More in Naples

IS that a happy grin or what?

Austin is a handstand maniac! I was surprised how long he can stay up and balanced!

Summmer turns and smiles as she traps Jessica under the basket!

Can you say, "floor puzzle?" Jessica can do it all by herself, but has to protect it from Summer's busy hands.

Miss Veronica is the book reading champion, just like her mother was at this age!

The whole bunch of us on the cruise.....I wonder when all the siblings will be together again?

Card game called Kings Crown was a lot of fun and a great game!

At my special birthday dinner at Le Bistro, the French "pay extra" resturant on the cruise....yummy food, a birthday cake and a beautiful rose from my boyfriend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDMA

Well, the Le Sueur family really knows how to make you feel special for your birthday! Not only did we have a fabulous BBQed Ethan-style meal, but Lindsay and the kids decorated and made the most yummy cake and chocolate eclairs for dessert! Here I am with the 3 oldest kids holding my birthday cake! Thanks to all of you for the GREAT, PERFECT Sized ring. GREEN is my favorite color and you will have to see the next post to see the lovely jewelry I bought with the "green stuff" from all our kids for my birthday. JAde in Guatemala and a silver chain in Mexico!
This, of course, is the premium mud style birthday cake cooked up in the fortress behind the Le Sueur's home in the jungle. It even has a straw in the middle! They have quite the cool "Friend's Club House" back there in the wilderness! Lindsay's sharp eyes caught a small turtle wandering through and we got some cool pictures of it also.

Thanks, Le Sueur KIDS!
See the cool club house?
Lindsay looks terrific. WHo woudl guess she is 3 months pregnant! She delighted me completely by letting me make the announcement of their expected baby to the kids! Alyse didn't even believe me and had to look to her mom for confirmation! What a thrill! Thanks, Lindsay and Ethan! That tickled me to pieces!
