First grandson, second grandchild

Yesterday afternoon Heidi called and John sent photos of Leeland, our newest grandson. He was a big boy at 9lb. 4oz.!! We are very excited and will be visiting them soon. It is amazing how quick we can see photos of the baby and talk just minutes after he was born. Emery looks like she has her hands full. Nice family photo on top.

Emery has moved

If most of you have been checking out Facebook you know that John and Heidi have moved to Tacoma Washington. John is now a regional director for Samaritans Purse - Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. We are missing them and especially Emery. Hopefully we'll get down to see them often.

Emery looks a little sad about moving.

One of my favorite things was watching Emery peel a mandarin orange and then divide it into sections. She uses all her muscles in her tiny fingers and hands, and concentrates on the task at hand. Grandpa taught her how to do it.

It was really great to have them up here for about 10 months and see Emery grow up. I had forgotten what it was like with our kids.

Spring break visit

Emery and me. Holly, Heidi, and Emery came up for Lois Ann's spring break.

Life is full of choices, do I want the pacifier or the stuffed tiger?
This photo is also sort of an optical illusion; Emery looks like she is standing.

Emery found her feet. This is the first time to find them herself.
I like all the mirrors in the hotel room.

Emery in New York

Here are a few photos of Emery and her parents and cousins and aunt and uncle. I've never been to New York city so am a little envious of little Emery. They all look a little cold.
The Dads
Nice group photo.
I've seen this statue before.
Is this a yawn or a cry?
Since we saw Emery at Christmas she has learned to lift up her head. I think she is 3 months younger than her cousin.

March 6, 2009 5 months old already!

Here is Emery at a few days old.
November 6 - 1 month old. Nice sign.
December 6 - 2 months old. I think she has John's eyes.

Emery Kadence

This is Heidi calling us Monday night at about 7:20PM Alaska time right after our first grandaughter was born.
She weighed 7lbs. 3oz. the same wieght as Holly and Christoffer when they were born.
I had a little trouble downloading the big photos so this is size we have for now.
