Henry Loves to Clap!





Henry is really into clapping right now. It is so cute! He also waves bye-bye (even if you aren't going anywhere). This music teaching grandma is especially excited that he taps his toys "in time" to the music. A very talented little guy, indeed!

He has been sick since last Wednesday with an ear infection & fever. Pray that he will start feeling better. He went to the doctor on Wednesday & got amoxicillin but he's now coughing & congested (and still feverish) so Becca is going to call the doctortoday to see what she suggests.

He has been so snuggly and sweet even while feeling miserable. Today he is with Grandma Watson (she is off for President's Day) and I know that she is enjoying spending the day with him. He is our precious little valentine!

Henry has been able to come with me on Fridays to Village. He loves being with the other babies and moving and playing instruments with the music. However, he is always exhausted by the end of class and ready for a nap. What a privilege it is to care for him each weekday afternoon (and all day on Friday).

If anyone can help me disable the music for the slide show, I'd appreciate it. I have tried but to no avail. I just wanted to have the snow background for my pictures but the only way I could figure out how to do it was to have the music video attached. I REALLY want the music to GO AWAY but can't do it without deleting all of my pictures. I have had quite a time getting any pictures on my blog - I don't want to start all over again. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

He is so cute!!! I am sure he will be most talented because his Gramma will be teaching him all kinds of music!

He is so cute!! I guess Sara said the same thing! Love the hairdoo!

I think it must be the particular slide show you got into, as far as the music goes. I use slide.com, I think and never had any music with mine.

I am so glad to see new pics of Henry! I know you are having fun!

Henry is so sweet. I wish I could hug and kiss him, too. Hope he is feeling better. Thanks for your calls and prayers.

A Christmas Engagement Story

December 21 was my sister, Gail, and brother-in-law, Paul's, 55th anniversary! What a a wonderful milestone and an example of commitment to each other. Thinking of their day so long ago (I was a 12 year old bridesmaid at their beautiful Christmas wedding), reminded me of my engagement story. I decided to post our story on the blog about our continued journey together. At the time of our engagement both Rich and I taught school in Denver at Silver State Christian School. Although Rich taught junior high and I taught 1st grade, we came together for staff meetings each week. We both worked with the junior high youth group at church and got to know each other through ski trips and other youth activities. We started to date in 1975 right after my Christmas vacation trip back home to Minnesota - but that is another story! Rich and I became engaged 43 years ago on Christmas Eve. We were in Minnesota for Christmas with my family (the first time everyone would meet my boyfriend) in 1977 and...

Vacation and COVID-19

It is a little difficult to write about our time in McCall objectively because I tend to have rose colored glasses about vacations in general and McCall in particular. However, the week of Family Camp was a bit challenging for Rich because he was away from his regular routines at home. He was surrounded by people each day and although they were a bit familiar, he couldn't remember their names or how he knew them. Our assistant pastor, Bobby Truax, was at our breakfast table one morning and Rich whispered to me, "What is his name?" Bobby overheard the question and without skipping a beat said, "Hi Rich! My name is Bobby." Over and over throughout the week, the men at camp spent time talking to Rich (and often answering the same questions numerous times) and making him feel a part of conversations. I am so appreciative! We played games with several different groups and every person was patient with Rich when he didn't understand the rules or felt overwhelmed b...

Laughter and Pets

I told Rich today that I was blogging about our journey with dementia. I felt that it was only fair that I let him know that I was making this public. He was characteristically upbeat and sweet. He said that he thought it was wonderful that I was putting down my thoughts and chronicling the road that we are walking together. He said that he wanted to use his journey to bring glory to God and point others to the Prince of Peace!  In the spirit of full disclosure, I must confess that I lost my glasses this morning. It is humbling to realize that I needed Rich's help to find them (and he did find them)! Perhaps we both need a pair of back-up glasses! 😆 We have learned to laugh at many things that are part of our lives now. Rich's meds evidently give him lots of air bubbles and he belches long and loud (and dare I say - proud)!! I have to admit that the many noises that he emits is a bit irritating at times but usually we bust up and LAUGH! What can you do?  Rich's favorite sh...
