle kick has never looked so good.
When we were going to the recital rehearsal, Mazie asked if she was going to be on a real stage. She was on that stage and did a great job!!
Right after treats at the DQ we headed to Fargo and the fam went to host their open house for their 6 graduating seniors.
