Winding up for a good kiss!

Emma loves her little brother Ian! I love these two pictures of one kiss--she really winds up for a good one! I took these pictures on the last day we were with Lizzie, John and children--last Wednesday, June 23rd. Being a grammie is so much fun.

Summertime with Ben

 

I love having a little boy!!! He makes me smile and brightens my days. Thank You God for a fun loving BOY!

early summer harvest

 

I was so thrilled to be able to grow these summer squashes for my hubby! Summer squash (the little squashes that look like scalloped space ships) are Tim's VERY favorite. I purchased a packet of seeds that had three different colors of summer squashes in one packet: bright yellow, vivid green, and apple green. It's so fun to see these beautiful fruits of just a tiny bit of work! Tim loves them. Here I have put the basket of summer squashes plus one cucumber and a long yellow squash, on our front porch for the picture. Oops--one of the apple green summer squashes got a bit too big while we were not watching!

Our new grandson has arrived!

Baby Ian Andrew Smillie arrived on Tuesday morning, June 8th, 2010, weighing a healthy 9 pounds, 7 ounces! Mom, baby, Dad, and big sis Emma Grace (15 1/2 months) are all doing great. Glory to God!!

Here is a darling video that Lizzie and John shared with us on their blog, of Emma meeting her new baby brother. She waves "hi" to him and then makes the sign for "baby". Preciousness! (Is that a word?)
