Grandparents!







We were lucky enough to have all 4 of Graham's grandparents visit following his birth. Steve's parents, Ed & Susy, were actually here when he was born. It was great to be able to share the special day with them....and to have all of their help once we returned home! Ed is a painter extraordinaire and Susy a great cook and baby whisperer. My parents arrived the week after Graham's birth. They too were delighted with their new grandson and were a big help to us here. Mom taught us many tricks, such as how to bathe a baby and calming a fusser, while making some of her signature strawberry pies. Dad helped Steve build new steps for the porch, replacing the rotten ones that were just waiting for someone to crash through them.




Here are some pictures from both visits...you can see Ohma and Pap Jr at the hospital just following Graham's birth, Janet bathing the baby, and Gary's new steps.
