Wonderful Grandkids!!

at 03/03/10 4:18PM

I had a great time in Louisville with my precious grandkids!!

Jackson is so handsome and it's fun to watch him take in his new world! I'm sorry he caught a cold already and we pray he will make it through this episode with no secondary effects. So far he has no fever, but his stuffy head and cough make him sound so pitiful. The drainage is making him spit up and one morning he did a job on my bedspread. I mop it up with a burp rag and Murphy finished up the cleanup! :) Later, I realized my back was cool and saw that it was covered too! He is so strong in his legs and when you change him it's a challenge to work with his legs drawn up like he will jump three feet high or stiff as a board where he rocks all over the changing table. Won't be long and those legs will be crawling him all over the house!!

Kaelyn is learning so many new things and she's learning many new words. When she busted her lip after falling, we gave her a popsicle. Her version of the word was something like "popsilolallollallollal". She can now say, "Mammaw" and "Pappaw" and "Ryan"!! Dora yogurt is a favorite of hers and when she found it in the grocery sack she was sooo excited!! Three times she expressed her excitement like it was the first time she saw it!! At church services on Sunday, her grandpa John was making announcements and she couldn't see him because her vision was blocked. Many in the auditorium heard her say, "Poppi!!" when she recognized his voice. Her grandma Frani is teaching her colors with M&M's so that a real treat, too! You know how Grandma's are so proud of their grandkids, so I could go on and on and on and on, but I'll stop for now!! :)

I LOVE hearing you talk about them and am glad you got to go and see them and feel them and...smell them! lol! I hope Jackson gets through this first bout with a cold real soon.

Being a Great Grandmaw, my ears are listening for MORE!!!
So glad you had a good time, and can tell us more about
our Grandkids!!

by frances at 03/03/10 5:09PM
So glad you had such a good visit with your kiddos. So are we!

by anne at 03/03/10 9:46PM
I was so disappointed when I realized I was going to miss you. I thought you would be here this week. I haven't seen Jackson yet. He was at home and Frani stayed with him so S. could come to church. Grandkids are a special part of our lives and we have earned being able to spoil them and send them home. :-) I didn't do that because I knew I would pay for it. Glad your trip was so much fun.

by squeaky at 03/04/10 8:42AM
Glad you had a nice visit! Love your descriptve stories, too!

by derbydi at 03/04/10 12:45PM
We grandmas never tire of hearing your stories!

by iloveponds at 03/05/10 11:25AM
jackson seems to be getting better.

by monk at 03/05/10 2:53PM
Glad you had a great trip.

by nugglefriendcuz at 03/07/10 4:19AM
I enjoyed reading your story. It sounds like you had a great time!

by kennen at 03/09/10 9:20PM
I'm sorry that you got sick! Hope you feel completely better soon!

by sarai_31 at 03/10/10 6:54AM
Oh, I totally understand! I didn't want to be rude and not say goodbye, and when I saw you intent in discussion, I didn't want to interrupt. It's always so good to be with you and Mark. His lesson was excellent and to the point.

by aleta at 03/12/10 3:40PM
jackson is getting bigger.
he looks around more, too.

by monk at 03/12/10 3:53PM
Would you have time for a Skype date this afternoon (Saturday)?

by anne at 03/13/10 9:55AM
Aww... how sweet! We don't mind if you go on and on. It is good to hear the updates!

by tweedledee at 03/13/10 8:51PM
I'm sorry I missed your Skype call. When I didn't see a response to the ^ request, I assumed you hadn't seen it and went on to the grocery store. Care to try again on Monday?

by anne at 03/14/10 3:46PM

Enjoying the Sunshine and Sharing Good Times with Friends

at 02/06/10 4:34PM

It's a gorgeous day in Alvin!! The sun started coming out yesterday and today we have wonderful blue skies and mild temps! What a lift it gives the spirits!!

This morning I attended a baby shower brunch for Missy Locklear. Good times were had by all! Baby things are sooo cute!! Also, the goodies were yummy. Christian friends are such a blessing!!

This evening we're going to supper with dear friends who recently moved into a new home. They're looking forward to opening their home up to friends and we will be blessed by their hospitality!!

Hope you have enjoyed your Saturday, too!!

This is indeed a Good and Beautiful Day!

by frances at 02/06/10 4:55PM
I look forward to seeing C & T's house some day! Have a nice evening.

by anne at 02/06/10 5:11PM
Sounds like a good day!

Yes, ma'am, it's the one with pudding. My friend came by with another starter, so hopefully I'll get to bake when we get back from Seminole! Jady said he'd keep mushing the bag for me. :-)

by missy at 02/06/10 5:35PM
i worked on tax returns, baked a peanut butter crunch cake, walked tax thru the snow (took some photos!), took a nap, and i'm getting ready to make lasagna for tomorrow's lunch.
glad you had such a good day!

by monk at 02/06/10 5:54PM
You said "baby"...give me you pin!!! :o)

by johnandleah at 02/06/10 8:50PM
hahaha Leah! I agree, it was a beautiful day. Thank you again for the wonderful shower!

by missylock at 02/06/10 10:17PM
Congrats!!!

by zanne at 02/09/10 8:37AM
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You make Great Grandparents, and Ryan makes a Super Uncle!!!

by frances at 02/09/10 8:47AM

Names for the Grandparents!!

at 01/10/10 5:05PM

Kaelyn is learning so many words right now and our names for the time being are "Papi" and "Mami"!! I love it! They will probably eventually become "Mamaw" and "Papaw", but for now we have a wonderful Kaelyn version. We were in KY for a week, so we really enjoyed our times with Kaelyn, and her mom and dad. Being a grandparent is a wonderful experience and we're so glad to see her learning and growing!! It is so encouraging to see your children raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord!!

Mami, you make a super Mamaw!!

by frances at 01/10/10 5:12PM
Enjoy!! :-)

by zanne at 01/10/10 7:49PM
kaelyn was showing us how papi taught her to flip the baby out of the dollhouse.
she laughed everytime the baby came out on the floor!

by monk at 01/10/10 8:14PM
I love it! Glad you got to go!

by aleta at 01/10/10 8:37PM
Just because you won't see "Papi" or "Mami" on coffee mugs or picture frames, you should hang on to them. They're her adorableness. Glad you had such a great time, and back home safely. Talk soon?

by anne at 01/10/10 9:32PM
^ laymon byers told us that whatever the first grandchild names you...sticks, and that's what all the other grandkids will call you.

by monk at 01/10/10 9:38PM
So glad that you all could spend that time.... I can only imagine how much fun it was!! Glad that you are home safely! Was so so so good to be with you all!!

by snickers63 at 01/10/10 10:17PM
Don't count on the names changing. Iwanted to be called Mamaw and Ashlye decided it would be memaw and it stuck with all of them. Now Stan got Popaw. I really don't care as long as they love me. Glad you had a good time but sorry we missed you.

by squeaky at 01/11/10 2:37PM
I had a Papi and a Mami in my life, and they were very special!

by derbydi at 01/11/10 8:16PM
So nice! =)

by tweedledee at 01/11/10 10:36PM
she was rocking the baby.
she covered the doll with a towel, too.

by monk at 01/12/10 9:10PM
Enjoyed the visit!

by anne at 01/16/10 5:54PM
I love keeping up with Kaelyn and watching her grow up through the eyes of Frannie! I know you loved hearing her call you whatever she wants to call you at this time.

by iloveponds at 01/16/10 10:00PM
Wish I could have seen you all while you were here. Glad you had a good time. That granddaughter of yours is awfully sweet! She's always all smiles! Nathan was a BIG help with Brandon's party. I don't know what I would have done with out him and Sarah's advice. Happy January! ;)

by queenbeetle at 01/20/10 9:45PM
Yes - I would have laughed!! And I can hear you two laughing just thinking about it!!

by snickers63 at 01/21/10 3:57PM
i'm glad you are enjoying your blessings, you deserve them!
