Our daughter Amy and her husband Erik are going to Spain to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary. I am so happy for them. Amy has never been to Europe. I don't think Erik has either. They arrive in less than 24 hours with their four children. Hope is 10 and has been coming to our lake cabin since she was not quite 2 years old. Malia is 7 and she has spent every one of her summers at the lake. Reese is 5 and he can't wait to go fishing. Johanna is 14 months and she has NEVER been away from her Mommy and Daddy and she is spending 10 days with us. I love babies....and babies love me. But of all of our grandchildren...we have been with Johanna the least. She is very attached to her Mommy. She is a preacher's daughter and hates the nursery. So I'm pretty sure we will all have some adjusting to do. Grandpa had tee-shirts printed for all the grandchildren that say "Grandpa's Summer Camp" on them. He will indeed be running summer camp. He promised to give the Hanson kids swimming lessons (he is a certified swimming instructor). Today he cleaned the entire beach for the kids..and the weather is finally nice. My instructions from Amy are to keep my eye on Johanna every minute. She is quick and she is naughty according to her mother. Will Johanna conquer Grandma or will Grandma conquer, Johanna. She is so cute and adorable don't you think? Her Mommy says, "She is my strongest willed child." Pray for me!
