More from my trip to California

This first Picture is of all my parents grandkids. Leo is totally hamming it up. He is such a happy, friendly baby.
The morning of Memorial Day we stopped at Papa's grave. His cemetery is so beautiful and peaceful.... Except when school is in session (an elementary is on the west side of it).
These Roses are growing next to Juju's house. I was caught by the way the morning light was passing through the petals of the white and pink rose and then the red orange ones are just so beautiful that I had to take pictures. Juju is my Dad's Mom and she is so sweet. I think she misses having us as little kids. We were the family that always came to visit (not that my other cousins didn't visit we just out numbered them all in one family :). I really miss Papa. Its been 7 years since he died and I really think he had so much more to tell us about life and all the cool things he did and knew. He was a good teacher- he taught us about weapons like the boomerang and the Atl Atl as well as the bow and the sling shot.

Memorial Day

Isn't Leo so handsome? He is growing like a weed and I can put him down and he sits by himself very well. His doctor says he "is as solid as a rock". He has been sick a lot this past month but he is better now... Almost.
On memorial day I was in California and we were able to go to Papa's grave. This is a picture of the tree that shades him. It was a beautiful day and I like to think it was for Papa who was a wonderful person.
This is a Four Generation picture with Juju! I am so glad my mom had that idea. While I was out in Cali I did not get one picture of Leo with Grammy (which I regret very much) but at least Juju got some.

Model Children

This is Leo and Michaela playing together! Michaela is so cute with him and really loves him. I think he loves her too because he looks around for her when she is not right in front of him. That may or may not be love- it may just be Leo protecting himself from sneak attacks. He is really smart like that.


Isn't this such a cute brother sister picture!!! My mom has one of Brady holding me when I was a newborn and he is kissing me and that is pretty darn cute but this is like model babies cute! LOL Am I bragging? Sorry but they are that adorable
