Row row row your boat

Last week we took Anaiya on a rowing excursion. It's a beautiful moat around the old city wall of Augsburg. I felt we were rowing through a Monet painting.
Here she is with her grandpa (Opa).

She is the most beautiful child...I can't imagine anyone not loving her madly. Just look at that curly hair.

Edelweiss, what a beautiful photo! I bet you had the best time there...great memories for all of you!

EW, that picture puts a smile on my face. How lovely! And I love sharing her life. Thank you for being so generous!

Edelweiss the picture is simply beautiful. She's absolutely gorgeous. She looks perfectly content with her Opa.

Sweetie, thanks so much for sharing her with us. These are great memories for you to store up. Enjoy them.

EW,
Your granddaughter is soooooo beautiful!!!! And that picture does look like a Monet!!! There's something about that bond between grandparents and grandchildren that is just magical!!! I don't live a day without thinking of the fond memories I have of my adoptive, maternal grandmother and grandfather. And those thoughts, warm my heart. God love you and your husband for giving little Ana memories that will carry her the rest of her life!!!!
Prayers and blessings,

Just beautiful, EW. She is so precious.

I love her..she has grown up quickly.

I think it's so exciting that you can all experience Anaiya's growing and developing with me. We have her over a year now, and it's incredible what changes happen within this period of time. I can't remember realizing it so intensely with my own children.

She talks and sings and makes little jokes. She has a great sense of humour, and embraces the world with her happy smile. While we were rowing, she called hello and waved to everyone passing by. She's always making people smile; … including my Boomer sisters. That makes me especially happy!

You're right... it does look like a painting... your granddaughter is absolutely precious... an adorable doll. What a beautiful smile. How old is she?

She turned two in February. She speaks English and German...and sometimes it all sounds like Chinese.

We need to teach her Southernese...What YA'LL think?

Great! Southernese would be cool! Little bilingual people are sooooooo cute! A tiny gal in our family spoke Italian
and English from the time she could talk. It tickles your heart to hear 'em. Love to every boomer...

She´s really very precious!

Such a beautiful family. She is one, very lucky girl.

EW, she is precious. And your hubby looks so content to have her in his lap. You all are great grandparents. She is blessed to have you.

Hannelore...a definite aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww moment. She is breathtakingly beautiful. And your husband is a cutie.
I remember Augsburg well...I miss Germany so much...

Edelweiss, I was just looking at the picture again and I could almost feel the serenity of the surroundings. Germany seems to have so many beautiful places.

Aw, thank you Chatty. Honestly I have to hold back posting pictures of Anaiya. I don't want to monopolize this thread. She loves to be photographed, and yes; the little ham poses.

Chatty, keep those Afghans rolling. Maybe someday you can come over here to visit and get the "royal" tour.

EW, she is such a beautiful baby! I miss the countryside in
Germany. We used to go to the Wasserkuppe alot, for one.

HOw precious is that! I have a picture of my husband and I with three of my four grandchildren in life jackets. I wanted to include it with the following: "Need some rowers?" Couldn't do it because I didn't know how to add a picture. Maybe next time!

This morning like every morning, Anaiya came shuffling into our bedroom to wake us up. I say shuffling, because she still had her sleeping bag on; but she masters the penguin walk perfectly. She then came to my side of the bed, and just stared at me, with a big smile on her face till I opened my eyes.

This morning, when I wanted to get up, she said “no no Oma, I sing to you.” So I lay down again, and she sang the entire lullaby repertoire that she knows. Well, being a good grandma, I fell right back asleep, and while I was sleeping,…she stuck all kinds of stick on pictures over my right leg.

I just love those moments.

Hope you can get the knack of posting pictures savvygrandmother! Try this link. They will explain how.

Diamond, Maybe you can come on over again. Mi Casa, su Casa.

Edelweiss, I put the info about photo bucket in my Favorires, I will study and master it if it kills me...

Chatty, if you need any help or have any questions I can lead you through it.
