How fast they grow....

On Monday, I helped Heather take Harlee and Jaycie to the doctor for checkups. Good thing I went because Harlee was in a funky mood and had to be wrestled and pinned down to the examing table. It reminded me of the old days of taking Melissa to the doctor when she had all those ear infections as a toddler. In fact, I remember that I ended up having to schedule her appointments when Greg was off so that he could help me hold her down..... Aah, the joys of parenting.

Good thing the blessings far outweigh the trials.

Little Jaycie is the best baby. Usually the only time I hear her cry is when she has her bath. You should see Beau give her a bath. It's like watching a ballet. He is such an involved, incredible dad.

Back to the doctor......

Jaycie is only two weeks old, but has gained one pound and grown 1/4 inch over her birth size. I think she changes every day. She sure is cute.

Speaking of cute.... Jade is a riot. He is such a happy little guy. It was fun having Jenn bring him over on Monday. We all just sat and visited for a while....what a treat!!

The only downside to the week has been Harlee. She's had a rotten cold and cough and just hasn't been herself. It sure helped that some special people (who will remain anonymous) bought her a beautiful new Disney jacket that has Cinderella on it. She wants to wear it all the time and carries it to bed with her. Yesterday afternoon we thought the world might end when her mom had to wash it.....

So my life revolves around the grandkids, kids, and taking photos of them right now. I know it won't last forever (Heather and Beau might have found a house to purchase...). So we are all trying to make the most of it. It's never ideal for married kids and their family to have to live with mom and dad, but I think we are all making it work the best we can. Harlee is confused and that makes me kind of sad. Hopefully as soon as she doesn't live with us anymore I can just be Grandma again and not that old lady who is trying to take me away from my mom.......
