Our beautiful little Jeffrey Stephen Miller

Jeff and I flew to Spokane for his blessing and had a wonderful weekend with our kids

Bubble girl

Cameron LOVES to eat (hmmm, wonder where he gets that from?

  His grammy maybe?) and he's always a happy baby.

We do love our mom/grandma!

Delaney is very affectionate and gives lots of kisses.

Eliza on the other hand...... is too busy to be bothered with kisses! 

You really have to coax them out of her, but Jeff has more luck than I do at that.  Guess she's Papa's girl!

Colby had his Kindergarten program and was the star of the show.  Here he's giving us an encore performance - though we did have to bribe him with all the change in my wallet!

Cute Noah, he's a drooler like his cousin Laney!

Love those beautiful eyes - and the cheeks - so yummy!

Brooke and Jeannie came up to visit and see our NINE beautiful grandbabies

brudders - oh so cute

 Jon, Amy and kids flew here for a visit between school ending and work starting.

We had a lovely week with them and spent time with most of our kids - just missing Jake & Lacey!  It was the first time all 9 grandkids were together.

Jeff and Jeffrey

Cam thought it was pretty fun to watch "Up" with Abs

Abbie turns 3 - holy cats that went by fast!

E & D enjoying the party.  Notice Eliza's shirt!  So cute, it keeps rolling up on her tummy.

The same clothes fit each girl so differently.  Julie said she might have to start buying a bigger size for Eliza and then Delaney can grow into them!

Papa & Cam

So precious - our little Laners

Our handsome - nearly 14 year old Jaxson

Ahh, so cute.  Cam & Noah

Best buds

Jeff and I got to tend while Josh & Julie went to a U2 concert.  

We were the lucky ones!

Missing Our Spokane Babies!

I sure had a wonderful time with these beautiful grandbabies and can't wait to see them again - soon!

Introducing Jeffrey Steven Miller

I am lucky to be visiting Jon & Amy along with Abbie and our newest grandson Jeffrey.  He is a delightful baby and it's wonderful to be able to snuggle with him and watch him wake up to the world.  His big sister is coming around.  She was pretty indifferent to him the first few days but now stops to kiss him as she passes him.  She's a busy, darling, happy and dramatic little 2-year-old girl.  It's fun to have a grandchild that says, "Oh! He's so cute!"  Can't imagine Colby, Bay or Jax saying that with quite the meaning she has!  I've long been waiting for a grandchild that likes to shop too.  She's not there yet but there's more hope there than with the boys, they think it's torture!  I used to have to bribe them to even go to Costco.  I love all my grandchildren and think they are the cutest babies, toddlers, children, pre-teens and teen-agers ever................well, at least since our kids were their age!  Love you all.

 3 days old

 Abbie's artwork on the front steps - she was sad that it got washed away in the rain a few days later

 Silly things to take a picture of but I sure get a kick out of the size of their garbage & recycling bins compared to ours.

 Not quite ready to hold him yet - she's still unsure about his presence here

 Such a hard life - all this eating, pooping and sleeping

 I'm two grammy

 Now she's ready to hold him

 Abbie wanted to taste a binki - then decided she'd much rather have a lollipop

 Ahhh, so sweet

 Beautiful mom

 Jon found out his heart does indeed have enough room for another child

 flying a kite on a cold spring day

 Abbie likes to wear her clothes backwards sometimes

 8 days old

 He's thinking about going to sleep

 Abbie reminds me of Colby - she gets lost in the world of TV.  

Here she is watching Sesame Street

 Isn't she lovely?

She asks "why?" about a million times a day but we can't get enough of her!
