New People

I was thinking the other day that in the past six months we've added 4 new people to the family (new daughter, Stephanie, new son, Christian and 2 new grandbabies, Logan and Jozalyn). With each new addition there is a sense of anticipation as you get to really know who they are and love them because of it. I love the people my kids chose to marry. And I'm absolutely CRAZY about my grandkids. Just thinking about it makes me smile. I do all the things I swore I'd never do. Buy them ridiculous toys, let them eat sugar behind their parents back, make my visiting teachers sit and listen to endless renditions of their antics and to my embarrassment, pull out the pictures of them because I can't imagine anyone not seeing that they are without question the most adorable beings ever produced!!! Okay, I'll get a grip one of these days, but honestly Barry is worse than I am. Lot's worse. He morphs from grown man to horsey, monster, football thrower, tea party guest, singer, story reader....immediately upon the arrival of said grandchildren. Every attempt at an adult interaction is puncuated by sound effects, side long glances, and giggles when those munchkins are around. All this, is in way of introduction of our newest little granddaughter, Jozalyn Jennifer. I spent some time in Michigan upon her arrival and introduced myself. She has the sweetest disposition, looks just like her mom eats like her dad
I also got to spend some quality time with Brax.
He's one funny dude!!! He calls himself super Braxton, so of course I made him a red cape to accomadate his pretending.
When everyone else was napping I decided to make some curtains for the baby's room. Okay okay I'll stop. But did I mention how crazy I am about them...I have a couple more pictures...if anyone is interested.

Unfortunately I didn't get to go. But wait until April, then all the fun will explode around here.

Do you make red capes in adult sizes? I think Scott would like one. We could have fun with that! ;->

I think every grandma thinks their grandchildren are the best of the best - take me for instance do you have an hour to look at her pictures? and she's only 2 months old!!
