Family Gathering

We had a small gathering since Sarah and John were home for the holidays. Joshua, Theresa's son is here for a few weeks. He is being sent to Irag so it's nice that he can spend time with his family and friends.

Sarah and John's son Grayson is such a sweet little boy. Most of the family hadn't met this little guy yet. Grayson is 3 months old. Sarah is Mary's daughter and Stacy's sister. He's so cute and still has most of his hair. Here are a few pics we took. As a whole our family has so much to be thankful for. Aunt Jeanne is doing well. We have lots of new babies that were born in the family this year. They are all so precious and sweet...Being an Auntie and Grammy is just great.... Auntie Sue has also started her own blog..She has finally join in with the rest of us...

Thanksgiving

I know it's been awhile since I wrote. It's really great being around Ben. He's such a special little boy. He lost that little baby look and looks like a little boy. He's Grammy little boy. Monday's is usually my day with Ben. I tried to write on my blog when I take care of him but he doesn't usually let me. He sits on my lap while I try to update and plays with my keys. He loves all this electronic stuff. You know keyboards, remotes, phones...on my...He's pounds on my keyboards and changes the page on Grammy..It's more difficult to update my blog as the internet carrier we have is so bad...... it's slower than molasses.... We use to have high speed internet..Sue and I miss that part...plus our computer isn't working...We're using Joleene's..

Thanksgiving was nice and quiet. I'm so thankful for my family and our little man. I can't get over how much one little person can mean to you. I love my kids but being a Grammy is just wonderful. He is growing up so fast. He's wants to be on the floor and on the go...He's starting to crawl and loves to be in his jump a roo. He looked so cute in his white button shirt and corduroys. Here's are a some pics that we took.

A New Little Friend

On Thursday Ben & I went and hung out with some of my teacher friends. I do miss working with the kids. It is so rewarding and can be frustrating at the same time but the time I spend with Ben is so worth it. I love being with my grand-baby. Sue and I do enjoy our little man. She just loves being an Auntie. It's hard to believe he's already seven months. Grammy and Mommy have been taking Ben to the doctors for the last few weeks. He finally doesn't have to go back until he gets the other part of his flu shot. His lungs sound really good.

Ben sat on the floor and played with Gabriella. She was born 1 week before Ben. She wanted Ben's toys and Ben wanted her toys. Ben kept going after her shinny black shoes. After work I went to the daycare to get Ben and met my friends. I grabbed the diaper bag from daycare not realizing that there weren't any daipers in it. So Ben had to borrow a diaper from his new little friend, Ella.

He's getting ready for crawling. Oh no!! Watch out!! Mommy, Auntie Sue and Grammy will be looking and pricing baby gates.

Being a Grammy is just one of the greatest things ever. We sing so much to our little guy. I lost count on how manyy times we sing to him to get him to stop crying. He's getting better at being in the car. Riding is not one of his favorite things to do.

Here are a few pics of Ben & Gabriella.

Fun in the leaves

I took Ben to the doctors for a follow-up appointment with his doctor as his Mommy had to go to work. She took a good part of last week off since Ben was so sick. He is doing so much better. He only needs to do his breathing treatment twice a day. He has to go back next week to the doctors. He'll get his flu shot next week too as he's been too sick to get it before. Even though he's been sick he's always has a smile. He's such a good baby.

I've been wanting to take Ben's picture in the leaves so I took him out after we got back from the doctors. He was so funny. I kept trying to take his pic and he kept trying to eat the leaves. Grammy kept telling him "No Ben, no Ben." He is so precious to us. Being a Grammy is just one of the greatest things ever. I do so enjoyed it so much. Here are the pics I took of Ben in the leaves. They are some of my favorite. It hard to believe that our little man is almost seven months old. Time really does fly.
