Grandma Jean's Chairs are the Best!


Just trying the chairs out for size.


This is a much more comfortable way
to sit.




We love Grandpa Bill




Both Cousin Olive (just about 2 years) and Shay (9 months) enjoyed spending the holiday with Grandpa Bill.

Fun at Tracie's















Shay attends daycare 4 days a week at our provider Tracie's house. She seems to have a lot of fun, and we get to read about her days in her journal, the board at the house, and monthly newsletter. She has made a lot of friends, and is all smiles when we drop her off. Here are some pics of her in action at Tracie's.

Cousin Taylor




Taylor is becoming such a big girl! She is on the go now-- walking, walking and more walking! She also becoming a little talker-- saying "mama, dada, and pretty" or so I have heard!
