It was baby shower day for my newest grandkid, and the cake was good. Don't tell my doctor.

Jill explained to me that it's not Xander, because she doesn't want people to call him Alex. I predict people will call him "Zee".

 

The soon to be parents again. Could they have any more diapers? Yes, and they'll need more.

 

It's helpful to know if it's a boy or a girl. Due date? Late December. Just like half the family.

 

Including steps, we've got five granddaughters (and soon three grandsons) ... and do you think we could get them all in one photo? That mop of hair on the left is Distracted Willa.

 

So I just took another photo, and there's Willa in the center!

 

Five older sisters. I kinda feel sorry for the kid.

Remember: Surround a kid with books, and chances are they'll read.



 Who's a proud grandpa? I'm a proud grandpa!

We were down with the flu all week, so I'm just now getting a chance to post some photos from Lilli's 5th birthday party. Also, I didn't take all that many photos--I was busy eating pizza. But it was great, because all four of my grand-kids were there in the same place, and I don't get to see that very often. Also, cupcakes and ice cream.

Birthday girl!

When you're five, people your own age start getting interesting.

Also attending, of course, Lilli's sister Willa, along with Willa's Dad James.

So far they get along!

Grandpa's mission: Get Willa to smile. Mission accomplished.

Lilli has been, thanks to her mom Jill, getting into The Wizard of Oz. So Emily's and my gift to her was a volume of L. Frank Baum's first six Oz books, including the original illustrations--I read the books to her Mom, now it's Mom's turn.

 Introducing:  Willa Quinn Repine!


A little over two weeks old in the video and first photo and four months in the other pictures, Willa joins big sis Lilli as my second granddaughter. That means the ratio of grandsons to granddaughters is now even.

I tested her grip; she's got a strong one. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grandpa is boring.

 

 

"So ... what does the little human DO? Other than put out strange smells?"

 

Everybody smile for Emily! Lilli dotes on her new little sis.

Everyone's doing well. I mean, I've had a few twinges here and there, but everybody else is.
