2010 in Review: Na-Na's Birthday!

Did Jack or Na-Na come up with my mother-in-law's grandma name? Early on he called her Na-Na one time and she took it!
We are grateful that Na-Na always makes time for us in her busy life as Dr. La Monica. When I was a brand new stay-at-home mom she got me involved in bible study. It was the same bible study she attended with her 3 children under the age of 4. With the same "nursing mother small group" bible study leader and who in this small world I knew because I babysat her grandkids who lived down the street from my mom's house.
When Jack and I graduated from the "nursing moms small group" it was time for him to go to the one year old daycare room while I joined my new "young mom small group" without him attached to my side.
During this time Teri had rejoined bible study because of me and was in the "moms with young adult children small group". However, I clearly remember sitting next to her in the big group lecture when the children's program leader asked for new volunteers for the children's program. Teri took it hook, line and sinker, next thing we knew she was signed up to be Jack's "Green Little Lambs" teacher. She spends every Tuesday morning with Jack and his little friends. They read books, sing songs, learn little bible stories, eat snacks in miniature chairs at a miniature table like big little kids...
Could Jack be any luckier to have his grandma as his teacher? We sure are blessed!
We starting celebrating her birthday on a Friday at Rocco's...

Saturday we went to see...
Then Sunday we had a family get together at Granny and Bopa's...
Did I mention that she is a Dr./Professor/bible study teacher/Pediatric Nurse Practitioner?
Her granddaughter Carolynne had a cough so she is checking it out...

Thanks for taking care of all us!
