Happy Birthday Nana!

July 27th was Nana's 97th birthday! There is always a big cookout at Auntie's house for her birthday. We had a great time! The kids get to swim in the pool, there is always a lot of food and fun! Nana is getting more and more forgetful these days..........she remembers our names most of the time, she remembers the great-grandkids names with a little hint. Usually when I visit it is just the girls and I and she always asks "how is your husband". I have wondered during these visits if she remembers his name. At the end of the party on Sunday, as Joe and I were walking out, she said "Is Joe married". Well now I know....she remembers his name..........but for some reason doesn't know who he is married to. This makes me wonder a couple of more things.......who does she think I am married to? and how does she think Joe became part of our family?
Nana always gets lobster for her birthday dinner.
Eating is one of Savannah's many talents! And now she has a new talent.....making sculptures from what is left over. Here is her corn cob pyramid she made after having 10 pieces of corn.
Jadzia enjoyed playing with the back scratcher/massager.......here is Savannah getting her treatment.......and Papa holding her in place. Jadzia let people know it was their turn by standing in front of them, holding the massager up in the air and yelling "lay down on your belly" in a voice that let you know she meant NOW!
Cassidy waiting for food...........no one is happy to have to get out of the pool. (Sara and Jadzia in the background)
