Long post but we had fun makin' the memories!

Better late than never
Our rhododendron bloomed really late this year. It usually is totally bloomed out and fading by Mother's Day. I love this time of year.

Clean living


















Garrett , Genevieve and Danika are the bathing cuties for this post. Genevieve is sporting a shiner under her right eye from running into a car while using her scooter.

Sometimes it's hard to be the littler one














Garrett is catching up with Katie but she is still 3 months older so she is climbing and sitting in the cart while he is in the porta-crib and in the car seat.
But he gets to be the "big guy" when our friend Vinny comes by. Garrett is cruising around furniture while 5 month old Vincent is in the exersaucer.

Enjoying ourselves!
Katie doing what Katie's like best.



She cleans up really well though!

Rowan doing what Rowan's do best. Taking a little run before we get into the vehicle to head to Babies R Us.



They humor me


















There was a little Dumbo ride on thingy just outside the doors of Babies R Us. I made them ride on it. Rowan was okay with it but the others weren't quite sure they liked it.

Baby Shower for Cherise and her little Anabelle












I took many more photos but chose to show the couple of quilts that were made for her and the cute little gown that Muumuu sent from Michigan. We had a nice time seeing some folks that we haven't seen in ages.






Babysitter extraordinaire!
Cherise babysat for these two girls and their brother. It would be nice if Cherise lived closer so these girls could watch her kids.

A couple of Har's sisters
Harlan's sister Naomi is Cherise's godmother so she was planning to come to the shower. His sister Iris was here visiting from California so she came along. It was wonderful to see them both!

Harlan has been busy this weekend














Each of the grandkids is fascinated by Harlan playing the keyboard so he often has company.

The boys and Har did some yard work on Saturday. More is planned with Logan here for a couple of days.







"Signs" of things to come


















Harlan celebrates his double Twenty-seventh birthday on Monday the 23rd. He's a few years from needing this parking spot but I thought it was humorous since I took the photo of the girls the day before.

We are doubling our blessings and our fun as both Cherise and Alyssa qualify for the expectant moms parking now!

The ultrasound photo shows a little head down baby on the left side of the picture. Logan and Alyssa are having baby # 3 in early December.

Our grandchildren will, at that point, outnumber our birth children.
Fun times indeed!!!

Hooray baby shower! Hooray cleaning up outside! Hooray babies!!! :D

And remember! "No comments" doesn't equal "No love", tons of people are reading, appreciating, and smiling at your crazy kids, super cute grandkids, and fun happenings.
