Now THAT's Sick!

Mamma is sick. Tessa looks at Mamma's eyes and asks, "Do you have blood in your eyes or is that your brain coming out?"

Grandpa's Funeral

Mamma tried to prepare Tessa for the gun shots used in the military honors during grandpa's internment so that she wouldn't be to startled by them. As the ceremony got under way Tessa asks loudly, "When are they going to shoot grandpa?"

Grandpa's Wake

The elder Yorks passing on the family tradition of gaming (not CanyLand, either) to Tessa at the hotel bar after the wake.

Mamma almost missed the wake because she was at the ER with baby Vanessa. http://vanessa-isms.blogspot.com

It's spring. Time to resume our favorite family activity...geocaching. This geocache, however, was impossible to get to due to the height of the Wisconsin River. "Where's the beach?"
