So what does a Nana do when babysitting? Well when we weren’t doing the cha-cha and the tango, we turned on the webcam!
Today was a “Cammy Day” as we call them, and being summer, swimming in the pool was definitely a highlight scheduled for the day. Now Cammy being older, knows how to do a lot more in the pool than Silas and of course RubÃ. Rubà is not yet enchanted with...

In the past, I have taken a lot of teasing from my friends who spent summers going east with their families to Ocean City, and my family always went west to visit family in the mountains of West Virginia and Virginia. So when I finally got to experience Ocean City, they...
