babes in brooklyn. gracious it was good...

I know. I know.  It's been like...forever.

But, good things have been happening

and when you see the photos, you will agree...

it was worth the wait!

So, last week Sweet Husband and I 

ventured to Brooklyn, NY 

where we spent several days with

our oldest son, Josh,

our daughter-in-law, Meggie,

and our almost five month old grandson, Gray.

FIVE MONTHS!!  Are you kidding?!

Nope.

He's getting ready to start chowing

on some solid food...rumor has it.

He's a growin' boy

and he's ready to get down to some business...

some creamed potatoes and bananas business.

I think he heard the solid food rumor, too...can you tell?

There's nothin' but sheer delight on that face!

So...our days were filled with lots of suger-stealing, snuggles, smiles

and general silliness...you know what I'm talking about...

don't try to act all sophisticated...

you know you act like a goob when you're around a baby...

I rest my case.

Even Dexter, our grand-dog, enjoys our visits...

he gets to do things he's not normally allowed to do.

Hey...it's the grandparent zone...

it's all about the spoiling!

Father and son...

there's a lot of love goin' on here!

Three of my favorite men in the world!

Love...Love...LOVE!!

By Friday evening it had turned quite chilly.

Gray was chillin' in his fuzzy suit...

snuggled next to his sweet momma...

the only way to brave the elements with a smile!

This one warms my heart.

Gray tried on his Halloween costume for us.

What a precious little lamb!

...definitely future wedding reception slide-show material.

I started knitting a blanket for Gray before he was born.

While we were there I finished it and gave it to him...

I think he liked it!

Snuggle it till it's thread bare, little man!!

It was a lovely fall day when we arrived in NYC.

The day before we left...three days later...

it was an October blizzard!

UNBELIEVABLE!

...and maybe a little bit fun.

So...our time came to a close with these babes in Brooklyn.

We talked...we laughed...we cooed...

we ate yummy food

from The Meat Hook, Fleischers, Carmine's Pizzeria...

and I cried when it was time to leave.

Not surprising to those who know me well.

But, hey...

look at those faces!

Can you really blame me?!?

Thank you, Josh, Meggie and Gray

for a wonderful visit!

WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!
