Mother's Day Weekend

My house was full to bursting with family. Sarah, Kasey and Jaymz got here on Thurs. night. Eli, Traci, Elivia, and Lindsey got here on Friday night. I only wish Emily could have been with us. We ate lots of good food. Took walks. Played with the babies. The weather was sooo nice! We had the doors open (screened, of course) with fresh air coursing through the house, the screen door squeaking and shutting as people went in and out. The main project for Saturday was to build a green house near the garden so we could get a longer growing season for tomatoes. I got tired of harvesting green tomatoes. We just don't often get enough warm/hot days to get them ripe.Here's the boxes for the beds.

And here they are putting up the first wall.Here is as far as it is now. It will have an "A" framed roof and doors at both ends.

The babies got a bath in both of my kitchen sinks at the same time. That was precious!Elivia was very happy after her bath.

Jaymz was hungry before we got started. What a cute little frog he is.

Elivia communicates with cooing and bubbles now. She even managed to spit in my eyes one time when I went to give her a kiss and she was talking to me...pretty funny!Her mommy can almost get her to laugh.

She's discovered her hands and feet.

A little help from mom is good, even when there are distractions in the room!

Oh the concentration!

I just adore this shot with the angle of her cheeks and mouth!

Like Traci said on her blog, once we set Jaymz down next to Elivia her concentration was focused on him. Elivia makes a good leg rest for Jaymz.Aww, holding his hand!She spotted his foot!And then the other foot!Then got his hand again! (this one is one of my favorites)Now she looks confused about whose hand that is!There we got Jaymz' dimples...in his chin, too!Twenty toes! Oh how I love those little feet!Cutie-pie Jaymz!Fascination with the camera one second...Smiles the next!This was my first Mother's Day as a Grandmother. It was Sarah and Traci's first Mother's Day as mothers. And, what a special day to have your grandson blessed!Jaymz Dene blessed May 10, 2009
