Angel Face...

How can you not believe in angels when you see photos like this?

I'm so filled with anticipation waiting for the next time I get to spend the day with Lorelei.

I wish Nate could be here also, he adores Lorelei. And he and I have so much fun together, playing games, walking around downtown SLO, and going on vacations. I'm afraid he's going to grow out of wanting to spend time with his grandma too soon!

This one is especially for you, Auntie K-K!

(It's for all of the rest of you too, but Kristi asked me for a video.)

Isn't she sweet? Lorelei spent the whole day with me. She is starting to laugh out loud, and certainly smiles a lot. The day went by so quickly! And we did nothing! Well, a few diaper changes, bottle feedings and naps. And we had a few conversations too! We talked with Auntie Kristi, and Lorelei told her lots of stories!

Tea Parties, pedicures, baking cookies and eating them with a cup of hot chocolate (saving that last one for a date with Nate also)-we have a lot to look forward to!

Notice that I keep the couch covered, it's one of Copper's favorite spots (and he sheds a lot). Waiting for a cookie...

He's a big boy!

Please forgive me for not keeping up with this! I really need to take more photos and put them on this page. I'll be able to take a lot of photos on the 24th of this month. Lorelei is coming to visit for the day! I get to babysit! I guess you can tell that I'm pretty excited about it. Molly is going back to work next week and her mother will watch Lo during the week, but I get to have her on the Saturdays that Molly is working. I wish it were next week already! So I promise I'll get some photos when she's here. Hmmm...can we start baking cookies together yet?

Yesterday was the day to be in San Luis Obispo! The weather was beautiful (and will be all week, but yesterday was Sunday, so a day off for me), although Copper (the dog) was panting like he was really hot. So we took a walk downtown and went to the creek. Of course, when Copper sees water he wants to go right in. I had his 15 foot training leash with me (finally wised up) so he was able to go in the creek without my having the threat of going in with him. But, he doesn't stay in the water long enough for me to get my camera out and take a picture. I'll think ahead next time and have it ready. He really does love water (on his terms). Watch for photos...

Happy New Year! Here's hoping that everyone is happy and healthy and had a lovely New Year.
I went to Westlake for New Years Eve and spent it with my friend Sue. I haven't gone out for New Years in ages! New Years day, Sue and I went shopping and I actually started my Christmas shopping for next year. My mom will be so proud of me ;).
After I drove home, Molly and Lorelei came by and picked me up, and we went out for dinner. Lo is getting so big and she is soooo adorable. She smiled at me a lot and she's trying to move her mouth when we talk to her. She's making little cooing and baby sounds. I love spending time with her. I'll get to babysit on some Saturdays when Molly goes back to work. I can't wait! It's hard to believe that she is only two months old, she tries to pull herself up to a sitting position. (Her Auntie Kristi says Lo is an overachiever :) )
Boy, times are changing. Remember when kids played cops and robbers, or cowboys and indians? Well, I was talking with Kristi the other day and she told me that Nate and his friends were playing "shoot the terrorist". They took turns playing the terrorist and the others would shoot with some sort of toy guns. Sign of the times, but they do live on a military base.
Speaking of sign of the times, I like it that I can keep up with my grandchildren through cell phone communication and picture messaging. I get a lot of photos of both Nate and Lorelei. I received a picture of Nate with his new haircut, he's into Mohawks right now. Cute, Nate! Keep those photos coming, Molly and Kristi! Or move closer to SLO so I can see everyone in person more often!
