Tyler at 7 Months

 Alisson and Terence took the older kiddos to see the Kung Fu Panda 2.  It was Evan's first time to see a movie at the movie theater.  We got to have Tyler visit us.  Tyler is now sitting up and playing with toys.

Tyler is very intent exploring this toy while sitting up.  He so wants to crawl.  Tyler gets frustrated when something he wants is out of hs reach.  He tries to roll to it but frequently rolls away from the toy or whatever he wants.  He is showing the beginning signs of crawling.  Tyler showed a little stranger anxiety.  I took him over to see my neighbor and good friend Kathy.  Tyler cried.  He never cries.  I think he thought I was going to leave him with that stranger.  Tyler was fine when we started to walk back to my house.  Very interesting.

The Family

 Caden after church with his Mommy and Daddy.  Zach had already changed his clothes and was getting ready to run.  I still think it is a beautiful photo.

Grammie, Pappy G and baby Caden after church.  I was so happy that we got to attend church with Zach, Laurie and Caden.  It was a special time for me to really praise and thank God for this little miracle.

Caden and Grammie

Caden and Grammie playing together.  Caden is doing so well holding his head up.  I am so thankful to God for his continued healing of Caden and for giving the strength he needs to develop.

 I loved rocking with Caden.  I jokingly say "His Grammie Rocks."

 Pappy G just had to take this photo.  Here Grammie is early in the morning cuddling with sleeping Caden.

I am so happy that we got to visit Caden, Zach and Laurie this weekend.  We took the family out to dinner Saturday night.  It was Caden's first time in a restaurant and he did so well.  I was the proud Grammie.  A waitress looked at him and said he was cute.  Of course Caden is a cutie.

Caden with a New Toy

Caden is holding on to a new toy from Aunt Bon Bon and Uncle Cha Cha.  Caden has a very good grasp.

Caden and Pappy G

 Pappy G and Caden playing together.  Papppy is doing his "claw" with Caden.  This is Pappy G's thing with his grandchildren.  Caden liked it.  As Caden gets older and Pappy does it with him, he will laugh and even ask for more.  It is such a cute Pappy G tradition with his grandkiddos.

 Caden liked sitting up with Pappy G.

Visit With Caden at 3 Months

 Happy Caden!  He is thinking "I love my Grammie and Pappy G."

 Mad Caden!  He was telling his Grammie to pick him up.  And I did!!

 Caden has been trying to figure out how to get his thumb into his mouth.  He was putting all of his fingers into his mouth and gagging.  Here he finally found just his thumb and likes it.  Tummy Time is fun with his thumb.

Kori's Kindergarten Graduation

Evan at the Kindergarten Graduation.  All he was interested in was playing with his 2 Matchbox cars.

Tyler and Mommy

Tyler's Mommy is feeling so much better.  The anti-nausea medication is helping a lot.  I had Evan and Tyler for a couple of hours while Alisson went to the dentist.  I gave her some time to herself after the dentist, too.  We are wondering pink or blue for baby due in December.  I enjoyed my alone time with Evan and Tyler.  They are Grammie's buddies.

Caden is Tired Out

Caden had a scheduled visit at Duke Hospital today.  He must have gotten very tired out.  He looks so precious. 

Laurie's First Mother's Day

A Real Cutie

How cute can a little baby boy be!!!!!!!   Is that finger tasty,Caden or is it part of your cool look???!!!!!

Josh Playing Soccer

 The weather is sunny today.  So I went to see Josh play soccer this morning.  He is a fast little runner.

Josh and his purple shirt soccer teammates listening to the soccer coach, Terence, Josh's Daddy.  GO PURPLE!!!  It was a lot of fun watching the 3 and 4 year olds playing soccer.  They know what they are doing.  Amazing!!!!

Friday Night With the GrandKiddos

We got to have the 4 grandchildren over for a few hours on Friday night. Pappy loves to have his arms full of his grandchildren. We had so much fun with them.  I told the kiddos that they were being so good that they could have 2 cookies for their bedtime snack and cheese puffs.  You would have thought I had given them the world.  They were so excited.

Kori likes to play in the pink bedroom and play with the Madeline doll set I gave to her to just have at our house.  Here she set up a birthday party.  This is her special quiet place.  The boys are not allowed to go in there when Kori is playing with the Madeline dolls.  Too many small pieces for Evan and Josh does not need to bother her.  Of course, she likes watching the TV in there too.  She is my little princess!!!!

Caden's New Toy

 Caden really likes the new toy from Great Aunt Kathy and is playing with it so well!!

Is Caden thinking..."What do I have here?  It looks pretty cool."

Caden at Three Months

Grand-baby Caden Zachary is now 3 months old. What a cutie!!!!!

Mother Daughter Tea 2011

 Our grand-daughter, Princess Kori, is so photogenic.  This picture was taken at our Mother Daughter Tea at my church, St. Mark's Lutheran.

We had fashions from Elegant Rags modeled by members of our congregation.  Alisson was a model.  Here is Alisson modeling a very cute dress.  She had 3 dresses to wear.  The Mother Daughter Tea was very fun and I was honored to have my sister, mother-in-law, daughter and grand-daughter with me.

Tyler and Evan's Visit

 We had a lot of fun with the boys Monday night for a couple of hours.  Tyler was very interested in the musical MP3 player that used to be Evan's at our house. 

Evan can now do the See n Say all by himself.  What a big boy!!!

Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams little one.  I just love this photo of Caden.  He looks so precious!!

Cute Caden

Caden is dressed and ready for church.  He is so cute!!!

Sleepover

Saturday, Alisson called and said Josh and Evan were begging to spend the night.  Well, I said, "How about tonight?"  So, we have Josh and Evan sleep overnight.  Pappy G bought a red race car for Josh and a blue race car for Evan.  As Pappy G said, "Grandpas can do this."  Both boys slept with their race car.  Here is Josh, Evan and Pappy.  They so love Pappy G!!!!
