New Granddaughter Arriving Soon.

We have been staying near Carrie's house in Pearland, TX for a couple of weeks. She was due to have a baby girl a week ago but, as these things go, it hasn't happened yet. In the meantime Leah and her family came down for the last few days so we have had a great Thanksgiving with everyone. Carrie is scheduled to get induced tomorrow if she doesn't go in to labor today, it won't be long now.

Went to the local park yesterday. Megan and Paige on the swings.

Megan, Zack and a ladybug.

Nanna has taught them how to "trash".

Grannie's New Digs

We are now back in Whitehouse, TX after staying a little longer than planned in Illinois. It took some persuading by Tonya but she convinced her mother, "Grannie", to move in to a supportive living apartment for at least three months to give it a try. We hope she finds out most of her preconceptions about the place are wrong and realizes it is where she can get the most enjoyment out of the years of life she has left. She has her own furniture in a one bedroom apartment that has a small kitchen with a refrigerator and microwave. There is a main dining room in the complex where meals are provided. Various activities are scheduled every day so there is plenty of opportunity to interact with other residents, as well as assistance if needed from the staff. House cleaning and laundry services are provided if requested. There is also transportation to doctors, church, shopping etc. provided, although in Grannie's case she has her car there and can come and go whenever she wants. We bought her a new Bedspread and TV as house warming gifts. The place has just been open since August so you can see it is a nice, brand new facility.
