Thirty-three Weeks and Counting



It's almost time for London's arrival. Needless to say, we are all very excited. Carla said if one more person tells her she is huge, she might just get an attitude! No, not my Carla! Daniel and Dylan are both very excited about London. Dylan keeps patting his mommy's belly and giving her kisses!



I'm Working on Things for London...It's Almost Time for Her Arrival



Carla wants me to start my own sweat shop to get all the things made for London. This one is my pet project. I also made an afgan to match it. She and Daniel promise that she will wear this home from the hospital.

Wyatt's Summer



Wyatt's baseball skills continue to improve. His mom and dad signed him up for private pitching lessons since his coach spotted his leftie pitching ability. He loves the game.

Dylan's Summer



Dylan and his mom and dad had lots of fun this summer. He had a really special 4th of July and also worked on learning how to ride his bike. You can see Carla loves to make the holidays special for him.

Trey's Summer Fun



Trey made his first trip off a diving board this summer. As you can see he is fearless!

This Summer Has Gone By WAY Too Fast



One of our first two family get togethers for the summer were Wyatt and Trey's birthday parties. Donna and Jona chose to let them have their parties separate this year. Both parties were a great success for the boys. And do you love those fauxhawks the boys are sporting?

Dinner With Carla, Daniel, Dylan and Lee



Daniel's brother Lee came home from Japan (he's on a military assignment there for two years) and wanted to eat cooked seafood. He says the only seafood you can get in Japan is raw! You can see Carla's baby bump is now a "bit" larger. And, ofcourse, Dylan and I had to clown around a bit. I'm glad they gave us a bib!

Just Another Night at Grammy's




I had the boys stay with me several times this summer. I love that they are close and enjoy playing with each other. As you can see, they enjoy dress up boy style!










Dylan's the One in the Sun Glasses


My little ham couldn't resist posing between the scarecrows. He can have fun no matter where he goes!

Where Has the Summer Gone?!?!

I was blessed with lots of "Grammy" time with my boys this summer while we wait for London to get here. On one of my window shopping expeditions with Carla, Dylan just had to climb on this elephant to pose!

A Family Picture At Last!

A Family Picture At Last!
For about five years now I have been trying to get my kids and grandkids together for a family picture. Well, Carla, Donna and I finally suceeded in dragging Jona all the way kicking and protesting and threatening to leave if the photographer didn't get to us in the next few minutes. I think my son may be a bit camera shy. He is a great photographer, but doesn't like to be in front of the camera. When we finally got into the studio, a really sweet (and flirtaceous) lady got him to cooperate. As you can see from the photos, he (and the rest of my loves) looks great!
