Boys Will Be Boys

On this New England road trip not only did we get to spend time with the newest family member, 2-week old, granddaughter but also her 4-1/2 year old brother.

Okay, which one of you guys left the secret book laying around? I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing!

P.S. We also revert to boyhood more and more with age. At least that's the case with me and i'm having a ball with it :-)

THANK Everyone for your comments.

Chip, we really are enjoying our second childhood too. It's just as much fun as the 1st time around.

Hi Lois & Christine (Mama-Bug), those last 2 photos were my favorites as well, so I used them again.

Yes Diana, Daisy & Elaine, we are doubly blessed with grandkids.

Grammie G, he is quite a handsome fellow even at his young age (sigh) and takes after his dad.

Hi GBS, completely understand your impartiality and am sure your sons also provided much joy.
