So many books, I love books....I have to think about i!
I love it when my mommy reads to me!!
I have a lot of friends that meet up with at the library and our moms read to us, sometimes they talk to each other - I think it is a win/win library thing for both mommy and me!!
Even tho I don't read yet, I love to look at books and love it when my mom and dad read to me.
Elaina and her dad!
What a little peanut!!
Grandma, I am so sleepy!!
All ready to go out with the bow that my daddy bought me, I think he is getting use to all this pink!
Emily and Ben made a great dinner - salmon, chicken, broccoli, and rice. I made some apple crisp -- we enjoyed spending the afternoon together, getting pedicures, doing a little shopping, ya know, all things girls like to do.
Ben and Emily joined us for dinner at the Holtvluwer a couple of nights also. I try to make some of their favorite things when I come to visit, so I made a roast beef dinner with all the trimmings - I enjoy cooking and baking for them when I am there!!
Hudson playing cars with Uncle Ben and Aunt Emily, there were a lot of crashes, but at least no one was hurt!!
The girls went out for lunch at a Tea Room where they live. It was a very quaint and cool place. I think that a place like this in GR would be a great venture !! We had a delicious lunch and it was fun just to catch up and take our time with lunch! Thanks girls!!
Hudson loves his baby sister, Elaina. He is very gentle with her, but I think she will probably grow up to be a tough little lady!!
Mommy, she is smiling at me!!
I think we can keep her! I love her mommy!!
Brooke is a great mom! She has two darling children and of course I can say that since I am their grandma! This household is getting busier and more fun by the day!! Thank you for letting me stay with you in Texas for a week!
Hudson looking at pumpkins, wait....
there's a tractor, there is so much to see and my mom and dad want family pictures???
Ok, I'll pose with them quick with this wheelbarrow and then I'll go and pick out a pumpkin!
hmmm, I wonder which pumpkin Uncle Nick would pick? Don't you think my dad and I look cool with our orange pumpkin look alike shirts on? I want to look like my dad! He is a cool dad!!
Went to the pumpkin patch in Houston when Uncle Tim was here. Hudson is showing which pumpkin he would like. Hudson loves his Uncle Tim!
Tim gets to meet and hold Elaina....she is a precious little gift from God. She felt very safe in Uncle Tim's strong arms. So glad you could come to visit!!
The picture above was taken by my webcam a few days after Elaina was born - Nate and Brooke welcomed Elaina (Laney) on October 1. She is a beautiful addition to their family and I am very thankful for a beautiful new granddaughter!
Elaina at 2+weeks when I was able to get a better picture of her. I was able to head to Texas for a week to help them by doing some cooking, baking and some cleaning. Was also able to see Emily and Ben at the same time!
