Welcome! We are a Christian family who cares for elderly individuals in our home. There are so many quotes, stories, and photos that we wanted to share with our precious "Golden Girls'" families, which they could view quicker and could be updated easier on this blog than we would ever have time (and memory!) to share with them personally. We also thought others might enjoy reading and viewing along with the families on this great adventure of their loved ones' golden sunset years. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit with us and "The Grandmas"!

Party hard...

On December 5th Dad and Mom went to a surprise birthday celebration for Mr. S. Mrs. S. had been scheming for quite a while and was able to pull off this special dinner surprise:

Dinner talk

Dad and Mr. B

Mrs. B and Mrs. S (and Eric-boy)

While the grown-ups were out partying in their grown-up way, we were partying hard at home...

Jonathan!

These two could be named after the game

Johanna, Ellie, Jonathan and Josiah

Howdy!

Oh no!

Your order of fried grapes is ready!

For some reason Johanna and Josiah are both scratching their ears ;)

Surviving a crazy party!

Watching Planet Earth... well some of us were... Jonathan was climbing Mt. Sofa

Captivated

Mr. Smiley

Tackle!

You haven't lived until you've had Jonathan's microwave ice cream sundaes

Pajama parties and quiet times are the best


It was past their bedtime :)

"Do you see the green leaves? Can you say green, Jonathan?"

Josiah loves learning about dinosaurs... but he'll make exceptions for sharks

All Quiet on the Home Front
