One month ago

One month ago today we watched this precious sweetie enter the world.  If only she didn't live over 700 miles away. :(  Happy Birthday Molly!

A new granddaughter enters my life

May 24, 2013 was not only the day I celebrated my 10 year wedding anniversary, it was also the day a new, precious, little granddaughter entered my life. At 8 lbs 3 oz she's not so little but she is very loved!

She's here!

7lbs 8oz and 18.5 inches long.

I got a call at 5:00 am this morning saying it was time to go to the hospital. Our baby granddaughter was born this afternoon. Mom and baby are doing well and Tristan laughed at his baby sister. Much more later but am on the way back up to hospital after bathing Twister.

These will be the last photos of Cole you’ll see for a while since I’m not sure when we’ll get to run down to Joplin again. These were taken a couple of weeks ago when he was one week old. But these were some of my favorites. I’m so proud of Marissa, looks like she’s going to be a good mom.  (BTW, Marissa's 18th birthday was yesterday - Happy Birthday Rissa!)

If you missed out on any of the photos of our newest grandson just poke right here and enjoy the set.

Cole Overload

Aren’t baby piggies the best? These are one week old piggies, still slightly wrinkly and perfect!

Bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Or maybe not.

It’s daddy’s job to burp baby Cole.

Then mama admires him some more.

Uh-oh, it’s time for a diaper change and the weeing on dad moments.

Clean diaper and Cole is happy once more. He’s still so young that he hasn’t lost his umbilical cord. It amazed me that he liked to be so stretched out, often newborns like to stay in balls.

This is one of my favorites, Dennis handed the 5D to his daughter and she snapped a few photos of her baby. What I like about this photo is that Cole’s eyes are open and he seems to be looking at his mom and asking her why she looks so funny.

It was fun watching dad with the baby too. He smiled so much when he looked at his son.

Do you like his little tuxedo? He’s ready for the ball.

Tiny fingers are just as precious as itty bitty piggies!
