The Green Bridge

Another generation meets and enjoys "The Green Bridge"

Last playdate of summer

We enjoyed several hours of FUN at Angela's house. Grace and Natalie graciously entertained Kamryn and Samantha while Ang and I watched Kellen and Clara (who are only weeks apart in age).Poor Ang had just come back from physical therapy, had a terrible spasm in her calf and still was able to entertain.....amazing.

 Samantha, Natalie,Grace, Kamryn, Clara and Kellen.

Playground

This is the last full week that I will babysit Kellen and Kamryn. Tim finally has a job working from home and Robyn has accepted a job at St. Lukes Hospital in Pennsylvania (no more long commute).
Next week I will only get Kellen on Tuesday and Friday as he will be starting part time in daycare. Robyn will be off then for two weeks before beginning her new job  and Kellen will transition into full time daycare.
Today, we went out and took a walk down the park road, from the waterfall to the playground. Kellen walked/ran the whole way. My energizer bunny! Kamryn and I followed . Then we spent one and a half hours at the playground. (The boy took his first 2 1/2 hour nap in a very long time, at my house.)

I am sure going to miss seeing these guys at least once a week!

I am going to buy two web cams, one for me and one for Tim. That way we can set up skype accounts and I can at least see and hear them once a week or more!

 THE CRAYOLA FACTORY - EASTON, PENNSYLVANIA

GUESS WHO HAD THE MOST FUN ?

CMT Awareness Night at the Patriots Stadium

CMT is short for Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome, a nueromuscular disease that is found in the Muscular Dystrophy Family. It is degenerative and is passed from one family member to another. Doug has it, our son Tim has it and our grandson Kellen is too young to diagnose. Our Girls may also have it or be carriers of the gene. Although it is not life threatening, the onset of CMT is life altering and debilitating.
In support of research we attended the Double Header/Fireworks game at Patriots Stadium, Bridgewater, New Jersey, yesterday, Saturday, August 11, 2012.

 Guess who said...."I know you!" The girl in blue - Lori Mattheiss, was our first employee at Scrapbooking Moments In Time in Bound Brook, New Jersey. Standing next to her is Alanna Huber, the group leader for the NJ. CMT Association. Lori's son was diagnosed with CMT three years ago (lori carries the gene)

 We also met family there! Have not seen them in ten years but here at Patriots Stadium we met Bruce Rex and his daughter Karen Rex Lambert.
Can you tell that they are related? In the background is Bruce's wife, Kathy. It was so nice to talk to them again.

 UH! OH! clouds are moving in .....Let's finish the first game.

 And the second game of the double header begins.

 Look at those happy faces having fun!

 Rain, rain go away.......

Bridgewater New Jersey has an ordinance that fireworks cannot be set off after 11pm. The rain delays prevented the fireworks.....But  everyone was offered to turn in their tickets for another FREE game!

Going back to July 21

Samantha turns F I V E !

FIVE!  5  FIVE!  5  FIVE!
