Mark and I are feeling a tad older today - our oldest grandson, Drew is a teenager! How can that be? WOW......where-oh-where does the time go? We wish Drew (and his parents) lots of fun times ahead during these teen years!
We have a lot of special memories from 12/1/99 to the present and will be exciting to watch Drew grow into his teen years and become a young adult!
Happy Birthday Drewby

We had a good day at home getting more jobs done, updating lists, etc. Dreary but warm (60's)!
Yesterday (Friday) Anne and I took the 7:30 train to Chicago and had so much fun. Weather was ideal for strolling Michigan Avenue and State Street. We shopped, browsed, had a great lunch at Grand Lux, and topped off the day with a visit to Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza. This open-air event is set up as a European Village during the holiday season with vendors from all over . Sooo many ornaments and other decorative European specialty gifts, along with wonderful food and drink made for a very festive atmosphere. We bought some treats (hot and sweet) for the train trip home.

Liam and Connor stayed with Grandpa - and here they are with their new "Elf on the Shelf" which they are calling "Elvis"
Excited little boys
Mark and I went to 4:30 Mass, delicious dinner at Baxter's and then short visit with
Ed and Donna Rae.

Evening Pat: Spent a wonderful warm afternoon with our new teenage grandson. Can't believe how the time has flown these thirteen years. The kids finally used last years Christmas gift from us doing the zip line here in Morganton. Of course, they loved this activity and little Brady was a trooper doing everything the big boys were doing. Michael was under the weather, but hung in there and completed zipping. Brooke said he went on to bed after getting to the lake so hope he is better tomorrow. We have had nice weather this week and so glad you and Anne had a nice day in Chicago. JudyB
