Take your grandchild to work day

It was with great pleasure that I took Benjamin in to the office to meet my employer and co-workers. Of course, he was his usual pleasant, charming self and made quite a hit!





Your picture sits on my desk, Ben, and I look at it often, but it doesn't take the place of the real thing. Grandma loves you, big boy!

Rachel falls in love ...

DOES A GIRL EVER GET TOO OLD TO LOVE DOLLS ... ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DOLL IS THIS CUTE LITTLE GUY?!!





COME AGAIN, SOON, BENJAMIN ... WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

Ahhh, Benjamin....

What a wonderful visit we had with little Benjamin. At six and a half months old, he is the happiest little guy you'd ever care to meet!



Everyone got in on the act of holding him and getting their picture taken. Well, everyone except grandma! Seems like I was always the photographer! Here Uncle Steven gives Benjamin a snuggle.



Auntie Rachel was absolutely smitten with his little majesty. They bonded really quickly. She wants to go with me the next time I fly to Washington.



We even got Uncle Jimmy to hold him ... and it didn't take too much persuading, either! He even stood in front of the football game and rocked Ben to sleep ... big softie!




Grampa and Benjamin got a lot of one-on-one time as they do share a common favorite past-time ... napping!!



I'm not sure when our next time together will be, but I can tell you this, it can't come soon enough!

Grampa's Birthday

What a nice birthday present that hubby should get to meet his first grandchild for the first time! Happy baby boy and tired parents got into Baltimore airport around 1 a.m. Okay, maybe it's the grandparents who were tired! Little guy is the friendliest sweetheart you'd ever care to meet; these four days are going to go fast, fast, fast!

Drum Roll Please!!! ...

AND THE AWARD FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BABY IN THE WORLD GOES TO ...



BENJAMIN EDMUND NYE!!!



Okay, so maybe I'm just a little biased. But oh, my, goodness, couldn't he just win that prize?!!!
