Weekend Recap

Friday night - 11:00 P.M. Meghan, Justin, Bridger, and Taplin arrive after a long drive. Bridger got out of the car asking for apple juice and a movie. What grandparents could refuse such a sweet guy? Louie is happy to have company and share the pallet on the family room floor.Friday night 11:45 P.M. It might be close to midnight, but Taplin is still a happy little one. Clean jammies, a bottle, and Mommy is all it takes. He's grown so much in the last four weeks. Saturday morning, 9:00 A.M. -- Breakfast with Cherise, Jenny, and Meghan and their husbands. It's hard to believe these three graduated from Grissom ten years ago. Three fine young women, if I don't say so myself. Cherise lives in D.C., and Jenny lives in the Dayton area.
Saturday, 1:00 P.M. No nap for Bridger. It's time to play. He can build roads and race cars for hours and hours. Brrrrmmmm, brrrrmmmm. When he get tired of that, he takes a break for a puzzle or two, then back to the cars. Hours and hours of cars. 2:00 P.M. Saturday - Aunt Shannon and the boys share a moment. I guess Louie is one of the boys. Later in the afternoon -- Uncle Nathan takes a turn with Taplin. 4:oo P.M. Bridger and Taplin get to meet Nathan and Shannon's nephew, eight-month-old Mac. 6:00 P.M. - Spiderman protects his mom. He's our super-grandson!
Taplin's looking all grown up. At four months, he weighs 14 pounds 12 ounces, and he is about 26 inches long. Check out that hair!Taplin is a happy baby. He cries for his bottle or when he first wakes up, but he is usually ready with a smile. His arms and legs are on the move, and he is wide-eyed and curious.9:00 P.M. Saturday -- It's an Everette Sandwich. Don't squish Taplin!! 10:oo P.M. Two tired guys watch some T.V.
Sunday morning, we take it slow, and then the Millers, Everettes, and Etheridges head out to lunch before the boys and Justin and Meghan hit the road south.
