Mother's Day fun

It was Mother's Day for those of us in England last Sunday. All of the women received a couple of daffodils and a little bookmark from the children at church. It's lovely having a few fresh flowers around - something we haven't had in ages. Some of the girls made me some cards the day before too - I had to keep out of the way while that was going on (that was meant to be a relaxing hour on my own reading, but ending up being me making tea/dinner in the kitchen instead.:o))

Granma came to our church today, invited by my brother, and went to their house for lunch after where she was joined by Gramps. They were coming to see us for tea, and did eat a bit but in the end had only just eaten with David and Rachael, so they nibbled a bit and Dad entertained us a little. He doesn't mean to be funny, he just often is! We hardly ever see him, and we miss him a great deal - it's fun to have him around. We also hadn't seen my Mum for a couple of months as she has been working for a while now. Rebekah has been pleading regularly to go to their house, but we have no car to get us there easily now and can't afford the train fare either. So Rebekah was over the moon that Granma would be coming for tea.

Anyway, it was really fun seeing them for a bit. We had to quietly get out the camera before we could catch any of Dad/Gramps demonstrating to the girls one of the pieces of music Torvil and Dean had danced to. It was just ordinary conversation, and then he started putting on a little show that I just wanted to keep to remind the girls. I missed the liveliest parts (most of it actually), but you get the idea. Gramps is fun! :o)



When Mum read our post about the Noah game she said she wanted to try it, but didn't know if she could keep from laughing. So we also made time for a little go of the Noah game (our sign-language version of it). Choosing all of our animals took a little while as we had to like the sign of the animal we had chosen! Granma was right about the laughing!! I was too busy with Peter to get it mostly and when I was done the batteries dies, but again, you get the idea:



Can you guess what all of the animals were?
