What I Did On The Weekend!

Kate, Anna, and I went to Toronto to visit with Will and his parents. February 24th is my son's 33rd birthday. Strange ... but in two years ... he and I will be the same age ... hehehe.My nephew Mark and his wife Angela brought nine month old Claire over to visit with Will and Anna. It was TRULY baby heaven ... :-)
Will is almost ready to take off crawling ... and sure knows how to roll around.

Anna had fun playing with Will's farm animal collection. She has the same animals at home in her collection.

Claire ... was thrilled to get to sit on the couch with the 'big people'. What a smile on that little charmer ... ;-)
Will and Anna had fun together ... until Anna cried. Every time Anna cried ... so did Will! Then Anna would stop ... and Will would still be crying, so Anna would start up again. I am hoping that this 'routine' will be short lived ... LOL


And here are a couple of pictures of 'my boys' ... Christopher William ... and William Elliot.
It was a WONDERFUL birthday celebration! Happy Birthday Chris! I love you.

Anna - Valentine's day

I have not done a good job of keeping up my blog. For that I am sorry. There is just so much whirling around in my life right now that I need to deal with ... and I am.

In the mean time ... This little doll is Anna on Valentine's Day.

This weekend I am going to spend some time with Will. And THIS time ... I WILL take my camera ... :-)

I love these two babies ... and the parents who produced them ... :-) At this point in my life, the babies and their parents ... make it all worthwhile ... and keep me going ... ;-)

The Most Beautiful Little Boy in the World!

With weather ... and work ... and changes in my life (which I'll elaborate on further in the near future) ... I haven't been to see Will for a few weeks. My Daughter-in-Law Kerri (who I love beyond words), sent me these pictures of my Grandson.
And of course, I cried! He is just the most BEAUTIFUL little boy in the world! I miss him so much ... and hope that he never forgets who his Grandpa is ... and that his Grandpa loves him.
I am hoping for a visit next Monday afternoon ... which is a day off from work ... :-)

I LOVE YOU WILL!!

Anna - at Six Weeks

Like much of North America, we are in a cold snap right now, with very high winds and drifting snow. Kate needed to go into town to get some things and didn't want to take Anna out in the weather ... so ... she called to see if I'd babysit. I said 'YES', even before the question was out of her mouth. So ... Anna and Grandpa spent much of the afternoon together ... :-)
When she woke up, she was a bit unsure of what mood she'd be in ...
but then she heard that voice ... and knew that Grandpa was here ... and that he is a 'push-over' ... so she'd get whatever she wanted. That put her in a VERY good mood ... ;-)
Kate came home, earlier than we were hoping ... and Anna begged me to stay ... in her own way. But, alas ... I had sheep to feed!

Happy Birthday Anna!

Anna ... In Sheep's Clothing

What is there to say ... other than ... is she NOT the CUTEST baby girl ever born??? ... hehehe

Certainly ... she is the most loved ... :-).

Dogs

Above is Kayla, waiting for a belly rub; Nick wondering what he is supposed to do; and Kate with Anna tucked in a snugli, inside her coat.
Oh dear! This is Kate, Anna and I with Nick and Kayla. I MUST buy a new coat. I had NO idea that it looked this bad!!!
Wondering where supper is ...
And ... Nick ... at work with his sheep ... sort of ... :-).
