You know the commercial...

....where it's the dad and the little boy having a sword fight trying to rescue the princess.  The fair maiden is actually the little sister sleeping in her mother's arms.   It's definitely one of those "Awww" moments when at the end the announcer talks about making time for family. 








 ...and I've been thinking about how time is always relative to where we are and what we are doing in life.  Time to Emry is too long if she has to wait until after dinner for dessert.  Cameron just doesn't understand that his daddy will be home soon, but not yet.   Time for Lauren is, once again, governed by semesters.  Time for Aubrey is school start and school end.  For Shay it's fun to think about the time after residency.








...but time to my mom is completely different.  She's not talking about tomorrow much any more. Although she did ask if she would live long enough to make a new quilt and she said she wants to live long enough to see the kitchen completed. 








Yes, I said, she better so we can roll out pies together on the granite counter top.








...so when D. came by Sunday afternoon, she took the time to do grandma's nails.













Today Danielle took time into her own hands...






...and made good use of it.




Oh, yeah, and you can see the whole swashbuckling action for yourself HERE.

We sure did have a lot of fun talking, laughing, painting our nails, eating pizza, telling stories. Love you more Grandma Great.
