Before I forget it, I promised Coleman that I'd publish the link to his Youtube channel:

My oldest grandson must have some of his Grandpa in him as he enjoys making videos and posting them online. Coleman hopes many of you will check out his channel and possibly subscribe. 

We're waiting this evening for Josh, Ellie, Wyatt, and Cody to pull in from Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Josh just sent a text saying they are in Worcester, Massachusetts, and fighting heavy traffic. ETA is in about an hour and a half.

Ivy and Andy arrived at Luke's early Thursday evening from their home in far northern Maine. We had such a good time catching up on all the news and it didn't take Ivy or her grandpa long to get to know each other.

Ivy and Grandpa had some quality time this morning making cookies out of Play Doh.

 Abigail, Luke, Andy, Ivy, and I, traveled to Portland, Maine, this afternoon and enjoyed lunch at a Chinese buffet.

Ivy could really suck down those Chinese noodles

 After, we went to Uncle Luke's fire station.

Daddy comes first in Ivy's life, but "Cunco Yuke" is a close second. Ivy absolutely adores her Teddy bear uncle and it's obvious he feels the same about his half pint niece. 

Come to think of it, all of Luke's nieces and nephews adore him and Luke has the gift of making each feel special.

 We bade Abigail and Luke goodbye after touring the firehouse and drove south into New Hampshire. Since Josh and his family are coming in from Connecticut tonight, Andy, Ivy, and I, decided to spend the night at Matt and Jess's. Luke and all will drive down tomorrow morning after Coleman and his daddy come in from deer hunting.

We had a wonderful visit this afternoon and evening. The munchkins played in the yard while the big people caught up on life.

Emerson borrowed Grandpa's camera and took this picture all by herself. Pretty good for a little girl who will turn five in a few days.

 Saturday brings the big family birthday party where we celebrate all the grandchildren's special days all at once.

Presents from Grandma Sargie and Grandpa are secured, decorations are ready to be hung, and pizza, cake, and ice cream, will be gotten tomorrow.

The weather is to be sunny and in the 60's, perfect for a special celebration!

It's time for Grandpa to take a shower and settle in for the night while waiting for Josh and everyone to arrive.



After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
