Catching up!

First off... please notice that this is the second post today. Don't miss the previous one if you want to know about the churching ceremony for Ian and his mommy.

This post is all about long overdue photos. The first several are from Grandma Johnson's visit. We didn't take many photos while she was here, but these precious few were taken toward the end of the visit. We went to the park for a picnic and to feed the ducks (but not the geese formerly known as Canada Geese).
But we also took a few pictures of the Johnson generations.We think she kinda liked Ian. A little.We all enjoyed the visit, but Ian most of all. He was rather spoiled, I think. Almost every morning he got to be snuggled while he took a nap. He seems to really like that sort of thing, and now he expects mommy to follow suit. Mommy obliges him sometimes. He's too cute not to try to please.

Grandma was also helpful around the house - especially when it came to making dinner. We appreciated that more than we can say. She also left a lasting impression on our bedroom... in the form of a big red rocking recliner. It gets a lot of use - especially in the middle of the night when a little cutie requires some cuddling and feeding. The big red chair is perfect in many ways, including the fact that it coordinates so well with another gift from Ian's other grandma - the Hurricanes quilt!Did we mention that hockey season starts in a matter of days?!

Back to the subject at hand... Thank God for Grandmas!

Oh, and thank God for yummy sweet treats. These are the two I have made in recent weeks. The German chocolate cake was a thank-you for Grandma Johnson for all of her help. The coconut cream pie was from scratch and was a belated 40th birthday treat for Ian's Daddy. Yep. We like coconut. Most of all, though... we like a certain super-sweet little boy.
Finally, a random photo I just had to take when I saw it. *grin*

Known in these parts as an "Aunt Grace Photo", because my sister was great at snapping pix of rear ends.

Fun pictures. The bottles in the pockets are great! Nice the other Grandma got to bless you all there on her visit.
