Happy Birthday, Gibson!

It was four years ago today that I first became a Papa. What a wonderful four years it has been. There is a huge part of my heart that is shaped like Gibson (and now a huge part shaped like Haven and Hannah too). Even though he and Haven are so far away, I think about them every day. I can hardly wait to see them this week or next when Jr. arrives. Here are some fun pictures of the first four years.

Big Girl - Big Girl Hair

Hannah is getting to be a big girl. She spent the night at Grani and Papa's house. She slept the whole night! And this morning Grani gave her a big girl hairdo. Grani says it's in honor of Aunt Haley who has wanted to get her fingers in that beautiful hair for a long time now. She'll get to do Hannah's hair in a week or so when Jr. arrives.

Baby Watch!
Now with answers. Thanks to everyone who played.

Just a couple of weeks and grandbaby number four will be here! I can hardly wait!
To help pass the time we have a little contest for you. Can you name these babies? Put your guesses in the comment section. But don't cheat and look at Grani's answers before you make your guesses. I'll post the answers in a day or two.

A. Haven

B. Christy

C. Grani
D. Hannah

E. Papa

F. GibsonG. Andrew

Chillin' with Papa


Hannah was a bit too little to help with packing, so she spent part of her time just chillin' on the sofa with Papa. Later she thought about starting to think about crawling. She gets up on her hands and knees, but she keeps her head down. Perhaps she is saying a prayer.

Happy 4th!
I hope you have someone as cute as this to spend your day with.




















I wish I had shoes like these.

Hannah Meets Her Great-grandparents
Great-grandpa and great-grandma Littleton came to Nashville for a visit so Hannah and her mom and dad drove down from Louisville so they could meet. We all had a great time together.

Hannah Meets Baylee

Hannah noticed Baylee for the first time this weekend. Here is her response.














Then she burst out in tears, but we didn't want to put a crying picture on the blog.

Phone Calls

When you live a long way away from each other you have to spend time on the phone. Papa got a call from Andrew, Haven and (sort of) Gibson. They sang a song that Papa learned from his dad - the Cuckoo Bird Song. It was fun hearing Haven and Andrew sing. Here are some pictures of Gibson and Haven practicing talking on the phone. These were taken at the zoo when they were here a few weeks ago.
