Our Five Grandchildren

I thought it would be fun to show all five of our grandchildren. You didn't know that we have five? Well let me introduce them. Below is Katherine Elizabeth Jole, daughter of Helena and Doug. Kate, as she is known by, will be four years old in December. Helena made the sweater that Kate is wearing.And this little miss is Elizabeth Anne Ahlstrom, daughter of Peter and Karen. She was born January 14, and is currently 4 1/2 months old. Elizabeth is very observant and is trying her best to talk and to move around. She had her first taste of rice cereal today, and liked it! It's obvious that she loves her mom and dad and they love her right back.

And introducing "Munchkin" Mills. Below is a three-dimensional ultrasound picture of Barbie and Kyle's little one who will make an appearance around Halloween. Later pictures showed that the baby is probably a girl, but that picture wasn't as clear as this one, so I decided to post this one instead. If you look closely you can see that her head is to the left. You can also see short little arms and legs, and the umbilical cord. Needless to say we're all really excited.

And speaking of excited, Helena surprised everyone by posting the following announcement on her blog on May 6th. Their little one will be born around Kate's birthday in late December. Part of what makes this so exciting is that there will be three little cousins all born within the same year.

And last but definitely not least is Betsey's baby. What, you didn't know that Betsey even has a baby? She has blonde hair and brown eyes and is very cute, and also very obedient. She is fourteen years old, and her name is Angie. We love her a lot too. She has been a major asset to the family for a long time. She is fun and funny and loves vegetables. She gets very offended if we cut up carrots, or broccoli, or cauliflower, or green beans, etc., and don't "accidentally" drop some to her. She is very good at "barkuming" crumbs up off the floor.
