Archie turned seventeen.
The older I get, the older my grandkids get!
Fancy that!
Every year, they get better and better!
They get taller and funnier and more interesting.
Arch is getting his driver's license next week.
He has worked so hard on this project and has improved so much.
We are all cheering him on!
Driving brings a measure of independence,
but with it so much responsibility.
He is applying for various jobs but hasn't landed one yet.
He made a great birthday wish list of things he would like for his birthday dinner.
On it were the following...
Cheeseburgers with bacon,
pigs in blankets,
Grammy's delicious baked beans covered with bacon,
Grammy's much loved red rice,
Potato chips with Grammy's homemade dip.
There were a few more things on the list,
but I told him I would fix them for our Easter feast.
He loved his meal and was very pleased,
For dessert he asked for, wait for it...
Root Beer Floats.
Erika made them in my new heart glasses.
I always love these pictures of the kids together.
In this one, we have to the left those who are fully engaged and smiling.
On the right stand those that are zoned out.
Harry had just finished his track meet, so he had an excuse.
You never know what you will get.

Happy Birthday, Arch!
17 looks good on you!
