ALL MY GRANDS
Beginning July 6th and ending July 15th, our grandbabies came to Tuscaloosa. What a week!!!
Good for me that all the moms were there most of the time so I just got to do the fun stuff. It is wonderful to see the cousins play together.
The Little Rockers came Friday. The others came Sunday night. Robyn came Monday.
We met, made cookies and a thingamajig. We picked the garden and found a frog and a turtle. Went swimming and went to CHOM.

Sarah Grace
We have a new addition! Sarah Grace NeSmith was born June 15, 2012. WELCOME!!!
Rachel and Stephen had to be at the hospital by 5 am so I drove from the temple and spent the night in Montgomery. I was updated when the drop was started and then all of a sudden she is 10 cm! But still they needed to wait another hour to push. I loaded Hannah in the car. She promptly fell asleep. I drove around and parked under a shade until she woke up. Cathy, Steve, Emily, Laura and Pamma were in the waiting room. I put my phone on speaker with Stephen and got to hear the first cry! So exciting. Then Emily got Stephen on FaceTime and we got the see all right after the birth. Technology! Rachel said she could not believe how easy this birth was. So thankful! Robyn guessed the closest time and Rachel guessed the weight.
It took close to 5 hours before Rachel was put in a room and the baby was cleaned and we were able to hold Sarah Grace. Hannah was afraid of her mama in the hospital bed but very curious about her new sister. She is wearing the Big Sister shirt given to her by Aunt Bev.

The following Friday was Lauren's (Stephen's sister) wedding day. It was fun to spend some time with the NeSmiths during this very exciting first week of Sarah Grace's life.

LeGrand had a trip to St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, that has been listed as one of the world's finest. It just happened to be our 36th wedding anniversary. I did not have my big camera but here are some shots with my cell phone.

 Spent almost an hour trying to arrange these pictures. You can see the pool deck and the 4 foot iguana who visited there. LeGrand sent me some beautiful flowers for our anniversary and the resort gave us chocolate covered strawberries and some sparkling water. |
