Jenna Bug and Bo

Alixa is one of the fearless mothers in the world. When her first baby (Jenna Bug) was just three weeks old, I invited her to accompany me on a road trip across the country in an Excursion with three adult women and four children. We were planning to drive several thousand miles and be gone six weeks. She eagerly accepted. She is crazy! Well, two weeks ago, she showed her courage once again when she packed up a "two 'n uh half" year old (Jenna Bug) and a nine month old baby (Blake Owen) and flew by herself out to Utah to see us. And it wasn't even a direct flight!! The three of them were here from January 18th to February 3rd, and we had a wonderful time! Thanks to Lixi for being so plucky. Thanks to Jenna and Bo for being such incredibly well behaved children. Thanks to Jarom for enduring many days of loneliness so that we could enjoy our grandchildren for a few days. We love them all!   And now, all of my readers out in Blogging Land must tell me how adorable my grandbabies are!

 Will you chase me?

 Will you chase me?

 Will you chase me?

 Will you chase me?

 Will you help me make a basket?

 She never runs out of energy!  She wore them all out!
