Tiffany and Kenny came over yesterday afternoon, and shortly after they arrived, so did granddaughter Hailey, her husband Toby, and Tyler. The little guy turned 5 months old on the 1st of the month, and he is getting so big. And what a personality!
Just like I can’t pass up a dog without stopping to pet it, Terry can’t see a baby without holding it. Here she is with Tyler, and me making funny faces at him. Obviously, he was more interested in watching what Grandma Tiffany was doing as she was taking pictures than paying attention to that weird old guy sitting next to him.
Terry had a good time playing with him, and he even laughed at me a time or two, but I think they were just pity laughs. Eventually, he got tired and decided that it was time for a nap. That little boy is surrounded by love. ♥
I didn’t get as much writing done as I’d hoped to because I had to do a lot of research for this chapter. I managed to get half of it done and will finish the chapter today. Roberta also sent me back some chapters that she had edited and proofread, so I’ll be making her corrections today as well. Then, if time allows, I will knock out another chapter.
