Liam visits

I went and got Liam on Sunday, December 19th. I took him
back on Wednesday, December 22. Rather, I met Sarah and
Greg each time around Winnie. We were busy the whole time
he was here. We climbed on the trailers. We hid in the horse trailer.
We climbed on the horse trailer. We sat on tractors, lawn mowers, and
4 wheelers. We have lost the key to the 4wheeler, so we can only
sit on it. We fed the animals. We rode in the wagon(rather Liam rode,
I pulled. When Randy was here, he rode on the lawnmower(or as he
calls it...the longmower) and went for a ride in Pawpaw's big truck.
We went to the synchronized light show at the railroad museum in
Dequincy. You put your radio on a certain station and the music is
synchronized to the lights on and around the museum. Liam loved
the Polar Express song the best.

Liam had helped put up the big tree the last time he was
here, but he wanted the lights on first thing every morning.

I always put up a second tree in the kitchen that is snowflakes,
lighthouses, and pointsettias. Liam helped with the snowflakes.

One day while Liam was here, we went to the post office to
mail some Christmas packages, went to the park, and then
had lunch at McDonalds. While we were at the park, a train
came through. Liam, who loves trains, was frightened by
the large, close, real train. He jumped into my arms from the
slide. He said, "Choo Choo scare me. Liam cry". If you look
closely, you can see how close the tracks are. We had a good
time at the park. We went home and both of us took a
two hour nap!

This is Liam with Christine and John Profito. Christine was
Sarah's best friend in high school, a room mate in college, and
is Liam's god mother. They were down from D.C. visiting
her parents here in Fields. When they found out Liam was
here, they had to come see him. Liam was glad to see his,
"Nan" and John. They brought books and M&M's which
made their visit even better!

Hooking up the bushhog to the blue tractor. Liam loves
tractors and combines so that is what he got for Christmas
at the Brooks house;

Waiting for Pawpaw to get the combine out of the box. When
he opened this combine, he said,"Oh my gosh!" If you have
a tractor/combine loving boy....go to Tractor Supply.

I forgot that if you get busy doing something that a toddler
will make their own fun. As was brushing my teeth and
washing my face, Liam found something to do. He took
the papason apart and got in the base. This was after
he locked the door to the toilet, then closed it. It took
2 days to finally get it open.

Sarah, Greg, and Liam are moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Greg will go up the end of January. Sarah and babies will go
up sometime in March. I am trying to savor all the time I
can with them. The new baby will be here any day. I will
try to spend as much time as possible with her before they
leave. I wish I could retire and become a professional
Nana...traveling between all the babies all the time.
