Hello everyone,

Here are the rest of the pictures that we took over the weekend when T and Fenori's new baby was born!

He looked a little red, but very healthy!

All the kids just hovered over him, checking him out!

Zoo, Deuce, Lili, Fess, Daddy, Mommy and baby!

Fess couldn't wait to hold him!

Does she look happy or what?!

Lili taking her turn!

And she was happy about that, too!

Deuce, the REALLY big sister, at 8 1/2!

Zoo even got to hold him, with a little help from Mommy!

He was VERY excited to see his little brother!

"See my little brother"!

Fess got to feed him first!

These next pictures were from the next day when we went back for our own little "Birthday" party!

Admiring their baby brother again.

They were all just fascinated with him!

Zoo eating his cupcake that Grandpa had bought for the party.

Deuce thought the cupcakes were great!

So did Fess!

Lili finishing up her milk - cupcakes make you thirsty, you know!

Even Mommy got to have a cupcake! Chocolate, of course!

All those cupcakes made baby brother hungry!

Pretty Mommy!

More checking him out!

They LOVE their new baby brother!

It was a great weekend and couldn't really have been planned any better! Fenori had 10 minutes of labor at the hospital and there he was! We have been blessed with 8 beautiful grandchildren! Thank You, Father, for every one!

Enjoy the last days of summer!

Shalom in Him!

Hello everyone!

We were really surprised to get a call from Fenori at 4:50 am on Friday, August 7th! She was scheduled to have labor induced on Monday the 10th, when her doctor was returning from vacation! But God had other plans! We rushed to their house to stay with Deuce, Lili, Fess and Zoo while they went to the hospital. The only problem was that we live 55 minutes away from them! We sped (safely! :)) to their house, stopped the car in the driveway, threw our bags on the grass and loaded them in. They took off to the hospital that is about 20 minutes away. She had called for the doctor on call at 2:30am and hadn't yet received a return call. They were finally checked in to the hospital at 7:08 and the baby was born at 7:18! No doctor present! Three nurses were there and the doctor showed up (from home!) after the baby was born! Fenori delivered an 8lb. 7oz. baby boy! He is beautiful and we are still waiting for a nickname! Then I will have to change the name of this blog again! Yay! Here are SOME of the pictures:

Fess, Lili, Deuce and Zoo waiting for Grandpa to park the van before we went to the 3rd floor to see their new baby brother! They were wearing their "Big Sister" and "Big Brother" shirts for the very special occasion!

Here he is! He was a little red at first!

Already wearing the green and gold!

Fess getting a chance to hold her new brother!

Now it's Lili's turn!

A close up of Deuce with her brother.

Grandma getting her spare camera ready for the kids to use. It was a great diversion for them when they weren't the ones holding the baby!

This is still the labor/delivery room. They hadn't been moved yet.

Daddy watching here!

Zoo was snitching food from Mommy's tray! Hospital food - yum?

Fess thinks her baby brother is just the best!

Deuce agrees with her!

And Lili, too!

Mommy snitching food off her own tray!

Daddy pretty happy that they actually MADE it in time!

Look at how grown up Deuce looks!

Lili is thrilled to be holding her baby brother!

Fess was NOT happy that she had to wait for another turn to hold him!

A full length picture - in all of his rosy glory! Or should I say "ruddy"? You know, like King David!

Here he is again!

Daddy trying to fit his Packer hat on for the picture!

The one the hospital gave fit just a little better!

A very happy Lili! Isn't she cute!

A very happy Deuce! She couldn't stop smiling!

An adorable Fess just loved to touch him!

Zoo LOVED taking pictures! We can't figure out what most of them are, but he had a great time!

The ones where Mommy helped turned out great!

Fess thinks this is the greatest thing!

See, the smile to prove it!

Does she look proud of herself or what?!

Talking to her brother!

Can you believe that she just gave birth to an 8lb 7oz baby boy?!

Lili getting another turn and just amazed at him!

Fess chilling while Deuce holds the baby.

We went for pizza after we left the hospital because everyone was VERY hungry by then!

Fess enjoying her pizza!

Zoo had a great time eating pizza!

We stayed for two more days until they came home from the hospital, so I have many more pictures to share in a few days!

We now have 8 grandchildren and feel very blessed! They are all so beautiful, smart, creative and unique! I can't wait to see how this little one develops! But we won't hurry things! Enjoying EVERY minute of being Grandma!

I hope YOU are enjoying all the people God has blessed your life with! Friends, family and relatives! Very precious in the eyes of God! Thank Him for them often!

Shalom in Him!
