Grandma (and Nanna) both now have iPads and are pretty cool! And I confess we don't take advantage of the beach as often as we should - we do love it when we go :-)
DeleteI really enjoy reading your blog. It's so down to earth, humorous and inspiring! I followed the link to Wombat girls (WG) blog - what a great job she did! I posted a comment there and feel very special to be the first one to comment on what is sure to be a fantastic blog by a great kid!
