# 41 Completed -- Babysit my grandsons for a weekend

I hope there will be many more of these opportunities to come in the future, but for now I will mark the weekend of March 13-15 as the first. Les took Kerri to New York City to celebrate her 30th birthday. Between Jennifer, her boyfriend Nick, Gary and I we watched the boys for those three days. Yes, there were four of us; but with two very active little boys, it worked out well! No major catastrophies and only a couple "I want Mommy" when things didn't please Tyler (bedtime, bathtime, dinner time, etc). I would say it was definitely a successful and exciting weekend for everyone involved! Can't wait to do it again!!!

# 98 Completed -- Organize and give Kerri Anne her baby book that I have been trying to "let go" of for over 2 1/2 years now!

Well, I finally was able to let go! For two and a half years since Kerri's son Tyler was born, I have been wanting to give her the baby book I kept for her. On her 30th birthday, March 14, 2009 I thought it was time since she has two beautiful boys of her own. I hope she treasures it as much as I did all these years!

# 100 Completed -- Take Lucas to see ducks on the creek and feed them.

Lucas, Tyler and Mommy came to Pap's game on March 11, 2009. Even though we lost the game, I am happy to say we were able to take Lucas down to the creek to feed the ducks for the first time. This is something Tyler has always enjoyed when he comes to visit Nana and Pap. Hopefully Lucas will enjoy it just as much!

# 56 Completed -- Feed the ducks the bread I save for them BEFORE it gets moldy!

Today, May 12, 2009 we took a walk looking for ducks to feed. I know, you are wondering how can any one person have enough stale bread to feed the ducks every week, right? Well, actually it isn't all stale, but I needed something so I took what was the stalest (is that even a word?). We saw a group of baby ducks (12 in all), but Mommy took them across to the other side of the creek, so we didn't get to feed them. We had some others takers though -- they can always use some bread!!!!

On May 6, 2009 I saw a Mother duck and 6 babies on my way to work. That evening, Gary and I walked down by the creek to see if we could find them and feed them some bread and crackers. We didn't find that duck, but we did find a Mother with 13 babies. I am sure spring with bring many more Mothers with the baby ducks!

Gary and I fed the ducks again on March 8, 2009 since it was such a lovely day! And no mold this time either!!!

Since the weather was snowy and cold this morning, I decided to go and feed the ducks the bread I had saved for them -- and guess what? It wasn't even moldy! There were many hungry ducks fighting for my bread. I am sure since Spring is right around the corner, I will be back to feed the ducks again very soon!
