It is all about ELI!!!

Who is my favorite grandson in the whole wide world?  Elijah James Worley, of course!  Mike and I have recently begun having BOTH Ava AND Eli over lately.  It makes for a busy evening!  We are not used to having two to watch!  This past Friday, we decided to have pizza.  Ava and Pop went to get the pizza, which left me alone with Eli for a little while.  Below is the video I took of Eli reading the newspaper.  He seems to really like newspaper!

He is really fond of Pop.  He was hungry, but would not take his bottle of breast milk from me!  But he was quite happy to let Pop give it to him.  Same story, second verse with the applesauce.  But he quite happily sat at my feet and played with Pop's pen for 15 minutes while we ate pizza.

The next video is at breakfast the next morning with the family at the Raven.  He was quite happy the whole meal.  He has started playing "Where's Eli", and he was just so cute!  I handed Jenni the camera so we could record the fun.  (I realize we may have enjoyed this more than you will!)
Sometimes I get an extra Thursday off from work.  This gives me an extra chance to play with Ava and Eli.  Always fun.  Eli sits pretty well, but we always prop him up with a boppy.  If he happens to wiggle backwards, he is not really good at doing sit ups to get back up yet.
And lastly, a picture of Ava sitting on Grammy's bed watching an episode of "Olivia".  We love Olivia! And Ava is my personal Mac Genius.  She uses my iPod Touch to play all her games. It amazes me that she knows exactly where each game is located.


Looking forward to more time with the grandkids!  

"Come, Children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of the Lord."
Psalm 34:11

"Now Somewhere in the Black Mining Hills of Dakota....

...lived a young man named Rocky Raccoon."  I always thought that song said "South" Dakota.  Are there Black Hills in both Dakotas?  I'm sure I don't know and am not really going to take the time to find out, no matter how easy it is with Google, Bing, etc. After Cabin Time, This set of Worleys, young and old, headed for those Black Hills.  We were going to see Mount Rushmore.  In South Dakota.  And to see anything else that struck our fancy.  So we struck out in our trusty Jeep and Mini-van, loaded with kids and snacks.  On July 30.  We saw lots of motorcycles as we went.  Lots. Of. Motorcycles!  Come to find out, it was the start of the annual Sturgis Rally.  In Sturgis, SD.  If you do not know what that is, feel free to Google it! Our must stop place was Wall Drug Store.  In Wall, South Dakota.  We stopped, we ate, we shopped around.  It is a lovely place to spend a lot of time walking around. ...

THE WEDDING!

Image
The Wedding -- the only one we will ever host! Why didn't we have more girls? This was fun! Above, of course, Dad dancing with Bride Jenni. They had fun, didn't they? But of course, this was the reception, we are supposed to have fun! The week before the wedding was a whirlwind of last minute activities. We had guests from Chile at our house -- Kani - Rod's friend from childhood, and Cristian -- Rod's brother. We also had Lindsey -- Jenni's bridesmaid and friend of Rod from Chile. We worked on wedding stuff and ate way too much! Decorating the church was actually easy -- we had lots of help. We decorated on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, we finished up by adding trees to the auditorium. And, dumb old me, I have absolutely no pictures of it! I can only hope our photographer took some! Table Decorations at Rehearsal dinner -- Cute! Friday night -- rehearsal dinner. Wow! The Rehearsal went great. Decorations -- provided by my sister and our friend Sue T...

On Being Alone

Sadie, in her "The Water Bowl is Empty" pose. I have spent the whole day alone! Well, Sadie and Belle are here, too. My goal was to sleep late, catch up on laundry, and read through March 4th in the Chronological Bible. I am happy to report, I have met all those goals! I felt a little bit like Mary or Martha today, depending on my activity. I would work some, read the Bible some, eat and drink something along the way. There was some praying occasionally, too. I have been in the book of Numbers today. One of my favorite hymns comes from this chapter six of this book (I am still trying to learn the alto part!): 22 Then the L ord said to Moses, 23 "Instruct Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: 24 'May the L ord bless you and protect you. 25 May the L ord smile on you and be gracious to you. 26 May the L ord show you his favor and give you his peace.' Of course, one of our greatest blessings is Ava. She is getti...
