GRANDBABIES

This is a collection of pictures of the grandkids... On the left is Bennett with Grandpa.  On the right is Grandpa with Brooklyn.

We met Bennett for the first time at the airport, and then Grandpa got to hold Brooklyn for the first time when they arrived a few days later.

Here are the three little ones...well, Carter is not so little anymore, he looks huge in comparison to the babies.

 

Look how happy they all are.  They were super mellow with each other.

We had a lot of fun posing them for pictures in the blue chair in Gma and Gpa's room.

Our kids are really good at taking artistic and close-up shots of their children.  Luckily, they downloaded photos onto our computer while they were here.



Carter liked the orange tree out back.  We picked a few oranges while he was here and would eat them for lunch.

We were so glad that both Bennett and Brooklyn were at ages where they were super responsive to us. We got so many cute smiles while they were here.  There is hope that they will start to actually look at us on Skype one of these days so we can continue the relationships that we were building while they were here.

Parks were a fun destination while we were together.  We did lots of sliding.

Carter is always up for running and then falling down or sliding as if he is playing baseball.






We made new plaster print ornaments for the new babies to go with the one we already had for Carter.  How great it was to have all three with us at one time.  We got to see our children in action as parents and were so pleased with the great job they are doing as parents.

 We have a little better perspective on how our Heavenly Father may think or feel when we are parents and grandparents.  It is truly an eternal principle that we are so thankful for.  We love our children and our grandchildren so much!
