When I first started to get to know my husband David, we would share stories about our children when they were growing up and the funny things they said and did. One of the things he told me about Eric was that whenever there was an exciting event coming up (Christmas, vacation, weekend) Eric would want to know "how many sleeps?" until that event arrived. I must confess that both David and I...in our 60's...still talk in terms of "how many sleeps?" OK-I'm not sharing any more of our quirkiness at this time. But, with that being said, I just want to tell you that there are 2 more sleeps until this guys comes for a visit....
This picture was taken at the Outer Banks in September. That was the last time we saw Charlie up close and personal. We do have Skype (a free web service that enables you to talk and see the other person using a webcam) but it's not the same as real-time hugging and snuggling. Please click on the photo to enlarge so you can read Charlie's sweatshirt. I think he already is! LOL!
Because of the wicked winter we have had, this visit has been postponed several times which I think made Charlie very unhappy...
We're supposed to have a beautiful weekend here in the 'Burgh so we're planning on a fun time!
Papa and Daddy (Eric) are even going to go to the Penguins game on Saturday afternoon.
I also wanted to share with you, two boxes I recently altered and decoupaged for two very wonderful friends! I think I love decorating and decoupaging boxes more than just about any other paper art work I do.
Box 1
Box 2
Some people would never put a photo on their blog that was less than flattering. Hair, make-up and clothing need to be just right. After posting the picture of my sister and me on my last post (siblings always make silly, goobery faces when photographed together, don't they?) I thought I would just let it all hang out and show you this picture of Charlie and me taken in September. He was sitting on my lap and I made a face that made him belly laugh...then he made the same face at me and I belly laughed and it just went on and on from there! We carried on for a long time and my DIL snapped this picture. You may think it crazy but it's one of my favorites...ever! You can count on Gram being very silly this weekend...it's what I do best!
