Since we moved back to Arkansas, a new tradition has unfolded! Because it’s birthday season at the Wittenberg house, grandparents journey to us!
Dad and I had a great morning out birding/hiking.
Showing off his new pet toad Simon.
New dishes courtesy of Nana!
Played lots of games.
Surprise surprise – Reed chose Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday meal.
Nana and Pops brought Leap – I think she’s now watched it no fewer than 25 times. And – that doesn’t include her favorite part, which I counted one day she rewound that part 16 times in one sitting!
Yes! My own Don’t Break the Ice!!
Birthday pancakes.
Nana accompanied C to her library class.
Reed’s birthday cake was a joint effort.
Pops, at some point you won’t be able to play airplane any more you know!
Nana taught C to sew on a machine!
A bike ride, then Mexican lunch.
This tote bag is what they sewed. Cute!
A boy and his dog.
Thanks Nana for getting pics of the things I usually miss!
Birthday cake #2!
Nana and Pops picked Reed up from school, but first read to his class.
They took C to violin one day, and sneaked in an ice cream stop!

Thanks Mammaw Capps!
C wanted to go boot shopping for her birthday. Went perfect with her new prairie dress!
She chose Chennai Cafe for her birthday meal. Lunch served family style on banana leaves!
Pops spent hours playing baseball with this boy!
He brought back persimmons for them to try – yuck! Not ripe!
She made her specialty – tuna salad sandwiches and cole slaw.
Souvenir from Nepal.
… more baseball, and collecting persimmons.
Nana did a First Aid badge for Girl Scouts.
