Missing the chaos



For the longest time I was so good about snapping a photo of the crew when we managed to get them all together. However, this last year I haven't been as good about it. I think they're out of practice. . .notice Haden is under the couch, lol.





Falling. . .



This was the last time we'll have them all together for. . .well, I'm not sure how long. . .my daughter and her family moved back to Missouri last weekend. I miss them all terribly already. :(  Our gatherings of 10 have been cut nearly in half.  And the baby of the group is now 19, instead of 3. :'(

Playing with the grandkids

IMG_7037


Typically when I play with the grandkids I leave the camera alone, but yesterday morning as we played with the bubbles from the dishwater, I couldn't resist grabbing the camera for a bubble on the end of Tristan's finger shot. Not quite what I was looking for but I gave up, lol.

Turns out Tristan has found his love for pictures once again. Here, he is flinging bubbles up into the air and letting them rain down on his sister.

Adrianna loved it! Much laughter and bubble popping ensued.

They are both babbling up a storm now. Tristan talks in long sentences and his take on life often makes me smile. Adrianna holds her own, when I take her binky out of her mouth and hide it I can understand most of what she says. She calls me gamma (grandma) but Tristan constantly corrects her that I'm MeMaw - it'll be interesting to see where this ends up.

When Addy sees a camera she puts up one hand and says "cheese" lol. Immediately, after I snap she wants to see herself on the back of the camera. Then she's ready for more pictures.

I tried to get a macro of her eye, but she kept popping around my lens and saying "Boo!" so that didn't work out, lol.

This is Addy's I-can't-believe-you-just-did-that-to-me look. I was trying to get her to back away from the camera so I could get more than half her head in the shot.

Holy crap! They both got still for a moment! You could hold your breath for the length of the quiet and still have enough air to blow up a balloon. Energy!

IMG_7129


This is Tristan's get-off-the-stepladder-memaw look. He even pointed down for me too, lol.

IMG_7137


He has such a good heart! He is a kissing the bandaid Addy and I placed on the baby doll's head last week, on her owie. The baby is wearing the duckie jammies Tristan wore as a baby. Memories. He will be four years old in February, I can't believe how fast time flies!

The only successful eye macro of the day, the baby doll.

Love is. . .

I love that Tristan loves his baby sister so much! I love that she puts up with it.  She's over a year old and he still loves to kiss her all the time.

I love that Twister loves flowers!


S5310--0024


I love that Addy gets more independent every day!


S5310--0025


I love that when you ask Twister to hug his sister this is what happens.  I also love that you can see a hint of a smile on her face even though her brother is trying to pull her head off, lol.

I love that kisses fix so many things!

Baby Love

Watching Adrianna grow is just as fun as watching Tristan grow. He absolutely loves his baby sister and loves to be near her. You can see him playing with a car right above her head.

When I put her in the baby swing, Tristan ran to the bookshelf and grabbed a book to read to her. Then he placed it on her belly and she is gazing at her big brother, listening to his babbles.

I think he taught her a new sign, now maybe I should read the book to figure out which one.

He always has kisses for her. I hope they can last through the years that he isn’t as fond of her.

Oops, sidenote:  My blood still showed elevated liver enzymes so I will be having a CT Scan on Monday.  I will not see the oncologist until Thursday to get the results but he's betting we'll find everything ok.  *fingers crossed*
