dis-Mantle

The baby is away for a few days and I can't see him or take photos. so I have to keep busy in other ways.

After seeing Catherine's post titled decorate I was inspired to re-do our mantle.  It had only two items on it and really was boring.  I don't think I'm quite done with ours, but took a few photos to get a better perspective.  (tell me if you detect a theme)

ok, I can't leave without adding a couple of pics I stole from facebook (color version of those on the mantle)

We just love that little one.  But wonder why he is covering his ears at this tender age.   Hhmm, must be a "guy" thing.

Welcome to Our World

On June 7th at 9:57AM our first grandchild was born.  'Baby J' weighed in at 7#5oz and is 20 inches long.  We are IN LOVE!!

We were blessed to have
dinner the night before
with the new parents.





 And doubly blessed to be at the hospital for the birth. And the following day as well.  He is just prefect!
