Growing Grandson

Here is our little grandson, LCC. He is growing so fast. This picture was taken right around his first birthday the end of June. He is waving his signature wave while laughing with Great-Granny Linda (Stacy's mom). L is walking now and finding everything he can, especially on my floors! He just had his 1 year check-up and he is doing well. He weighed 27 pounds. I think his Aunt MG will soon be catching him if she keeps growing at her current rate! I tell L all the time that he will grow up to be MG's protector! He is such a joy and BLC is blessed to have such a fun little boy.

OUR FIRST DATE

We went on our first date when MGC was 5 weeks and 5 days old. We rode the GSX-R to Starke with some of Stacy's friends. We ate at Cowboys. It is a new restaraunt owned by our good friends, the Helms. It was great to go on a date again. MGC stayed with Aunt Krissy and had a good time! We took this picture to give my OBGYN. He laughed when we gave it to him and said, "Look at the bike!" Notice he did not say look at the baby on the bike! Read our delivery story below to understand the joke about the bike!

Palm Coast, Florida

We were blessed to be able to go to the beach for 3 days with the Freeman family. K had so much fun playing with their kids and MGC had her first beach trip and dip in the pool. It was great to get away even if it was only for 3 days. We are very thankful the Freemans opened up their condo and family time to us!

ANNOUNCEMENT

These pictures were used on MGC's birth announcement. I can't get enough of her!

FAMILY MATTERS MOST

I have spent some time organizing pictures lately. Here are some pictures of my family members. The Christmas pic was 2006. My cousins had this picture taken for their parents two years ago. The boys have grown so much since then. My Dad is pictured with his wife Kathy. That pic was taken on a cruise they went on for Kathy's retirement present. Can't wait until I retire. HaHa! The picture of my brother's family was also from Dec 2006. His family coordiantes well with their clothes thanks to Krissy. I heard that was quite a job. Good looking families if you ask me! We now need a family picture with Madeleine!

Bathing Beauty

MGC is such a beauty! She was small enough at first to take baths in the kitchen sink. She is now almost 13lbs and has moved to the bathroom tub with her baby tub. She doesn't quite know what to think about baths. She is starting to not get nervous when placed in the water. Hopefully soon she will like it. We see some smiles during bath times. We are waiting for laughs and splashes!

GROWING GIRL

M is growing like a weed. She gets bigger and stronger everyday. She is 3 weeks old in this picture with her Great-Grandma Smith. I can't believe how time flies.
