Happy Birthday Nathan!

Looks like the right gift!

Here's Evan (Nathan's best friend), Nathan, Nikholis and Hayden. You can see a photo, a year younger under December 06.

And this will be one of my Christmas card photos this year.

Hayden woke to check out his Uncle too.

And just for kicks, Poppy, Gigi, and Hayden -- look his eyes really are open. And yes, he's sticking his tongue out at his Gigi!

Babysitting & Nathan's Birthday

I got to babysit yesterday! And of course what kind of a Gigi would I be if I didn't take lots of pics? A terrible one! So here some Hayden photos. And I even ran around Annapolis today trying to find a photo place that would take my thumb drive so I could print some out for my new work station.

You think he's trying to tell me something?



Isn't he just wonderful?!

And I do share, I even let his Poppy hold him.

And today we celebrated Nathan's birthday. He'll be 9 tomorrow! I still remember when he was Hayden's size! I can't believe time has gone by so quickly.


This is clockwise from Nathan, Evan, Kayla and Reilly. It was present opening time.

Good times to be had.

Mary and Nancy Jo
rapt attention!
And cake (and there was none left!)
And lots of balloons for popping!
And goofing with the big boys.


And some gifts for Hayden from Kenny, Cindy and Kayla too.

And.....
An almost Christmas photo. But alas, not to be this one.
Tomorrow is another day.

Oh Honey, we're home....

Hayden is now home!

Here's Myla wishing I'd put the camera away.
And bringing up the rear.....

More pics

'Cause you know you want to see more family pictures!
Nathan finally got a chance to meet Hayden this afternoon (Nov. 11) as you can see, he's very pleased with the little guy! And fussed about grams getting to hold the baby more then he does. His time will come.
Uncle Nik showed up to check out his new nephew. They bonded for quite a while. Myla said Nik hung around holding and cooing at Hayden for quite a while.

Yep, he's got a pretty good set of lungs too!

Uncle Nathan, happy to be holding Hayden again. His exact words were "Finally it's my turn."

New mom checking out the boys.

And I don't expect this one needs any explanation!

As Requested....

A friend has informed me that I haven't posted enough photos.... so, for your viewing pleasure.....

One very happy gram (aka GiGi); Carleigh's just jealous I got to hold Hayden before she did!

The Granpappi waiting his turn....

It's my turn, not yours.

Bonding!

3 generations!

And then Carleigh got a turn.


But isn't he just beautiful!!

Halloween in the Harbor

I (Genia) had a class to go to on Halloween this year. It's the first Halloween I've missed in a very very long time. So it was up to the boys to take over and make it good.

And good is just what they did! Kiss has a huge following in our house. As is evident by the costumes of choice this year. Feast your eyes:

This is Nathan as The Demon

Reilly as The Cat

"I,

All in all, not a bad Halloween would you say?!
