Family of Four
Here is a pic of John, Karen, Ian, and Seth. Ian met Seth today and thinks he's pretty neat. He was very careful to be gentle with the baby and even got to feed him a bottle! He is proud to be the big brother.

The Things Ian Says
After leaving the hospital this evening, Alan asked me what Ian would eat for supper. I replied, "Chicken and french fries."
He said, "standard fare."
Ian said, from the back seat, "standard fare!"
He constantly amazes us with mimicing the things we say, trying out new words, matching enunciation and tone with us.
Today, he took his "backpack" to the "hospital" to see "Baby Seth". He likes ice in his water, dipped his fries into gravy and handed them to me to eat, drank like a big boy from a regular cup, and used a straw properly.
He is so fun to be with and, I must say, behaved wonderfully well on this long day. Tomorrow he'll go to Mother's Day Out and then back to the hospital for a short visit with Mommy and Seth.

Long overdue random update
Well, I haven't blogged since February! It's been busy around here, to say the least.
Trips to Missouri, San Antonio, and Arkansas have really put the miles on my car. But, oh, how fun! I love seeing family and participating in their lives. Jon's ordination service last Sunday was especially meaningful to me on many levels.
Ian and Caleb are growing bigger, talking more, and being more active every day.Their parents are doing such a good job of rearing them. They are such a joy to us.
And then the new babies! Seth should make his appearance next week. I got to see a sono done on Newbie2 this week (he's due in Sept). God is so good to bless me with grandchildren.
Read a good book yesterday. Ninety Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. Story of his death and resuscitation, painful trials of recuperation, God's purpose and victory in our lives. Wonderful story!
I'm enjoying this week at home getting to do some scrapbooking and random chores before I head to San Antonio next week. Lunch with a friend and a haircut are on the agenda for today. I love retirement!!
That's all for now. I'll try to check in more often!

Birthday Celebrations
Our family celebrated SIX birthdays this weekend: Ian (2), Lydia (28), Karen (29), Jon (30), John (30), and Grandma (82). This celebration was attended by all of the above plus Alan's parents plus Caleb plus my dad. We had a blast with everyone! As a mom, I can appreciate the trouble it is to travel with toddlers (not to mention being pregnant). I also appreciate Jon changing around his off day to accommodate the schedule, and John giving up an important conference and using a precious off-day (which he's accumulating for the birth of Seth). So many sacrifices were made to make this weekend the best! Who knows when we'll all be together again?
Here's a look at some pics:
