On Friday evening our newest Great Granddaughter was born. She was a May baby instead of a June baby. She and her Mom are both doing well.
The smile says it all. Preschool is behind our oldest Great Granddaughter Cee Cee...onward and forward to Kindergarten in the Fall.

What a great graduation cap!
Cee Cee will be a big sister again this Summer before going off to full day Kindergarten in the Fall.
Do you recall...back in the day? Kindergarten was either mornings or afternoons every day or sometimes on a Full Day M W F one week and T Th the next week it was hard to keep track of.
Congratulations Cee Cee you made it!

Our oldest Great Granddaughter is five years old today!
Maddie sent photos of the girls all dressed up for Valentine's Day at daycare.
I found the dresses on sale...no doubt they were supposed to be Christmas dresses but hey they are red and have a bit of sparkle in the skirts.
Peach 20 months old
Cee Cee just one month shy of her 5th birthday
I think our Great Grandgirls are just as cute as can be! I have Valentine's bags for them...but we hear Cee Cee has strep throat so it will have to wait until she is all better!
Far Guy says Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Peach drove me nuts climbing up on the bench by the dining room table...the floor is tile and if she fell off backwards it would really hurt.
Then she found out she could sit by the fireplace all by herself.
Our Great Grandchildren are GREAT. Here are some recent photos of them at the wedding. They are growing like little weeds. They all belong to our Granddaughter Maddie and her husband Brenton.
Hey Mikey!
Cee Cee calling for her brother.
It was difficult waiting around for photographs. Uncle Andy was explaining about patience and how it is hard sometimes but we don't get everything we want.

After the photographs the children went back to the motel with their babysitter. It was a hard day for them being away from their Mom as she was busy being a Matron of Honor.

Our oldest Great Grandson rides a dirt bike and a quad. He was in age appropriate races at a County Fair. Yes he wears a helmet too!
Here he is with his youngest sister Peach.
Ree has a new nickname that has stuck. Peach is what everyone is calling her so me too!
She has seen us enough over the Winter that she no longer has stranger danger. She is on the move now as she is creeping. Easter Sunday she entertained us!
Peach is learning new things everyday! It won't be long before she is pulling herself up on furniture.
Far Guy had a little set back after we got home...too much activity. So he has slowed down and feels a bit better...I think. At any rate I am keeping an eagle eye on him.

Maddie visited the other day with the children. Everyone is growing up!

Ree is really growing.
Far Guy is holding his own for now.
We have snow in the air but it is not staying on the ground for now, we are in a Winter Storm Watch until Tuesday morning.

We had belated Valentines here one evening as the Great Grandchildren needed a babysitter or two when their parents went out to a company party.
I had Valentines gifts for them that I bought a few weeks ago. Gotta love the dollar store that is now a dollar twenty five.
Ree was having a bit of stranger danger. Her Mom calls her Peach.
Cee Cee
Big smiles from Cee Cee and Hey Mikey.
They had a fun night, Cee Cee ate all her brothers valentine candy and put hers in the fridge for the next time she visits. They played video games and had snacks.

When you are almost four years old you get to go to Jim Naah Sticks....or bass sticks... or Jim bass sticks one and the same to the almost four year old.
I got to go along to bass sticks.
When you are sited (excited) you can run really fast!
Ree is learning how to sit up by herself. Soon she will not be a baby anymore.
She looks so serious....part of the teething process.
She is a well loved child. She is just a few days shy of seven months old.

Our Great Grandchildren or "Greats" were here on Monday morning, their school and day care were closed due to the holiday yesterday and their Mommy had to work part of the day. Thankfully Jen and Andy had the day off. Andy made them bacon and French toast for breakfast and for lunch hot dogs and mac and cheese.
They can sure liven things up around here.
Hey Mikey snd Cee Cee did a fair amount of goofing off during their photo session with me.
Hey Mikey with Ree...she is working on getting some teeth. She is very entertained by her siblings.
After they left I had a long nap.

Our Great Granddaughter Ree is such a happy child. She has found her voice and a big smile.
Ree lights up our lives!
I got to see her twice this week. For Christmas photos one evening and then again the next evening when we were all cleaning at Andy and Jen's rental.

Before she was born I bought Ree a sweater.
Cuteness overload for sure by our Great Granddaughter Ree!

Our newest Great Granddaughter Ree was baptized on Sunday.
Isn't she a beauty!

The family photo.
Ree was happy to be held by her Great Grandpa!
She is immediately calmed by her Great Auntie Jen.
The baptismal gown was made out of my wedding dress and worn by all three of our Great Grandchildren.
Romans 6: 3-4
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Our three great grandchildren were here for the committal service for their Great Great Grandfather.
Hey Mikey holding Ree and Cee Cee helping
Thankful to have these three in our lives. They make us smile.

We took off Up North to meet our newest Great Granddaughter. She is 15 days old now and still just a little peanut.
We got to cuddle and feed her. She was visiting her Great Aunt Jen and Great Uncle Andy for the Holiday while her family was off on the lake and to fireworks. She is an easy keeper.
Ree our third Great Grand at 15 days old.
This is the blanket I finished especially for Jen to keep at her house...the $2 yarn blanket!
So much fun to see this beautiful baby.

Maddie sent photos of our Great Grands with their May Baskets!
Auntie Jen must have delivered them as I left them at her place when I had my dental work done.
BTW my stitches finally dissolved and are no longer driving me partially nuts!
June is still hanging around.
