And Eeyore was like, "Whateva." - Post #226

The title...you hear interesting things listening to your grandparents' radio stations.

Yesterday Nick and Yvette, my dad's older brother and his wife, came down to visit with their kids, Julia and Catherine. Caitlin, my dad's older sister's daughter, came too. this kids are adorable. We took them to the park and the farm, and they loved everything. Catherine tried her first ice cream (she's just a baby) and Julia (she's three) looked at a tortoise sleeping in its shell, turned to her mother and said sadly, "it's not working." I love kids. =)

Calum is definitely still just a big kid. We got out my grandparents' old toys for the girls to play with, and he was right there using the toy blocks with them. Then at the playground he could hardly resist joining in climbing on the climbing frame with the little kids. It's a tough spot to be stuck at, between a kid and a teenagerish sort of adulty thing.

Going to a Hearts game today...I like the shirt, it's nice. Calum is teaching Papa how to play a game on the computer (or trying to), so I must depart. At least it's sunny again today.

In other news, band camp Auguest 7th - August 10th. Excited? I am. it's going to be really really really weird with no seniors though. I'll miss Ryan and Bellemare. They were nice. no idea what it is we're supposed to be doing, but hey. It's band. I've missed it.

HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss you all lots & lots.

Hi Honey

Good ol Gorgie Farm!! We used to go there all the time! Do you remember your 3rd birthday party that you shared with Ross there? He had a Thomas cake and you had Winnie the Pooh. Loads of memories! I'm glad you had fun with all your aunts, uncles and cousins. Wish we all lived closer together!
Have fun at the Hearts match today. Don't forget to say hello to your godfather. It's a friendly match according to your father against Barcelona so shouldn't be full of crazy football hooligans as they say.
Yeah . . . See you tomorrow!!!!!!!
Love you Lots!

No, I don't remember, but I've seen the photos. Why must these memories be typed out?? Yes, I said hi to my godfather. His son's cute. =) Posting about it now.

Love you, miss you, see you tomorrow!! =)

These memories must be typed out for the sole purpose of embarassment . . . . . not really . . . only cause I can't tell you because you aren't here!

Love You!
