My Grandson Ethan

Has anyone ever seen a more beautiful and tranquil sunset? The pond and sunset are literally in their backyard, so Ethan, Amber and Randy get to enjoy this scene almost every day. Last night I strolled with Ethan while Amber went to her ladies class meeting. This sunset was awesome for me because I saw it through the eyes of Ethan. Thank you Lord for our grandson Ethan, he has touched our hearts in such a wonderful way!

JUST-A-SWANGING!

Ethan loves to swing with PaPa and Kay Kay on our front porch. It calms him when he gets tired and sometimes rocks him into a slumber. It calms Jim too, now that I think about it. Grandchildren are wonderful!

Biloxi Trip - Before Katrina

Dustin and Ethan are great Buddies! Ethan is a lucky little fellow to have Uncle Dustin as his entertainer, Uncle and friend.

Dustin is back at Fayetteville for his last semester. We miss him! Jim and I went to Fayetteville on Tues morning and stayed the night. We ate out with him for 3 meals and then on Wed after lunch, I bought Dustin a new comforter, sheets and lamp and set it all up - He crawled under the covers and told us it was time for his nap! So after several hugs and goodbyes, we took the hint and headed home. As Jim drove home, I snoozed like a contented baby.

Jim bathed, fed and put Ethan to bed!

Jim gave Ethan his bath tonight at Amber's house, then gave him his night feeding before putting him to bed. He has been a very hands on PaPa, just as he was a hands on Daddy! Amber loves to watch us play with Ethan and we love to play with Ethan. He has two sets of doting grands. Randy's parents kept him last night while they went to a movie. Jim and Ronnie (Randy's Dad) spend part of every conversation bragging on what they did with Ethan recently. It get's very competitve sharing one little grandson!

The Day Before my Last Day of Work

Friday is my last day before I go on leave from work! I am so ready to be a housewife for a little while. I know that I will need to start looking for another job soon because of health insurance, but that's OK. I plan to go by and spend with Mother at the NH each day and make sure she is well cared for.

Tonight after work, we watched Ethan crawl for the first time! He warms my heart every time I see him. It stirs those memories of when Amber and Dustin were babies. I kept him all day on Sat. while Amber took their SS class to the lake. He did great and I loved every minute of it.

Ethan and KayKay

Amber brought Ethan to my office last week and they made my day. I wish I could spend more time with Ethan and Amber. He is growing so fast!
