After spending a fun week in Cheektowaga, playing, resting and visiting, we are left with wonderful memories of our Wagner family. Although we wish we could still be there, we hold our memories in our hearts as precious. It was SO WONDERFUL to hug these folks and see Grandpa home from the hospital, in remission!!!! Here are three generations of Wagner men. Andy, Grandpa (dad, Ray), Charlie and Tom.
Nicole won many points with Charlie for coloring with him. Aunt Debbie did as well, however I didn't catch them with the camera. Much laughter was had during coloring time. Now, when Charlie looks at this picture he says: "her bike." After coloring we all went outside to say goodbye to Nicole as she rode off on her new bike. Charlie certainly liked that bike!
We often had a two-man band at the Wagner house. Charlie and Grandpa would switch off instruments. Either the "trumpet" or the piano.
Several of Grandpa's siblings came to visit. This is Mary and Millie. Charlie slept through most of the visit, but woke up in time to say hello.
Aunt Debbie had to teach during the week. However, she took us to the Farmer's Market on the weekend. Charlie ate the entire apple while we were there and held tightly to the dog balloon aunt Debbie got for him.
Grandpa is working on getting his strength back. One of the assignments he has been given by Physical Therapy is to walk 30 minutes a day. He had a route that he would walk around the house. Most times that Grandpa walked, Charlie walked with him, either leading or following. If you look closely, you will see Charlie is leading this time.
Charlie seems to have a little crush on both his Grandpa and his Uncle Andy. It was really fun as a parent to watch him in connection to these two men.
Now, the only person who is missing from these pictures in Rachael. Rachael is a typical teenager, out and about with friends or working. Somehow, when she was around I missed grabbing my camera and getting a picture. Bummer!
