full of "tired"s and smiles

Hi again :) well, tomorrow is the day, folks! a new granddaughter - Evoly Mercedes - I'll fill you in of all of that later (I'm sure Sarah will eventually and maybe even Emily will, too) I've spent my days here in Virginia helping Sarah get ready for Evoly's big day and playing and sleeping with Emily's two wonderful little beauties! (they sleep beside my couch/bed on their own mattress on the floor - they switch days with me) I also spend lots of time each day reading to them out of library books, after our trips there. I bought a new children's book - a Caldecott Honor Book (which means it didn't win the award for best art work of the year, but was in the top 5 or so) It's "The Talking Eggs" Sarah and I saw in on one of our trips to the book store - she loved it when she was younger, so I bought it in honor of her. I'll have her sign it :) It will become part of my permanent kids-grandkids "Nana library". So many things going on here - which include fixing Sarah's car all up (LOTS needed done!) -- and shopping for Emily as well (she will attend her 10th High School Reunion right before George and Lynnette get married on 19th August) We've also been to going away parties for a cute family in Emily's ward - they are moving to Vienna, Austria this Friday (the 'girls' stayed out until 2:30 AM!!! - not me, too tired) We've seen two movies - Harry Potter and Hairspray - both great ones - go check them out. I haven't done any sewing yet, but I must get Miriam's monkey blanket done, plus 2 sock monkeys and a Maid of Honor dress for one of Emily's future sisters-in-law. Plus help Sarah sew a blanket for Evoly. Then I plan to finish a knitted baby afghan -- do you think I take on too many things?? ya think?!?!? We've also been enjoying reading Livvy's blog on her two "wild baby" boys (check out her blog) and of Mandy's newly announced wedding in early Septembeer -- never a dull moment in MY family! It's almost midnight now, to ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - nighty night ;) ((by the way - it really is almost midnight here in Virginia - if you see the time signature below it says almost noon - that's because my blog is set to Singapore time and Virginia is 12 hours earlier)) plus I've managed to read 2 books while ZZzzzzzzzzzzz - "E" is For Evidence and Wish You Well -- Now starting Harry Potter's newest and last adventures (I take Zantac eveyday, too!! hehe!!!>:-)
