At last my camera is home! I had left it in California, but now that it is at home, I can post my California doings. It was an Easter trip for us, so that's where I'll start. The grandchildren and I have a tradition of making a bunny face cake, and so once again we did. Here is Lia, iPod ear-bug in her ear, but happily showing the cake she, Locke, and I decorated:
Then, the usual egg-dyeing the night before, church on Easter, and then the Easter egg hunt.

| This shows the pattern. |
As for the rest of the visit, we tried to work in some crafts, but school, homework, after-school activities, etc. interfered. Locke and I did do some simple needle-pointing, with his making a Lakers' colors coaster for his Dad (to give him on Father's Day), and I making him and Lia each a coaster.
 |
Here's Locke stitching on his dad's coaster.
|
As for the rest of the visit, it was dominated by our attending three of Locke's Little League games.
 |
One of my favorite pictures from this trip: Locke about to catch
a ball that you see heading right toward him! |
Here are some pictures, a few from each game. The first game his team won; the second, they tied; and the fourth, another win:
 |
Here's Locke getting one of several good, solid hits.

 |
Locke has just scored a run!

Ready as an outfielder to catch a ball coming his way.
|
As for Lia, just as we were leaving for the baseball game, she and her mom were getting packed to go on a Girl Scout campout!
 |
I remember that at about the same age, her
mom used to love to wear bandanas around her head! |
Fellow blogger Linda wanted me to add a picture of one of the coaster I made, and so here goes. I made this one for Locke; Lia's will have to wait until it is finished!
 |
This is on the bookshelf which doubles as a bedside table for Locke.
You can see a little corner of his quilt, made by me, to the left! |
