Big news!

Here's a picture of Tegan enjoying her first lolipop! A waitress gave it to her and she knew what to do with it!
She even offered me a lick!

Ok, the big news is that last night, Tegan took six, count them, six steps!

On another note, I have connected with my best friend ever from my childhood on facebook, Barb. She is a grandmother of three! I feel so
blessed to be able to connect with her anytime I want now! Today, I
am a happy grandmother!

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Well, he is eighteen, living in his own place, and I couldn't be prouder of him and at the same time, sadder. He is quite a guy, working, going to school and getting good grades and now supporting himself (for the most part).

I will miss seeing him everyday and asking how his day was. I will miss his presence in my day to day life, always a highlight in my day. He is a great kid and has always exceeding my expectations of him. Boy, the empty nesting thing sure is tough on a Mom, especially when it's your baby...

The new face

OK, here is Tegan's new face. We call it 'The Face'. You never know when she will give you 'The Face', but she knows it's cute and will lay it on you when you least expect it. Apparently, she gave the face to two elderly women at TGIF and they laughed and laughed. I'm just glad I could capture it on film!

Come on in!

Tegan at play

A totally different perspective

I submit Exhibit A of Tegan's adorableness. I don't know why she does this, but it is so darned cute and simply cracks me up!

Tegan goes to work!

Last Wednesday, Tegan visited me at work while Shannon had her first pre-natal exam. We spent the time up front, where she spread her adorableness to the people who stopped in for coffee. She is talking to my friend Susan here.
