Happy Thanksgiving!!

Would someone please tell me when time began flying by at the speed of light?
How can it possibly be Thanksgiving already, and my little Perry be 4 months old?
What a wonderful day we had...best in years. My Thanksgiving turkey weighed 28 pounds, and my little "turkey" weighs 16 pounds already!! Great-Gramie and Great-Grampie O'Leary came as well as Great-Nana and Great-Grandpa Mutti.
Grampie O'Leary was walking without a limp or cane after his hip replacement!
Grampa Mutti was released for the day from Whittier Rehab where he is getting better from his recent diagnosis of diabetes (I made a special sugar free pie for him)
Uncle Chris and Aunt Doe came by for snacks and drinks...Little Perry loved visiting with great Uncle and Aunt!! I think he fell in love with Doe!!
Elizabeth helped out in the kitchen, her little baby girl growing bigger by the day! She is now under 100 days until her due date! We are all looking forward to the big day!
Enjoy the new pictures, and I'll write again soon!!

Here's a Sneek Peek!!

Here she is!! I hope you can see her in these pictures.

Here she is looking down with her arm up near her face. You can see her little nose and chin as she lies all nestled in her mothers womb. Isn't technology amazing?

Here is a picture of her leg. Looks pretty strong, she certainly has a powerful kick!!

She may be a long little girl...

This was the picture that provided confirmation that we will be welcoming a little girl to our family. Gee, even in the womb there is no privacy!! :-) The arrow points to proof!

And of course, the happy mom-to-be!

Ultrasound Day!!

Hi All,
We got to get an early peek at our new baby grandaughter on Saturday! We all climbed into the party van and headed up to Salem to go with Marc and Elizabeth to have an ultrasound video made of their tiny baby daughter. She has beautiful fine features, a tiny little nose and a soft rounded chin. She was folded in half, kicking her feet over her head, at times finding her toes with her mouth. She was either being camera shy or coy, but knowing her mom, it was probably the latter. She kept putting her arm up in front of her face, making the ultrasound tech work hard to get a clear picture of her face. With some prodding from her dad, and some turning by mom, we finally got a clear shot. Elizabeth will be coming over this week and I will scan in some of the photos, then I will post them. In the meantime, I've included a picture here of some of the gang watching images on a television screen.

Perry joined us on the trip as well. He waited in the van with his daddy while we went in. What a good baby he is...Steve and I rode in the back with him while Marc and Liz rode up front, and Kelly and Rob rode in the middle. I don't know what we'll do when baby #2 arrives...I guess it will be grandma, grandpa and babies in one car and parents in the other!! Either that, or I'll have to buy a bus!!

Well, enjoy the pictures.. I'll get the ultrasound on by weeks end!
