Three of My Grandkids

Annika and Josiah

United States of America

Today Rachel posted new pictures of Annika and Will, and also a photo of the US map that Josiah created this past weekend. Some of my readers aren't able to read her blog, so I took the liberty of copying a few of these photos to share with you. Double click on any photo to enlarge it.

Josiah is 5 years old (he'll be 6 next month) and is in kindergarten this year. His knowledge and interests amaze me. I love this map, Josiah. Great job!

Annika is 4, and attends preschool. She is looking so grown up. Will is 6 1/2 months old, and in a couple of weeks, I'll finally get to meet him. I study his pictures and see some of Josiah in him and some of Annika. I sure hope he warms up to me.

It's been a year since I have seen Rachel, Josiah and Annika, and 21 months since I've seen my son, Hans. That's way too long.
