Isn't It Grand!

It's already been a week since the Dale Davaz family was all together in Moscow, Idaho. We took the long Memorial Day weekend to celebrate Melody's 4th birthday -- and the fact that all the adults are vaccinated. We hadn't been together for a year and a half!

One of the fondest memories was when Mimi, Papa, Aunt Jeannie, and Aunt Jodie took the littles to the park. We climbed on things, slid down things, rolled down the hill, and did lots and lots of swinging.

Melody is learning to pump her legs. With the help of Aunt Jeanne, she swung so high that her little bottom popped out of the swing seat at the apex. It feels like flying!


Annie is the swing duration champion. She sat in the swing, mask on, holding on tight, allowing Aunt Jodie to push her until she fell into a trance. She nearly fell asleep. Annie allowed me to hold her and carry her on our walk home because she was so tired. 


(It's the only time she allowed me to hold her for more than 15 seconds the entire weekend!)

I'm so gratified that we'll get to see them more often over the next months.
