A little photoshoot!!

Compliments of Auntie April !!!

Tuff and Proud Auntie April

My oldest daughter April, went to visit little Tuff and had a little photshoot while there. He was quite the little photogenic little man.

Isn't he just the most precious thing you have ever seen? I love this one with his little hat.

And he loves his hands.

Just thought I would brag a little today since this is my very first grandbaby!!!

So today was the day and what a day it was. I just wanted to do a quick update and will do a better one later. Ashley dialated to a 10 by 1:30 and began pushing and after an hour and half they found out he was head up instead of down. So she pushed for a total of 2 and half hours and finally he came out. We thought they were going to do a C-section but that didn't have to happen.

Ashley had to have a lot of stitches so she is really sore. But both baby and mom are fine.

Today is The Day!! July 14, 2009

I am getting ready to leave for the hospital so that I can be there as a support system for my daughter and SIL as they get ready to meet their son and our grandson. I will be trying to to keep everyone updated as soon as possible. Please pray that we will feel God's presence and that He will give us peace and a stress free delivery along with a healthy mom and baby.

So stay tuned.....and have a blessed day.

Lap "Baby" I mean Dog!!!

This is what I see every time I sit down at computer, sit on couch, sit on porch or even lay down in bed. Bentley has become so needy lately and he constantly wants to be in LAP!!! Don't get me wrong, I love this little dog dearly but come on!!!! If I don't pick him up he whines continuously and then I pick him up just to get him to stop the whining. Bentley is actually Ashley's dog and I think he may be getting the feeling that very soon he won't be the only baby around so he is getting good use out of MeMe's lap now.

Now who could not love this face???

We Have a Date unless......

Well we have standing date with our grandson on Tuesday July 14, 2009. Well depending that he doesn't decide to grace our appearance before then (that would be fine) or..... Ash is in labor til after midnight. So please pray that it's not the after midnight part. Also, please pray for her and Tuff to have a safe and as comfortable labor as possible and that Tuff will be healthy and strong. I will post pics as soon as I can. Ashley started her maternity leave this week hoping Tuff would make his appearance. She has been so miserable with swelling and some headaches. But all blood work came back normal. I think she was just a little spoiled by her parents whoever they are!!!! HeHe....

April and Brandon have finally received their last pack of paperwork so it should be on it's way back to Taiwan in a few days. Please pray that the courts will get on the ball over there since these children are in orphanages and they are just sitting there waiting for a mommy and daddy to love and nurture them. It's sad that there is so much waiting to go through after all the paperwork is complete.

Hope everyone has a blessed and safe weekend.
