Happy little faces

This evening we had to say goodbye to these 5 grandchildren and their parents as they set off to their home in a neighboring state. It's a ride of about 6 hours, so they time it for a few stops and then, hopefully, the children fall asleep the last half of the trip.

It was fun to see them and get a few more pictures...

.

Our oldest grandson is now taking piano lessons and he enjoyed playing our piano.

I can tell that he is a natural, both with his manual dexterity and his musical ear.

.

Next comes this smiling fellow. He is full of energy, full of smiles and has the most tender spirit towards younger children and babies.
.

He is great buddies with his cousin, who is a year younger.

.

Then there is this gal! All girl! All talking... talking, talking, talking...
questions, questions, questions...
drama, drama, drama...
Yup. She is an adorable little female grandchild!
.
We thought you might need to see her new hair-do.

It's so cute.

.

This grandson was a happy little boy, he had a DVD player and a Diego video all to himself!

.

He also enjoyed playing with the Mayflower ship.
.
And then there is the newest member of our growing family... this sweet little pumpkin!

I tried to get a few pictures of her smile...
.

Actually, it wasn't that hard.

This grandparent thing is mighty fine.
