More Grandchildren!

Here is a picture of the nine grandkids together. I can just imagine what the first attempt at a professional picture with all of them will be like.

The oldest girls up in our tree. You can just catch a bit of Grammy holding Dragonfly in place.

Dabby Do is wondering what she can get into next!

Here are a couple of pictures of the sleeping arrangements....the girls had to sleep in a big walk- in closet while they were visiting because we are in the middle of renovating Trainman's room and all of his things have been moved into their bedroom. His closet was all empty and the perfect place to put a king size blowup mattress. They loved it!! Remember they are all experienced closet sleepers....that's where we've always put their pack & plays at the lake house. It's quiet, dark and they sleep late when they're there.

MoRo and Dabby do in the sleeping closet.

Here is the newest...G.O. She's adorable of course!! Can't wait to see her awake!

This is Dabby Do. I can't believe how she has grown. She shy around strangers but around us she talks all the time!

Here is Butterfly taking a break with her Grammy. They have a special bond.

We moved our party outside to enjoy the taste of early spring. I think the groundhog was right!

Sweet cargo....MoRo, Dragonfly and Ladybug.

Ladybug riding on the rocking horse that belonged to her Dad and his brothers.

Here is Princess Flower up in her favorite climbing tree. A few years ago she tried to haul our big cat, Patches, up into the tree by tying a rope around his neck and pulling him up. Getting 18 pounds of fighting tomcat up into a tree was more than she bargained for....especially when her knot slipped and he began to choke. She ran inside for help and after calming her down, Papa Buddy, Trainman and her Mom were able to save Patches....but I think he lost a life in the deal.

Here is precious Butterfly. She's going to start Pre-K at their base school next Tuesday. I think she's going to love riding the bus and making some new friends.

B-10 opening a late birthday present, a scooter. I think he liked it!

CW on his 7th birthday last Saturday. He's proud to show off his missing teeth!

Butterfly and MoRo the four year olds.

I've been looking through my pictures from this past weekend. We had a wonderful time being with all the big kids and little ones too. It was like Christmas to me!! And to top it off, the weather was beautiful...a little taste of Spring in the south....in February! So, on Sunday, we carried everything outside and enjoyed the day. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Marine son...Wish you were here!

Trainman's Bio family

Trainman's niece, Nessie loved posing for the camera.

She was so sweet and wanted to sit by me at lunch.

Here is RAE. He's six months old now and a beautiful baby. He really liked Buddy.

And look at his clothes...he already likes trains.

Somewhere we've got a picture of Trainman at about this age in about the same pose.... it's amazing to see them looking so much alike.

Trainman's older biological sisters.

A couple of weeks ago we had lunch with our son's biological sisters and niece and nephew.

Unfortunately Trainman didn't get to join us. It was nice to touch base again with them since it had been about a year and a half since we had seen them. It was our first chance to see the new baby boy too. In one picture he looks like Trainman when he was a baby.

Granddaughter G.O.

G.O. and her Daddy.

She is just so tiny and beautiful!!

Papa Buddy even got a chance to hold her a few minutes.

Wow, what a yawn!!

I still haven't gotten to see her with her eyes open!!

Here are a few pictures of the first time we got to see our newest granddaughter at home. We even got to hold her for a few minutes which was a real treat. It was so nice to actually get to snuggle her close. She looks so much like her Daddy did when he was born. Her hair, her coloring and the size. It sure brings back lots of nice memories.

The Girls are Here!!

Breakfast at Granny T's house.

Ladybug has an opinion about everything!!

MoRo enjoying chocolate covered strawberries.

Dabby Do's strawberries are GONE!!

Dragonfly got a little oatmeal in her hair!

Getting her hair washed at the sink. A clean Dragonfly!

Dabby Do and Lady Bug on the way to get MoRo. She had to go to Pre-K for class pictures Friday morning.
On Thursday night the "A" team were the only two spending the night.

They enjoyed a book before heading upstairs to bed. They talked and giggled FOREVER before finally going to sleep.

It's been a Grandmother's dream come true.

The girls are all here....down to see the newest addition to the family.

Enjoy the pictures...we've had so much fun together.
