On Easter, we took the grandparents out for brunch: John's mom and grandma (the kids call her GGma for greatgrandma), and my dad. He has kind of tense relationship with these two women, however, he said today it was nice actually talking with his grandmother one on one, without being interuppted (the kids and my father being at the other end of the table). It still trips me out a bit that John is only a year younger than me, but his grandmother and my father are only a couple of years apart themselves.

Or cupcakes, really...I realized the night before that we had been waiting to get together with the Grandmas for Angus's birthday, but first GGma took a spill down the porch steps, got all banged up and spent some time in the hospital (she's fully recovered now) and then his mom had been sick. So we had never gotten together for Angus's official birthday cake. I saw these at the grocery store and thought they were pretty cute - and wow, you don't need a knife! So a very late cake this year.



He wanted the bunny's noggin, of course...

Wow, how lucky for your kids to have such a youthful great-grandmother.

She and John's mom started early; my dad started late - I guess I followed suit. ;)

She's 85, and just recently finished her second knee replacement, but she seems like she should be around for a while yet, provided her asthma doesn't get any worse.
