Our son sent this fabulous photo in an email to me today. Baby G looks like he wants to try the pizza, but, of course, he’s not quite ready for that. His daddy looks like he probably will enjoy the pie after he puts the little guy in his crib.

Pretty in Pink
I took this photo of Verna looking for photo targets of opportunity in the rock and cactus garden yesterday. There is always something in the desert to photograph, including the photographers, themselves. Click on the image to enlarge.
Carnelian Necklace – 17th Anniversary
Here is Verna modeling her new “Empress” Necklace. The traditional list of anniversary jewelry and gifts says “watches” for the 17th anniversary, but I found an alternate to that to be Carnelian jewelry. Therefore, I located this nice silver and carnelian necklace made in Java and Bali with hearts and the delicate swirls of the far eastern designs. She loves it. Click on the image to enlarge.
Happy anniversary, Honey.
Watch Dog
We have no fear of anything unusual going undetected while Beethoven (Bay Bay) is on the lookout. I was out hanging up a bird feeder in the back yard as Bay Bay looked on keeping watch for the unexpected. He made a ruckus at one point when a roadrunner appeared on the hill behind us. It was way up on the hill by the neighbor to the north; I had to look several times before I saw the roadrunner move. Good watchdog.
One Happy Grandma and a Beautiful New Baby
We got home today from the road trip to California to see the new baby. Grandma Verna is still floating around with the happiness as a result of having a new grandson.
Quoting her, “He’s so soft, long fingers and toes, perfect in every way!” Baby G is still very little, but in perfect health and will be gaining weight every day since he is now nursing very well.
“I just love him – I told him so and he seemed to smile back at me when I did.” Click on the image to enlarge.
Baby G Video
Grandma Verna got to hold our new grandson today. He is the cutest little thing. This video shows him working real hard to pass his last meal of milk that Verna fed to him just before.
He is small, still just over five pounds, but perfect in every way. He has a nice round head, long fingers and toes, is gaining weight and, of course, pooping and peeing his fair share. We hated to say goodbye for now when we headed back to our campsite.
The other set of Grandparents told us that the new little guy will be visiting them often and said we’re welcome to come here whenever he’s in town. We will probably be back in September when we are planning to take our next California trip.
