Here are a few pictures of some of the fun we had on our trip to Indiana. Make sure you scroll down because I will need to make a few entries to cover all we did.

Indiana or Bust!!!

Clarke and his sweet family were so kind to us and made our stay so fun.
Andrew and Grandma made a gingerbread house one day while Lucy was napping.
Lucy loved her grandpa to swing her and everytime she saw him she would back into him and say AGAIN??? She is so sweet.

Grandma took the kids to the Museum in Indianapolis.... there were lots of fun exhibits and they did great in the museum.

Jared and I flew to Indiana to see Clarke and his family. We did many activities and were able to bond with Lucy and Andrew who live so far from us. Grandma Weiss joined us for the fun and we had a great time. After spending 4 days with Clarke and his family we rented a car and drove to Ohio to see our newest grandaughter... Sydney.

A close-up of Sydney!



Isn't she a beautiful baby. Suzy and Spencer are great parents!!! We are proud of them.



Meet Sydney, granchild # 6

Sydney Loves to look at her Mommy. She is so alert!!!
See how alert she is. She is so fun to kiss and she loves it!!!
Spencer is such a great Dad and has the right touch to get her to sleep!!!
She how she adores her daddy. She stares right at him. She knows him well and responds to his songs and voice. That's a proud grandad too.

Here is four generations. Grandma Weiss, Me , Spencer and Syndey.


Jared and I were able to take a vacation and go to visit our new grand-daughter in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. My mother also flew in for the occasion so we could get some 4 generation shots. Sydney is a beautiful girl and I am amazed at how well she knows her daay and her mommy. When Spencer takes her she smiles at him and stares right into his eyes. She is so aware of his presence and he , of course is the proud dad.

Allyson turns 16!!!

Happy Birthday Ally!!!
Fun Fetti cake...her favorite!!!!

Allyson, Gabby and Adella


Entering the restaurant........Surprize!!!
November 1st Allyson turned 16 and had a very busy day. It started with a 3 hour volleyball clinic at MJC. I had arranged a surprize luncheon with several of her friends. Soooo... the volleyball players said they were taking her out for lunch and then we were there with all the girls to wish her a happy birthday. She doesn't like big parties or attention on her birthday and was a liitle mad at me but quickly got over the shock and all had a good time. Then Ashley took her to see HS musical 3 with a few of Ally's friends. To top that off a balloon bouquet arrived with balloons that said YOU...ME....FORMAL????? She was asked to go to the High School winter formal.Then she went to dinner and hung out with friends. I love Ally!!! I am glad she is mine!!!!
