Billy Wardle Happenings

 I neglected to post notification of Charlotte's birth.  She was born in January of 2024 to Caleb and Annie.

 Man I have cute grandkids.  I don't know where we were.  I don't have any pictures of us.

 Sheri traveled to Indiana to take these three handsome boys to the grandparent dance at their school.

 Mark dropped his boys off as he was headed to Phoenix and Liz was out of town.  We were able to take Mark and the boys to Hualapai Lodge, and then the boys to the park.  We saw the elk at the lodge.  We enjoyed the view from the top of the park.  While they were here Tony celebrated his 15th birthday with pizza and ice cream cake. 

 We visited Omaha for Camberly's baptism and while there celebrated her birthday, as well as Hayley's and Anthony's which are a couple weeks later.  Texas sheet cake After the baptism there was a reception on the back porch with ice cream and cake.

 With a different group of grandchildren visited in prompted another visit to the Alpaca farm.  Kids loved feeding the alpaca and watching their antics.  Hayley was a bit fearful at first but she warmed up to the alpaca and fed them lots of leaves outside.  We had four families, Annie and Caleb, Sheri and I with Tony, Charity with kids and Natalia and Ayden.

 One of my favorite experiences as a youth was tea at the home of Sister Fohr in Carbondale.  So when I inherited Grandma's china, I wanted to host a tea with the grandchildren.  When most of the grandkids were here over the summer, Natalia's daughter, Charity's children and Caleb's, the plan to host the tea was put into place.  Sheri made lots of sugar cookies, and the smaller ones were set aside for the tea. Instead of tea we had lemonade and milk in the tea cups.  We also had marshmallows in the sugar bowl, crackers and cheese and pepperoni and every good thing.  We also invited Sheri, my wife to join us.  It was a special time.  I got some of the kids to tell stories.  I told stories, including Aunt Ruth the slobbery kisser and about Grandma Wright whose china we were using.  

 Quincy was blessed at exactly one month old.  She was a tiny little girl.

 

 Caleb and Annie have their third child and second girl, bringing to five our granddaughters.   With cousin # 15 a couple months older
