nnnnnnnnn
Look at how big we're getting!

Avery, Jaden, Petros & Sofia

nnnnnnnnn

I'm just going to resign myself to the fact that I'm not a consistent blogger and it's okay. I'm a busy person!

We've had a great summer so far! The weather has finally decided to cooperate and we've been able to get out and stretch our legs. Our biggest summer event was of course the arrival of Petros. He fits into our family so well and we all loved him instantly. He continues to amaze us daily with all that he knows and has learned. He is adjusting well and getting a bit more used to all of the new faces he sees because we have such a big family. His favorite game is Memory which is a game with several cards that you turn over two at a time to try and find a match. It's really good for him because all of the cards have different pictures and he names what is on each card as he turns it over. He can literally play this game for hours on end. He is really good at remembering where the "matches" are and sometimes will try to trick you into picking the wrong card so that he can take his turn and get a match! Rather than Dan and Tiff carrying "Match" around with them, I think Nana will go out and buy one to keep here.

Miss Avery is growing like a weed and has FINALLY decided to sprout some teeth. We discovered today that she has 4 coming all at once! At least they'll be here in time for her first birthday in a few weeks. We were thinking that she might not have any.... :-) She is crawling everywhere and likes to be chased. She stayed over with Nana and Papa on Friday night and woke me up at 5:00 am.....I didn't mind at all but brought her to bed with Danny and I and when I woke up, she was leaning over and giving Papa a kiss while he was sleeping. I would have given anything for a camera! She also loves her new cousin Petros. When we tell her to give Petros a kiss, she gets very quiet and gives him nice kisses.

Petros & Avery

Danny and I feel so lucky to have our grandchildren. It has changed our whole lives. We love every second that they are here and never get tired of playing or just watching them. They are truly the loves of our lives.......(our kids aren't so bad either!)

As you can see, I'm using a new blog design created for me but have not been able to figure out how to keep my font small...........I'll keep trying!
