BLAST FROM THE PAST

In April my daughters, Amy and Susan and the grandkids flew to Baltimore MD to see John and Nicole and Hadley and Jillian. We didn't take the husbands, I'll post what they did later. John and Tucker had all us girls to themselves. I really enjoyed the trip and will post a few pictures, over the next few days. Above Hadley loves to play dress up, and Tucker joined the fun.

Nicole and Jillian, Jillian is getting so big.

Payton and Jillian--- what little cuties

Hadley.... it was so much fun to see her again, and thanks to SKYPE, it was almost like they hadn't been gone for so long. None of that -- getting to know each other. More tomorrow

Good News??

My son John went to Northwest Lineman College, when he left the army.

John knew he would have to leave the area to get a job. And he did, he left for Baltimore, Maryland on Friday He drove a U-haul truck, pulling his car, he got into Maryland a couple of hours ago. Nicole and the girls join him on the 15th.

I'll be fine....right?

A PERFECT FIT

Hadley is a wonderful big sister. She has already changed a diaper. ( Her other grandma is just out of the picture, just in case)


Last weekend, kept me very busy. I was surprised, I enjoyed it so much. I thought I would be tired come Monday morning, but no. Last Friday after work, I picked up Emily, Tucker and Hadley-- so we could have a sleep over. Gary was on an over night camp trip, and since Mike was with him, Amy came later in the evening to spend the night too. She doesn't like spending the night alone Anyway, when I picked Hadley up, I held Jillian, and I thought to myself how wonderful it felt to hold such a tiny baby in my arms, she fit perfectly. Friday night while we were watching a Disney movie, Hadley jumped in my arms and hugged my neck during a scary part. I thought how great is was to have a 3 1/2 year old in my arms...she fit perfectly. Saturday morning, I left Amy and kids and headed to Susan's to Baby sit Payton, Susan and her husband were with friends floating the Payette river. I enjoyed spending time with Payton, I held her in my arms and rocked her, and it felt so great to hold a seven month baby in my arms, she fit perfectly. I'm sure Emily 10 and Tucker 5 would have fit perfectly in my arms, but they were busy playing with and entertaining their cousins.

Amy brought Emily and Tucker, over to help watch Payton. Emily is helping Payton stand, it won't be long before she is walking all over the house.

Sunday, Susan had a bridal shower for my niece, Erin. She and Andy will be married the end of August. I wish them a long and happy marriage.

This weekend, I stayed home, and did house work....a little anyway.

WELCOME--JILLIAN

When Gary and I got to the hospital the nurses had taken Jillian to the nursery to be bathed and so the Doctor could check her out. So our first glimpes of her were through the windows.

The proud parents--John and Nicole---I missed seeing Hadley's first visit with her sister. I understand she was soooo excited.
