Nana's Visit

.
Ainslee and I went to get Nana and Case to bring them here to SC Feb. 5. Case was coming home and Nana was coming for a two week visit. Two weeks didn't seem like enough when it was all said and done, but we did enjoy her while she was here. The purpose was for Nana to get a break. She takes care of my aging grandmother and hasn't been away from there for several years. I hope it helps her. I sure know it helps me to have her here. She is a great help with the house. She takes it upon herself to help me keep up with the daily upkeep. She also is great with the kids. I have been trying to get Amelia to go outside and make fairy houses as in her book, but she never would. I knew that if I went out there and helped she would take off with it, but I never did that. Nana did. She is good about things like that. She does the things I know I should, but don't. Thank you, Nana. She also helped the kids make a this lovely Valentines Mobile.

During her visit we discovered an island (really a peninsula) to explore at the end of the neighborhood leisure trail. It was a great adventure. While exploring, we found "bones" buried below a tree. We truly believe it to be a part of a tree root, but it really did look like long bones secretly buried.
Nana left with Brian on Feb 20Th to go back home, but we hope to see her again soon... perhaps in June or July.
