Brand new granddaugher, baby dedication, and grandkids.

It has been a beautiful spring up here in the mountains of Tennessee this year. The flowers have been so colorful and vivid despite fluctuating temperatures.

 

March 2nd tiny Miss Katie Dawn was added to our family weighing 7 lbs, 8 oz, and 18 inches long.

 

Here is Randy and Dawn with their little angel in the Baptist Hospital in Nashville.

Christmas With A Cast

A week and a half before Christmas I fell and pushed my left elbow out of joint ending up with a cast on my arm. Dawn came up and spent the week before Christmas helping me get combed and dressed, doing housework, and wrapping my Christmas presents. Despite what a first seemed like a huge disaster, it all worked out into a blessing as we got to be with our grandkids a whole week instead of a couple of days like planned. Here are some pictures of our Christmas.

The big smile says it all. William was so excited to get a real tool set like his dad's.
