Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

ALWAYS No. 15! -
Aunt Nappy - (the favorite!)

Yes, she's about a foot taller than me! (and even taller now)

Can you believe our baby girl is 19 today?! Wow-wee how time flies! It seems like she was just a wee-one climbing on top of everything (like motor homes!), hoop shoots, raising her steers for the fair and High School sports teams.
She just finished her first year of college and is back home for the summer looking for a job. (send any suggestions her way!) It's nice to have her back home although I'm sure she'd rather be living somewhere else! We tend to like to know where she is and when she'll be home! (Rules of home life still exist - even at 19!)
Sports has always been a major part of Jessica's life and we sure enjoyed watching her play from the time she was very little. She played little league baseball with the boys because girls teams were boring!
Have a Happy Birthday - We love you lots.

Moving Day!

Grams bewildered look - (She had this quite often!)
Contemplating what to do next?!
Wahoo - one room empty! Elaine's happy about it!
Ellen taking a rest.
Gramps about to lose his britches! (Not sure what they're discussing -
probably the record player!)
Today was the day we started moving Grams and Gramps Nicholas out of their house! Wow, what a job. We just got home from loading more stuff and it doesn't look like we made much of a dent in their house! They have collected a lot of things over the years. (You can acquire alot in 94 years!) My advice to whoever reads this - start "de-junking" your houses NOW!
We got their bed, dressers, clothes, bathroom essentials, etc. moved so they can now call Nancy's house "Home". (Thanks Nancy!).
They have been very blessed to have stayed in their own home for all these years. Gramps is 94 and Grams is 89. We will miss having them close by - not being able to stop on our way home from work - but they are not too far away.
Here's some pictures from the big day (aren't you glad you're on a mission Anne and Roy!!!).
