Stuff I Want to Share

A - What we make D do when we're celebrating birthdays, including his.  But he did such a good job so that makes it ok, right?

This is the "ladder" we set up for him.  Cause we're safe like that...

But he's quite sure footed, so it's all good.  Again, right?  This counts as a birthday party game in your world, too, right?

7 - J-man may or may not like watermelon.  The jury is still out.

But with a smile like this, the jury has fun deliberating.

We think he likes the green side better than the red side...

But we know for sure that he likes to share whipped cream with GG.

(GG was just trying to make sure that the bath Mommy was running for J-man was truly needed - beyond a shadow of a doubt!)

L.3.5 - We are looking forward to meeting our 5th grandSON sometime after October 27 of this year!!!  Woo-hoo!  A-man and O-man are excited to have a brother coming, too!  R&E shared the news with A-man and O-man by wrapping 3 blue balloons in a box.  I won't share their video here again since it is their video to share, but just look at A-man's smile in this screen shot from the video!

And here's your first look at Baby L-man!!!  Such a cutie, don't you think?!

S.1.3 - 2014 is a year for babies in our family!  J&G's youngest daughter, L, and her husband, B, are due with their first at just about the same time as Baby L-man is due!  Woo-hoo!!!  Looking forward to meeting you Baby S!

C.1.6 - And finally 2014 is a year for babies in our family!  We are looking forward to meeting our 6th grandCHILD sometime in November of 2014!  S&A are due with their first baby the day before Pie Night 2014!!  (One of the very few valid excuses for missing Pie Night, I might add.)  They caught their first glimpse of Baby C just yesterday, but they are intentionally finding out the old fashioned way, so for purposes of this here blog, their little one will be simply known as Baby C rather than Baby C-man or Baby C-lady.  Here is their FB announcement from Father's Day - very appropriate for Baby C's musical, sound pro and ultra-cool parents!

I have been wanting to share this exciting news for a while now, but I've been a good Mimi and kept my fingers quiet...until NOW!  I want to share this little story of how they told us Baby C was on the way.  We were talking about the news of Baby L-man's arrival and Baby S over dinner one time, and I could see A across the table.  I admit it.  I was watching her - cause I was sorta kinda maybe sorta hoping that they might also have some news to share...maybe kinda sorta.  But A just smiled and didn't say a word.  Sigh.  

But then!  We were out on the patio at S&K's house talking after dinner and the conversation turned to the sleeping habits of each person and how babies have a way of affecting sleeping habits, S&K speaking from experience now that J-man is in their lives.  And I turned to my son, S, and said "I'll be curious to see how you do with a baby waking up in the middle of the night" to which he calmly, non-nonchalantly, offhandedly and totally coolly replied, "I guess we'll find out in December."  A-HAH!!!  YEA!!!!!  <insert way happy hugs all around here>

I love babies!  They are just the best way for people to start!  I'm so glad God thought of babies!  

And that concludes the stuff I've wanted to share for now.  Thanks for stopping by!
