Grandchild #4

Time to go back in time to Anne's done it already.

First stop is to Grandchild #4.  It seems so long ago, although just about a month.

The birth day story begins with Grandchild #3, Sawyer, injured while grandma was on duty while her parents were trying to get things rolling at the hospital.  Then the debate, does it need a stitch...or not.  But then Connolly (Grandchild #2) had to get to his last soccer game...nah, no stitch required.
Connolly scored two goals.  Yup, that's right grandma couldn't find the jersey, but we did get there.  And wandering about the park was grandchild #1, Hunter Anne, mothering a puppy with Sawyer on her tail.  I guess she is okay with no stitch, darn the uncertainty.

Then off to the hospital to see the brand new baby boy, born June 24, 2010.

8 lbs. 11 oz.,  21 inches

With his very pleased mother, Kim


Madden Charles' first date with his three adoring siblings...Dad mused, "Should Sawyer have had a stitch...maybe so".

and proud grandma, thinking " see my beautiful grandchild and maybe I should have... (you know) got her stitched"

And a few days later a pleased Uncle Jeff and...
Grandpa Oviatt.


Now a few pics of Grandchild #4 at grandma's house on July 21, the day before I left for New Jersey to prepare for grandchild #5.


Now isn't he a handsome little man?

And Sawyer did she a stitch...nah

Grandchild #5

Just two days ago now, Kate and Jason, introduced their first babe to the world.Bridget Anne.  Since I am a blogger newbie, I'm a little behind on reporting the event, so most of you will have heard the news and seen the pics on facebook or on Kate and Jason's blog (jasonandkatesteed.blogspot.com)....But this is where you will see all the pictures Kate told me not to take.  Just kidding.  I remain true to my word and will for almost ever,--until a suitable monetary offer is received.

So here we go with approved pics:
