Crazy Zoom

Yesterday's Zoom call with our Kenyan family was a little crazy. First of all, our internet was extremely slow and then went out altogether. Secondly, Baby Z had her Kenyan 1st Birthday party and both her and her sister Little Flower were on sugar highs! :) Both of them were jumping around and couldn't sit still. Also, they only wanted to take their moms phone and carry it around. It was still so good to see their faces. I was joined by Miss Squirmalicious and Major Cuteness who kept saying, they're so cute, I love their little faces!

Soap

Little Flower just LOVED the new hand soap in the guest bathroom. It's called "You are My Sunshine". I bought it because of the name as my grandbabies are my sunshine. She would ask for the Sun soap and then, standing on the stepstool with the foam soap cupped in both hands, she would bring it to her nose and take a big sniff, and then bring back to her nose and take another big sniff!

Camps

Today started Volleyball camp for Squirmalicious and Soccer camp for Major Cuteness. They loved their camps! Both were extremely tired with achy legs. Miss Squirmalicious even fell asleep before dinner while watching TV in Grandpa's recliner!

Zoom

Little Flower, Baby Z, and their parents are back in Kenya now. Little Flower seems to have a bit of jet lag so it will do her good to get back to her routine with her nanny Auntie Lucy, Auntie Marcie, and school. Their visit went by so quickly. Miss Squirmalicious, Major Cuteness, and their parents joined us for our Sunday Zoom call. We're all missing each other.

Grandpa and I are so lucky to be meeting our Kenyans in London just over 5 weeks from now! Our son-in-law will be attending a class for his MBA and we're all joining him. Little Flower is a big fan of Peppa Pig and already has a British accent! Looking forward to seeing them all again. So wonderful that we don't have to wait so long.

Baby Z is 1!

Today our precious granddaughter, Baby Z is one! She too is such a unique child. I love seeing her run or crawl away from her chasing Dad, teasing us by pretending to share food, her first word of yum, and most of all her adorable smiling face. 

I have been so remiss in writing in this blog that I didn't even celebrate her birth. Sadly, I've not taken note of so many moments that I've probably forgotten. It seems crazy that my retired life seems so busy! I plan to change my calendar reminder to a current more conducive time of day with the hope that I will write more often.

Bye, see ya!

Little Flower is spending her first few days at the Malindi coast. She had a very busy day at the beach and swimming pool prior to our Zoom call. We could tell she was very tired and shortly into the call she started waving and saying, "Bye, see ya!" She is too much! I think I prefer a previous call when she was going all around saying "Meow, meow, meow!" What a joy. I can't wait until I can spend time with her. 

Roblox

I love when Miss Squirmalicious or Major Cuteness or both call me on Kids Messenger to play games with them! Sometimes we just play on Kids Messenger or use the feature to make funny faces. Most of the time we play games on Roblox. I am just so bad but they are so sweet and try to help me and save me. My heart loves that they reach out to me and I love spending "time" with them.
