Helping with the Move

Baton Rouge is now home to Amy, Darryl, and Amelia.  We were fortunate to have been able to assist by keeping Amelia for a week two times in the past six weeks.  In the past we helped by lifting furniture, hauling the piano, putting down shelf paper, building a fence, etc.  I much prefer the role we played this time in the move.


We met Amy in Mobile as they were in route with their belongings.  We did many of the same things we did last time Amelia was with us.  We had pancakes every morning, played at the playground, and fed Bucky and  Doe-Doe, the goats.


We spent Tuesday and Wednesday at St. George Island in our travel trailer.  Amelia seems to enjoy that as much as we do.  This time I carried some toys for her to play with inside and she entertained herself very well when we were not at the beach.  The wind was blowing and the surf was rough, but she was content to play in the ankle deep water.  We also rented two movies that we watched every evening before bedtime.


Rather that bore you with every detail of the week, I'm posting some pictures to tell the story.

Amelia discovered that she likes her pancakes with cheese.

She loves the playground.  She calls the tire swing "the swing with the hole".

Amelia and Paw-Paw pose for a picture.

Amelia takes a break and enjoys a Yoo-Hoo.

We both enjoyed the opportunity to spend a special week with Amelia.

We treasure these times we share with Amelia.  We're always looking forward to the next visit.  She is a precious child and brings much joy to us all.
