We went to Fargo right after school. The kids finally fell asleep about 9:30 and we pulled into Fargo at the Tengesdals at around 11:30. Long trip, lots of rain. On the up side...Lacy got into her crate and didn't run away....
One of the highlights of going to Fargo including seeing Grampa, Gramma, Uncle Jerod, and Jen...was EMMA and JANE were coming over on Saturday morning...
Waiting was really hard for these two. They waited...and waited...outside...
They looked both ways on the street. Were they EVER going to come? It was a very long wait but then the black car drove up and there was gleeful screams and joy ringing through the house.
Simon was a little cautious at first. This little baby may have stolen the love of his favorite person. Did she still love him too? And this baby? Was there room in her heart for both of them. He liked her. He just approached her...like a boy!!!!!
Mazie got Lucy the Leopard in Disney world and Emma smiled at it then so she knew that Emma would really love to see Lucy again. And she was right. Emma did love Lucy and Mazie was thrilled that she still loved Emma and could make her smile!
Lucy was not the only one who could make Emma smile. Mazie loved her little cousin and Emma laughed whenever Mazie was around. Here they were playing on the floor....
Janie always has a project and great ideas. Here she was stirring up the cement so that the kids could make stepping stones for Gramma Betty and Nana.....
While we waited for the cement to dry enough so we could put feet into it...a game of Mother may I? was played and Simon says. The kids love their Aunt Jane and I think this "cemented" the fact in Simon's mind that even though Emma entered the picture...she still loved her Simon Bear!!!
Cement ready....Auntie held, Nana pressed the toes into the cement!!!! Simon first...
Then Mazie.....
There was time for everyone to cuddle with Auntie Jane...
Mazie made "birthday cake" for my birthday and served everyone...even Lacy got a plate for the cake...and placed so she wouldn't have to move very far!
There was time to read books...this was a favorite both the book and the person! And both of them know it well enough that I couldn't read different words....
Emma has gotten very good at kissing and LOVES to kiss. Poppa wasn't a fan (to his credit...he wasn't fond of them with our own kids) but Nana LOVES kisses! And Nana and Emma kissed a lot...
Poppa was good for a laugh. She loves her Poppa and he is quite smitten with her!!!!
More kisses...more love....not great pictures....
Simon and Mazie love playing with the other dogs that live at Tengesdals. Here they were petting Teka Rose....later Simon was teasing Teka like he does with Lacy. Lacy is more tolerant that Teka and Abby....when warned by his Aunt that it may not be smart to do that...he replied...that's okay...I'm good with dogs.
When he later fed Emma, he reflected, I am good with babies too.
It's good that he realizes his strengths....
Getting 3 to pose is a bit of a struggle but...we love these kiddos. and what fun we have had together. I feel so blessed!!!
Yesterday, we traveled back to Omaha. Steve left Sunday morning early, and so it was the 3 of us and Lacy. We stopped and I paid for our water and treats and turned around to see these two monkeys with hats and glasses and of course...willing to pose!!!!! I love these 2 so much... they are so much fun.
We have some exciting things and surprises coming in the next 2 days. Stay tuned....
