Cora's 11th Birthday Celebration

Grandpa Jerry brought a frog! (He didn't know about the toad from earlier in the week!) The kids were delighted; Daddy Tony freed the frog later in the evening.

Hannah presenting her Mother's Day present to Carrie.

Opening Grandma Ginny's and Grandpa Mario's gifts. The certificate is for a class at the community college called "Stitching for Kids." She will go for 3 classes for "backpack mania." I took her today to get the fabric and supplies.

A fun shirt for hanging out. We all like hearts.

Opening presents.

Big bro.

Little bro in the tent. The birthday party included an outdoor movie and sleepover complete with tents in the back yard.

The birthday girl watching the movie from the patio. Or is she sleeping through the movie? Can't tell. She told me her tent stayed awake talking til 3 AM. However, she could not recall what they talked about!

Nolan and buddy watching the movie.

Hanging out in Grandpa's recliner Saturday night.

Thanks for my mother's day flowers Carrie and Chris. :o)

Uncle Jimmy called today to ask me to let everyone know they have cancelled the baby shower/picnic they were going to have for Jimmy and Eri in June. The baby was born prematurely last Sunday. Eri had developed an infection, and that caused the baby to come early. His name is Logan James Haycraft. He weighed 3 lbs., 11 0z. He will be in the premie center at Northwestern University for awhile. Uncle Jimmy asks for prayers from everyone for this newest little Haycraft and his parents. We can do that. At a later date, let's get something together for Logan.
