Hannah Visits Grani and Papa


Hannah came to visit last week. We looked at the creek up close, picked up some books out of her mailbox, and played with lots of fun toys. 

Jammin' in the Garage in OKC

Here are a couple of videos of Andrew, Gibson and Haven singin', playin' guitars and dancin'. Looks like a lot of fun!

Papa and the Grandbabies

Haven said, "where's Papa?" so I thought she might like to see some pictures of Papa. 

The Middle Child

Grani pointed out that the middle child never gets her own time. The poor middle child always has the older child in her pictures ('cause he's always been there) and then is overshadowed by the new cousin and the new brother.

So this is Papa's tribute to this lovely - and very photogenic - middle grandbaby who is so beautiful and full of fun and life and - by the way - is the only grandchild who will talk on the phone to Papa. Yeah Haven. I love you!
 

All the Grandbabies!






You can see some of these pictures and other great new pictures on Haley and Christy's blogs. Use the links to get there. 

WHITE CHRISTMAS

I was posting posting on my choir's blog - getting them ready for Christmas - and I ran across these pictures of Papa and Gibson. We had a "White Christmas" in 2003. It was gorgeous. You can see more pictures of it if you click on the Inchoirer link.

Four Mailboxes in Papa's Backyard! 

Hannah and Grani












Hannah and her mom and dad are here for a visit. Hannah was having a great time with Grani and decided that her toes were great for teething. 

Everyone wants to hold the baby!

All for One and One for All!


We had a hands picture earlier. We had to do another one since there is one more now. Can you tell who each hand belongs to? 

Cousins! 

After Elam was born we went to Build a Bear for some fun. 

Here's a picture of Papa with all of the cousins! Whoo hooooo! With four the fun never stops! 

Grani says the sixteen picture collage has pictures that are too small so here is one with only 9. Don't forget to leave a comment telling Papa how beautiful the new grandbaby is!  

This Picasa program from Google is a great way to make these collages. It has a place on it to publish to a blog and obviously it is working! Unfortunately I can only publish one picture at a time, so this may be it for tonight. It's time to put the big kids to bed. We've been on a late schedule all week. They fall asleep about 11:30 or 12 each night then sleep until 8 or 9 and if we are lucky even later.
You may notice that on the second row down and the third picture across that Elam has a dog dancing on his head. I guess the third child always survives! 

I found a way to get a picture on the blog. I may have to have a separate blog for each picture. 

Elam Is Here!

I don't know the exact time, but it was a little after 1:30. He weighed 8lbs 13oz and was 21 inches long. Another day or two in the oven and he oculd have been a 9 pounder!

I'll post a series of pictures later that show what a fun day we had, but for now, here are some pictures of Elam James Littleton. More pictures can be found at his momma's blog and his Aunt Christy's blog. You'll find those links at the bottom of the page.

For some reason the pictures won't post, so I'll add them tonight.

The Slumber Party Continues

How many can you get in one bed? I don't think we've hit our limit yet. Thankfully you can move some of us to the floor after they fall asleep.

Hands and Feet

I love these pictures. We'll have a new set of hands and feet tomorrow! Mommy Haley has gone to the hospital and they'll make sure things happen tomorrow! We'll post pictures of Elam as soon as we can.

In the mean time, you can look at these pictures and see if you can tell whose hands and whose feet are whose.

Oklahoma in August

The trees are a hot, tired green.
The roads are soft as the asphalt tries to turn back to liquid.
The lawns want to be green, but only in places where the sprinklers reach.
We wait until evening to swim when the temperature cools off to 101 at 7:30 pm.

But we're having a great time together as we await Elam's arrival. Here are some of the things we've been doing.
