BASEBALL ANYONE??

How Precious is Sam's little face without all her front teeth? Sam & Brendan both had baseball games last night at 6pm in the same baseball field but across from each other, so Stace & I ran back and forth to watch both of their teams play ball. After Sam's game we all watched Brendan play baseball because his game was still going. It was alittle chilly out because the field is right by the water and we had a great time.

Seems we will have a chef in the family, Tomorrow Sam starts cooking classes and I can't wait to see what she makes.

Brendan by 3rd base.

Above is Brendan up at bat. and below is Sam up at bat. Oh, the yelling that you hear, yep, thats me! I am a rowdy grandma at their baseball games, I get way too excited, but I absolutely love going to watch them play and they want me to go to all their games so they love it too! I once asked Brendan after one of his games....Bren did you hear me yelling for you and he said.......Grandma......everyone heard you...lol......Sam did a great job last night at blocking out my calls of encouragement for her. Last year (her 1st year playing) she was up at the plate and I yelled ....GO...SAM.!.. so she stopped ...turned around and yells out....whatcha say grandma.......it was so funny but the coach just shot me a look...so last night she said that she was not going to turn around when I yell and she didn't...great job sam! and a great hit by both of them, it was 2 great games, I can't wait until Delaney and Natalie play, wow! that will be 4 games that I will be going to, how exciting! I totally can't wait!

WAITING TO COME HOME....

My mom (nana yola) is feeling much better and is ready and waiting to come home any day now. Poor nana was in the hospital for 4 days and now in rehab for 11 days, she is so home sick and really wants to get back home. Below are some photos of nana that I have been taking over the past 14 days.

My sister Ann actually took this photo the other day and if she comes on to my blog she is going to see that I "borrowed" it from her blog...I just really love the photo, sorry Ann. This is my mom with her sister Rose. Aunt Rose is in the same rehab as my mom and my mom is so happy to go upstairs and visit with her sister everyday. My mom doesn't get to see her sister Rose because it is so hard for her to make the trip to the rehab so although she wants to come home soon, she is enjoying her visits with her sister.

This photo of my mom and my sister Ann was taken awhile back, but because its so hard to get a photo my sister, and because I put photos of my other sisters on this blog, I just had to throw this photo in.

I took this photo of my mom and sister Ellie last night just before we left the rehab.

Here is my mom with her great grandaughter Delaney who just happens to be my darling lil grandaughter, Delaney had a great time visiting with her nana yola.

Here is a photo of my sister Jean at the hospital getting ready to answer a pay phone, she's too funny.

Here is a photo of me, my mom, and my moms other sister Margie. it was taken at the Carney Hospital. Although I don't have any photos of them (because I forgot my camera) duh! ... Christy & Cindy & Stacey & Dawn came in to see nana also and she was so happy to see them.... Nana is feeling a lot better since this photo was taken, so nana we hope you come home soon & We love you!

SOME DOGGIE LOVIN............

AT CHRISTY & CINDY'S On friday morning christy called and asked us if we could go over and let the grandpups out to run around for awhile and of course, to go potty. She was able to get last minutes tickets to the Red Sox game for fri for her and cindy but the dogs would be alone for the whole day.

So Gedy & I went over twice once about 2pm after the maintenance guys left, and then again about 8pm. The dogs were so excited to see us that they were cutting in front of each other to get our attention, it was too cute. The above photo is of Jacoby (left) and Apollo fighting over a toy.

Here is Jacoby giving gedy some puppy lovin, gosh, she is so cute.

And here is Jolie waiting for gedy to rub her belly, the minute she sees him she lays down for her belly rub. I can't believe how smart and how well behaved these dogs are, not to mention Happy.

OH THESE CRAZY HANDS!

Remember back about 2 months ago I bought these crazy hands in Marshalls and I just wasn't sure what to do with them? Well, it turns out that I didn't have to do anything with them, everyone seems to get the biggest kick out of them and finds a use for them. It seems like everyday there is something different sitting in the hands, Today it is toilet paper and a bottle of water put there by the maintenance guy. I had no idea that these crazy hands would turn out to be such an attraction, its really funny.

The toilet is back in the bathroom now and the sink was put in today too, It is starting to look like a real bathroom again. The maintenance crew will all be back tomorrow morning for coffee and muffins and to finish the bathroom......I hope.

We had company today, Dee & Nat came to visit with us while stacey went to the drs. They were running around playing with each other and it was just so cute to see how close they are, Nat calls Della every 5 seconds and just has to constantly be with her big sister whom she adores. Delaney on the other hand is in a great spot, she can be grown up and hang out with her big sister sam, or she can just run around all silly like giggling with her baby sister Natalie and it seems that she enjoys both. I took some photos of the girls running around playing but this one is by far my favorite.
