Well, here we are again. We flew on the world's longest flight - Sydney to Dallas - for 16 hours! We spent the night in Dallas and then Aaron picked us up in Denver. It was good to see him again and catch up a bit.
My niece, Amber, and her housemate, Gaby, who live in our condo, had tidied things up quite nicely, so we slotted right in to life there. Their cat, Inara, allowed us to act as if we belonged there and quickly adjusted to two extra laps and many more scritchies. The grandchildren are ADORABLE!

| I brought some cheapo Pirate accessories and Jude and Lily loved playing dress-up for a bit. Lily is a bit out of place in her fairy dress and her eye-patch! |

After the initial five minutes - they got into mix and match and "do it yourself".

Aaron had the great idea of putting eyebrows on as Jude's mustache.
|
 |
| They got a big kick out of seeing themselves dressed in their funny get-ups after I snapped their photo. |
Why are pirates so cool? Because they AAAARRRGH! They picked up the lingo quickly - "Walk the plank!" "Aaargh you landlubber!" It was a fun morning.
Karla said this was really good for Jude to be able to dress-up, because it happened for Lily all the time with her princess clothes. So, since that worked, the next day, I brought some do-it-yourself masks. Jude and Lily got to put them together by gluing the pieces on before they modeled them - so this an art project as well.

| Owen as a froggie |

| Lily the Lady-bug |
These are such sweet, fun kids! We had a blast for three days - and then we took off on our road trip!
More later...
Love and light,
Kathy
Fairy pirate princess with a little froggie brother. Why not?
