  • Apparently my mom is having some serious difficulties with her computers getting online and she's sending everyone here so I can tell you that.  Consider yourself told.  She can fill you in on all the nitty-grittys.  I didn't understand much of what she said.  She was quite distraught though.


    We've been having a quiet time here at babyland.  He really is a good baby.  Eats sleeps poops.  Every so often he's up long enough to look around and check out his environment and his people.  Very adorable.


    He's a week old today!  Amazing how much our lives have changed in that short week!  Guess a baby will do that for you.


    Barney has a new routine.  He thinks 3 a.m. is a fine time to go outside.  Since Sam's leaving right then, why shouldn't the rest of us let him out?  So he knocked off all of my safety pins from the little container I keep on my dresser.  Guess I'll add that to my list of things to clean/pick up.


    Michelle and I are hoping to do some baby announcements today.  Dave and I have a faculty dinner at ND tonight so the kids are on their own with feeding themselves.  Michelle made sloppy joes last night (with my guidance).  Her verdict:  "These were easy!"  Yup.  So now she can make a whole lot more foods than she could a year ago.  This gives me great hope.

    He really does have eyes.  And he's starting to use them to look at everybody and everything.  The cats are still indifferent/scared.

    Peter is enjoying having another nephew.

    And I am just besotted. 


    Dave and Sam finished installing the flooring the the family room.  Now they just have to put in the trim.  I'm supposed to buy that this week.  It looks really good.  I'm also going to look for an area rug to put the furniture on - that will look more like a grouping since we have that in the middle of the room.  It should look nicely finished once it's done.  maybe I can even figure out where to hang pictures - this room is hard to decorate since it really has just one very long wall that you could hang pictures from.


    I'm reading a really different book for me.  I think I like it.  I wasn't sure at first but it took an interesting twist early on and now I'm hooked.

  • You have no idea how thankful I am things are going so smoothly at home.  If I find the time today I will hit Home Depot to see if they have the Mannington floors.  Think I can convince Dan if it's cheaper!  Have a great day.

  • I can see why you're besotted.  Enjoy him.  Mommy and Daddy are so lucky to have your help.

  • He is so adorable, Val.  Almost makes me want a grandchild before the 5 yr waiting period that Nate has set up *L*  Almost 

  • Holy buckets val, that little man is absolutely adorable! And you are one very proud gramma eh? ;)

  • AWWWWW! Val I don't know if I am just still really over emotional or what but this post brought happy tears to my eyes! Your whole family is beaming with love and happiness. I am very very glad and what a cutie that baby is! Thank you so much for sharing this photographs it made my day! ((((Hugs Grandma!))))

  • I can see Michelle's features in him.  He's just too cute!

  • Good pics.  Hope Michelle continues to want to learn to cook etc.  That would be such a good sign/thing.  Enjoy your evening out.

  • Peter looks like a natural holding that little baby boy.

    So glad he is a good baby so far and that everyone is enjoying him.

    Have a good week.

  • Oh, how well I remember that "besotted" feeling when our first grand was born.  There is nothing like it!  So different from the feelings when our own kids were born. 

    Love the top pic of him.

  • Awwwwww, could he be any cuter?

    Sorry I didn't get in here to comment on the 52nd Anniversary entry. They are a lovely couple. I adore your mom (and your dad, too). And I thank you for sharing the photo's with us.

  • Aww! I love that picture of Kaden. He's so adorable. Wuah! I want to hold him too!
