Autumn and Baby Addison, oh my!!!

Hi All!
Sorry I have been missing in action this past week.  But a little lady named Addison and her Mommy have been taking all of my attention.  If I haven't gotten to visit you lately I surely will soon.  I forgot how much time a new baby demands of your attention even if your just the Grandma.
This morning I looked out my window and saw these guys staring in at me.  I kind of forget they're around and then all of a sudden I am taken in by their beauty!

Our days have been warm and sunny this week with highs in the mid-seventies.  Our colors are nearing peak, probably by this week-end or early next week for sure.  If I could bottle up these days and hang onto them I surely would.

Dan's niece is getting married this weekend and it sounds like our weather is going to last at least until early next week.   The happy couple are exchanging vows at a quaint little bed n breakfast near the twin cities.
Should be fun! 

And here's hubby in his new role as Grandpa Dan.  I have yet to get a good pic of me holding Addison but I will by next week.  It seems I am always taking pics of everyone else!

Little Addison all strapped in and ready to leave the hospital.  She's been such a good baby so far and such a joy!

  Love that face!  Newborns smell so heavenly!

And a very tired daughter and Addison asleep on the chair. 

Katie is really taking to motherhood well and that makes me so happy!

She is only 20 but all of sudden she has become so mature.

I guess babies have a way of doing that.

And she found her thumb yesterday and of course I think it's the cutest thing ever!  And although she looks a lot like Katie did she definitely has.............

Her Daddy's eyes!
Now I am going to try to restrain myself and not become a Grandma who will bore you all to death.
But it's so new right now and I hope you will bear with me!
I am joining my friend Laurie, @ Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie for Favorite Things Saturday!
Because Autumn and Addison are some of my faves, especially little Addison, she is my new fave and will be for a long, long time!

Thanks everyone!
And have a wonderful week-end too!

She's Finally Here!

Hi All!
I am so proud to announce the birth of my first grandchild!
Addison Lou arrived today at 12:01 a.m. !  She weighs 6 lbs, 9 oz and she is 19 1/2 inches long.

She also has a beautiful head of dark hair and reminds me of her Mommy when she was a baby!
Pictured above and below with my Mom,  her great-grandmother Jane!

This is my Mom's first great-grandchild!  She has 25 grandchildren ranging in age from 1 to 30.

And a very proud, but worn out new Mommy.  Katie had a tough go of it.  She had to be induced because she began leaking amniotic fluid.  After 2 hours of pushing Addison entered the world healthy and gorgeous!
I am so tired myself and pretty weepy.  It's hard seeing your daughter go through such a tough time.
I will try to get around and visit you all when I can but right now I am going to go nap.
Take Care,
Cindy
