A La Grandeoso Time

We are still in La Grande. Having a "grand" time.
Harlan and I have played a bit in between getting to know Henry.
Kiel and Cherise recommended a coffee shop in the downtown area.

Joe and Sugars
Yes it is.
Their food and sweets are really good too.


We have gone for a couple of walks around the neighborhood. Harlan did miles of walking while Cherise was in labor.
His new t-shirt says "She says I don't listen or something like that" :P

I went for a bit of pampering at:

Eclipz Salon
This isn't the best picture of my new "do" but it's a cute picture of the sweet stylist: Tiffany Garrison. She did a great job. I have a new sassy haircut!

Our main objective here is to enjoy watching Kiel and Cherise start out on their road to parenthood and to bond a bit with Henry since he lives so far away.
Grampa has the touch to relax those little ones.
Just like cousin Rowan needing to do chores by helping wash the vehicles...Henry went out on an errand yesterday.
He had to mail all of the baby announcements.

I have a feeling LaGrandians are going to see a lot of this scene in the months ahead.
The official first outing.
Grampa talking to his "little man".

This morning Har and I got to spend a couple of hours alone with Henry while his Mom and Dad slept a bit more than he allowed them to during the night.
He did join his mom for breakfast.
He got his first.
He is quite observant at this stage. Likes to be talked to.
I guess you could say we like him.

tough little guy there flashing all those "signs" ;) he looks like he's saying, "Yo yo yo". I think he must have heard Josh Albers at some point when he was in Cherise's belly. Haha, just kidding... we all know Kiel is totally more urban.

Precious times indeed. I can't believe how quick these new moms are up and about these days. I was still trying to figure out how to pin on the nappies at day 3! You've done your daughters a favor by producing those little brothers for them to practice on :)
