1/16 In Southern California

Jill and Hunter picked me up from the Burbank airport. After a brief lunch we went to school to pick up Ms. Kayla from first grade. I wasn't standing near Jill, and suddenly saw Kayla looking up at Jill with tears in her eyes. "Where's Grandma?" I immediately said, "Here I am, sweetie," and she was fine right away. What a treat to be able to make her so happy with just my presence.

I helped a little with her homework, and Jill finished. Afterward, Kayla and Hunter made a "water stand" indoors, where they pretend it's a hot day and sell water. I bought some for Jill and myself, and boy was it good. The cost was $6.51, so I was lucky they accepted pretend money.

Tonight, after dinner we'll have our (very) late Christmas. Can't wait.

Well, give everybody hugs from us. We love you all!!

Wow. This is going to be a good day--both my kids commenting at the same time. I'm not only in Grandma heaven, I'm in Mommy heaven too.

SO....did you have trouble with first grade homework.....is that why Jill had to finish it? Sorry..just thought that sounded funny....Glad you are having such a great time with Jill and the kids. I thought my grandma's were the greatest gifts on earth.

Guess I could have been more clear. But you get the picture. Who are you by the way?
