Well, it was our last day of babysitting, i.e. having Emily all to ourselves.  Today I traded yard work for some serious one-on-one napping with Emily.  Paula and I are getting kind of sad realizing our visit is coming to an end all to soon.  We are truly blessed with a wonderful son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Here are a couple of photos taken shortly after Emily’s birth.

Paula and I have been enjoying Emily’s help in becoming grandparents. She is very forgiving and works hard at helping us grasp this new role.  Harley, Mr. Ginormous, has been assisting.  It is extremely tiring work for them both.

“Sleepy time, time …..”

“Time for baby to go to sleep.”

Today the boys (Greg & Collin) ran to Lowes then returned home for a couple hours of yard work. The girls (Molly, Emily & Paula) went shopping. Later everyone joined forces to prepare for Bruce and Karyn’s visit.  Bruce is Paula’s cousin who lives in Dallas.

So it has been just about 24 hours since our arrival in Shreveport, LA.  Paula and I are of course smitten by our precious grand daughter Emily.  She was taking her afternoon nap when Molly met us at the airport.

More photos to come.  Click the images for a larger view.
