Grandson & Family Visit -- September 2011

Lisa, Carl and Henry visited for 2 1/2 weeks in September. It was so nice to see them and to get to spend some time with little Henry. He's SO cute!

Grandpa Earl & Henry


Emma and Lauren frequently sang Henry to sleep.




Great-grandpa must have done something wrong!


You can still see tears in Henry's eyes.


All smiles for Great-grandma


Bear-boy



How much more adorable could a baby get?


Goodbye . . .

Bella enjoys watching TV. These are pics of her watching The Dog Whisperer.

Trip to See New Grandson -- Henry Carl

I just returned from a wonderful week visiting my first grandchild, Henry. He turned 8 weeks old while I was there and is smiling more every day. Lisa is a wonderful mom.



What a handsome boy

Henry is lucky to have such a loving mom like Lisa



Happy new family.

While I was down in Washington Lisa, Henry and I went to see my horse, Downy, who is at the trainer's.

Carl (who is afraid of horses) cautioned Lisa not to get too close to Downy. You can see the apprehension on Lisa's face. You'd never know this girl was once in pony club!


"I'm not sure about this . . ."


"Look! We're closer!"


"This is close enough, okay, Mom."

I got a bit of video footage on my iPhone. It's grainy, but still cute.

Bedtime

Bedtime for Bella and Beeswax. They usually take over the couch.





Bella sleeps in the strangest positions (our other Mal, Mika, used to sleep like this too).


There really is a dog in this tangle of legs.

Sprinkler Fun With Bella

Today Bella had lots of fun playing in the sprinkler.




Getting splashed in the face . . . no big deal.


"Ha, ha! I'll bite you at the source!" (I wonder if she ever gets a brain freeze?)






About to get soaked.


My dog with the unusual gait . . . pacing




Taking time out to play with her stick.


Come and get me.
