Grandbabies....

I always said I would never be one of those gushing grandparents that bored people to tears with tales of their grandchildren and shoving volumes of photo albums in guests' faces...well I lied! Yesterday our daughter  Keely gave birth to our first grandchild, a son...Easton Archer Jones arrived yesterday at 3:55 EST weighing a hefty 9 lbs 11 oz and 23 1/2 inches long. Keely lives in Michigan near the Canadian border and Jim and I were not able to be there for the birth BUT we will be traveling up Feb 5th to meet Easton and bring the family back South...Yippee! they are moving to NC next month so that is why we delayed our visit by a few weeks...hard to not be there but looking forward to special times ahead with them closer in NC.

It wouldn't be fair to not show my other grand-furbabies so here they are too...here's Bo and Marley; English bulldog and kitty that belongs to our son Jacob and his wife Ashley.


Other members of the household include Ava and Luca...




A face only a grandmother could love


Everytime I look at this photo the song, "Somewhere out there...someone waits for me"...runs though my mind for some reason...LOL


Isn't Luca a handsome devil?

Marley and christmas tree

Last but not least is Esco, the sweetest doggie you'll ever meet owned by our son Bryce...I have a ton of great pics of Esco but they are on my desktop which needs to go in the shop...so this photo snapped this past christmas will have to suffice for now...I think Esco was a bit tired from his run with Santa and helping the reindeer out a bit (notice the antlers)...

  3. Oh what a precious baby, and the fur-babies are precious too! I said the exact same thing -even told my daughter that when she was pregnant with our first grandchild-I'm not going to be one of those silly grandmothers who talks about her grands and shows their pictures all of the time. Now that I have 4 grandchildren, people run when I pull a photo album from my purse! Grandchildren are wonderful! laurie
