Thumbs decided to lay in Jonathan's stroller when we kept Clara and Jonathan overnight last summer. She has attitude and does what she wants when she wants to.Gunney looks as though he's about to attack Thumbs, but that isn't true. They are best of friends. We call the cat Thumbs because she has an extra toe on each foot and on the front they look like thumbs. Meiko, on the other hand looks like he just doesn't want to be bothered.

Clara was four on March 24th. Doesn't seem possible!! Again I got these pictures from Victoria's Blog. I was glad to see she continued the tradition of letting the balloons go. Looks like Jonathan wasn't too happy about it though.






These are pictures of Clara and Jonathan from Easter. They are ones I got from Victoria's Blog, but when you live thousands of miles away you can't take your own pictures. Looks like they had lots of fun.

Happy Birthday Clara








Happy Birthday Clara. I can't believe you are four years old already. I am so sorry we can't be with you on this birthday. I hope you have lots of fun and if you let balloons go I hope one is for me. I miss you so much. I love you and send hugs and kisses to you. Happy Birthday.

Love, Grandma Yonka

Happy Easter everyone. As you can see the Easter Bunny came to visit and I took his picture. He told me to tell Clara and Jonathan and all their friends hello and he hopes they all have a lot of fun on Easter. He also said he heard the day after Easter is Clara's birthday and that she will be four. He said to tell her Happy Birthday.
Now, these are my grandchildren, Clara Elizabeth and Jonathan Michael Stein. Aren't they beautiful?
This is my daughter and son-in-law, Christopher and Victoria Stein. Christopher is in the Navy and they live in Lemoore, California right now. It can be very confusing to have a son and a son-in-law both named Christopher

This is my son and daughter-in-law, Christopher and Nikki. Nikki is in the Air Force and they live in Alaska.
These are my children, Christoher and Victoria Mullikin. I know they will appreciate this post.


This is my first attempt at blogging. No one has encouraged me to do this, but since my children both have blogs I can't let them one-up me, so here I am. I chose this picture because even though I am a grandmother, I am the youngest and only girl in my family, and my father, who will be 94 in May 2008, carries this picture of my brother Bob, me and my brother Pat in his wallet to this day. I have no idea what I will be posting to this site, but I'll see how it goes. Stay tuned! You just never know!
This is a picture of my parents, Francis and Bernadine Small.

Well, this is easier than I thought, and now I have to hurry because I have to go to work. I work 7p-7a, but after tonight I'll be off for a while, so maybe I can put some stuff on thus weekend. Have a good day.
