Amazing children!


Jadyn - a day at the bookstore with Gr Gma and Nana Terri. Gpa and her making faces for the camera








Playing hide-seek under the rhodendendron bushes - "I see you'






Great grandkids everywhere!

What a wonderful thing it is to be able to watch them grow, learn new things every day. Annabelle & Levi now eating 'food':) Bella just got her first tooth Sunday. Uncle Casey helping feed Levi. We enjoyed a nice sermon by Ryan T where he was guest preacher last Sunday. Twins were welcomed by all and smiled at everyone.













A day with Jadyn (now 2) helping Gr Gma weed in the yard - well she sort of helped (doesn't like to get her hands dirty). I think she was in charge. Gpa and Nana spent am putting a new crib up for her (so soon-to-deliver-sister-Demi will have a place to sleep too). Jadyn/Gma had great fun going for a walk, blowing bubbles, pulling weeds and watching crickets and ants. J now talking in sentences and can pretty much carry on a good conversation - actaully she talks mostly non-stop now.

HAPPY HAPPY Gr Gma
