After the big breakfast with Santa on Saturday, we headed back over to Duke's parent's new house. Yes, it is all finished and they moved into it the end of Oct. For those of you who were wondering about the progress, sorry for the lack of updates. The darn house just got finished so fast!
Of course, the house turned out very nice. The kids love it because they have 'their own rooms' upstairs. Funny how they stake claim to rooms in someone elses house! This is the only real 'scenery' picture I took so enjoy a sneak peak at their awesome bedroom set.
The stairs seem to have turned into the hangout for the kids. Although I repeatedly tell them not to play on the stairs for fear of someone falling and cracking their head open (have I mentioned that I am grateful that we live in a patio home and thus don't have that lingering fear).
Yep, my kids listen as well as rocks. At times I wonder why I even try. Especially with Grant. Lately it seems that he doesn't hear a word that comes out of my mouth! Must be a 4 year old thing.
Not sure if I have ever introduced our nephew, Carter. This little stinker was 1 1/2 when I met Duke. As a matter of fact, today he turned 10 years old. Happy Birthday Carter!
Little Audrey Mae Mae (that is what she calls herself...Audrey Mae Mae) found a perch on Grandma Sue's hip.
While Granty found a perch on Grandpa O's lap.
Grandpa O and Tootie have a pretty special bond. Grandpa really loves on his little girlie's. She loves when he tickles her or 'gets' her.
And she is constantly antagonizing him and looking for more!
Which of course, she always gets plenty of!
So, do you think she kinda resembles her Grandma? I've been told that Audrey looks just like Sue looked as a little girl.
I am sure she doesn't take after me...I was kinda a homely boyish looking thing up until I was two or so!
And we'll round this post off with a picture of one of my other nephews, Bailey. You know how teenagers are...it's not too often you can get them to look away from the tv/video game/cell phone to smile for a picture. Well, I got Bailey to smile for me so I declare that one huge leap for mankind!
Now I can rest well tonight.
