The Joy of Being Grandparents!

Here are some pictures of our last visit with Kate. They are evidence that we are experiencing the joy of being grandparents! Enjoy:




STORY TIME WITH BIG BEAR!


WE ARE CAPTIVATED BY HER!


SHE IS PERFECT! JUST PERFECT!



Everyone tells you how wonderful it is to be a grandparent but you do not really know until you are able to hold that precious infant in your arms. A child born to your own child; an extension of her and of you. When she is in my arms, the world seems to come to a stop and nothing else matters. She captivates me everytime. She also captivates Big Bear (Grandaddy). Her little body cuddles in his big arms and they begin to talk to each other in their own special way. I know that Big Bear has lots of stories he plans to share with her. He will teach her about the wild animals, the countryside, science, love, tenderness, the old indian, the garden, flowers and trees and of course...about...CAROLINA SPORTS!

She arrived!!

Kate arrived at 11:23 a.m. on February 7th, 2007. She weighed 6lbs (just 3oz. less than her mom). She is perfect...just perfect! As we watched the nurse checked her out and give her her first bath, Brooks and I could not stopped talking about how beautiful and perfect she was! God has blessed our family so much. He not only blessed us with wonderful,christian daughters and sons-in-law, but now he has chosen to send one of his angels: Katherine Grace! Here are some of the first pictures of many more to come, enjoy!!








Waiting for Katherine Grace!


Waiting for our precious Kate was exciting. Bears of all sizes came to check her out!


Some took time to rest while others.......


...Just could not wait!

True Love


The greatest blessing in our lives has always been the love that God has allowed us to have for each other. With 31 years of marriage behind us, we can't hardly wait to experience the next 30 with each other and with our new granddaughters Kate & baby Jenkins! As you can probably guess, this blog will soon be flooded with pictures of these two new angels. I can't wait!

Have a wonderful Valentines!
