eye candy

Just a little eye-candy. This is Romie Boy today. Isn't he just soooo cute?

Roman Laughing and Not

I couldn't resist sharing these pictures.

Roman - Sumo Boy

Too cute!

Roman smiles

Isn't Romie-Boy the cat's meow? He started smiling today. :-)))))

my handsome grandson with Steph and Christopher

While on holidays, I had no computer access. I went through Roman-picture-withdrawal. At home I can hardly pass my computer without looking at Roman's pictures. I got home last night and immediately went to get a Roman fix. I wasn't disappointed. I smiled and smiled. These are some of the latest photos from Stephanie.
Roman sleeping contentedly.
Aren't they lovely? Stephanie and Roman.

Is he not just too cute?

an adorable baby

My grandson Roman Carter. Isn't he precious?

Welcome Roman

Roman Carter.


My baby Stephanie became a mama a couple hours ago. Notice how Roman is looking at his mommy. I love that.

(Jaclyn, thanks for the photos. I love them.)

Correction

My grandson Roman doesn't exist. Who we thought was Roman is actually a she and her name is Avery Grace. If the ultrasound reader says something different between now and the delivery date, I will refrain from updating you. Something is weird about going back and forth between girl and boy. At birth, the results are 100% conclusive and at that point I will feel no trepidation with the findings.

Please join me in praying for the health and safety of Baby Avery and her mommy Stephanie.

A Beppe's Work is Never Done

Okay, so my sleepers are a wee big. The baby will grow! Now I know he's a boy and I can concentrate on manly things. Out with the sissy stuff.

It's a Boy

Stephanie had an ultrasound today and their baby is a wee boy. She said he flopped around like a fish and was very active. The sweetest thing is she saw him sucking his thumb with his pinky finger up. Precious, isn't it? His name is Roman Carter.

Gordon and I have decided to follow the Friesian tradition instead of the Dutch for what our grandchildren will call us. So, we think we are throwing out Oma and Opa (the Dutch and German words for Grandma and Grandpa) and adopting Beppe' and Pake' (the Friesian words for Grandma and Grandpa. Friesland is the province in the Netherlands that Gordon's family is from. Beppe' is pronounced Bep-pa and Pake' sounds like Pa-ka.) I can hardly wait to be a Beppe'.

I have been so grandmotherly of late. I've made three sleepers, two for a girl and one for a boy. I made several receiving blankets for a boy. I have been so excited to make little girl stuff. Those patterns are so cute. But now I'll change my mindset to more manly things. Only manly things for my grandson. No sissy stuff.
