Being a grandparent is fun.

Bruce enjoys playing with Amy and Rylee and showing them the piano.

 

I love holding baby Esther and all my grandkids.

 

Ryan's grandparents have over 65 grandkids. We stopped by to see them. They love being grandparents.

 

Being a grandparent is fun, but so is being a parent. I know Christina loves being a mother just like I loved being a mother.

 

Day after Thanksgiving and Esther's name

I continue to be so grateful for my family. Jenny asked me to find out some more genealogical information on the Bronson's (Bruce's mother's family) I discovered that Esther is a family name. Esther Osborn married Jesse Bronson and was the mother of Leman Bronson, Bruce's 3rd great grandfather. So Esther would be baby Esther's 8th generation or 5th great grandmother. Christina did not know that when they named her.
Esther continues to be a doll.

 

It was fun to have Shera, Ben & Rylee come visit.

 

Ben has new glasses.

 

Esther mistook the couch for mom's breast and was looking for something to eat while laying on the couch. She can be funny at times.

 

Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for. The house is warm, but it was really cold outside. Minus 8 degrees this morning. We have a foot of snow. It was fun to have company for Thanksgiving. Dad did the turkey as usually. Esther has really filled out in the last month.

 

 

We tried to get some family photos of Christina, Ryan, Amy & Esther. These were the best we could do. Esther's head was usually leaning one way or the other.

 

 

Rylee & Amy

Christina holds Amy and Ben holds Rylee on their shoulders.

We had a nice visit Sat. and it was great to see Rylee & Amy play so well together.

More photos of the Weights

 

This photo was taken the day after Esther was born.

 

Ryan, Amy & Esther

 

Amy in the little ram hat that I brought her from China and Ryan. She was trying to make a fish face with Ryan, but I missed her fish face.

Esther Constance Weight

 

Esther was born at 11:30 pm October 16th

 

She is a late birthday present for Christina who turned 26 years old on the 15th.

 

Amy & Ryan are thrilled with Esther. Ryan is teaching Amy to be gentle with her.

 

Christina is such a loving mother.

Rylee's first birthday

Rylee was a little tired for her party. She just woke up.

 

She was not that happy.

 

She did like her stuffed toy.

 

Shera made her a butterfly birthday cake

 

I gave her a shutterfly book with photos of her first year.
