Dad's Birthday is on Easter Sunday

My father, Stanley Carl Franklin Hayes, will be 89 years old this Sunday.

Here we are together at Cedar Bluff lakehouse in Michigan last July when he visited us.

Happy Birthday, Dad. See you this weekend.

Love,

Wanda Jean

The Cousin Tumble

Funtime at Peter and Clay's brunch in February. Hannah, Max and Finny enjoy cousin smiles.

Summer is Coming!

Just could not resist this great shot of summer at Pat and Mary's Lake Auburn cottage. Ed and Patrick enjoy a late afternoon conversation out on the end of the dock.

Ah yes! Spring will soon be here and then, summer!

Will and Hannah

Here's Will with little Hannah who is the joy of life at Wendy and Will's house. Hannah is modeling the hat that I knit for her cousin, Jackson. I call it the "Action Jackson Hat." Unfortunately, Jackson hasn't seen this hat yet since some of the Tuesday Night knitters would like me to transcribe the pattern and I can't gift the hat until I'm done.

This next photo is of the Girls, ready for a winter walk. Hannah is tucked into the Baby Born and has her way-too-cool sunglasses on. Mom Wendy is holding Hannah and Grandma WJ is leaning into the photo. We walked to the park south of the lakehouse and back. Hannah's little cheeks were rosey after that outing!

Here's Hannah with Mom Wendy in front of the bonsai apple tree along the South Lawn. Notice the ice on White Rock Shoal behind them. And, notice that the sunglasses are slipping!
