Ivy meets the Big O

Ollie O loves this baby! He says she's like a "baby sister."













He is checking out the bandaid on her leg. Poor Ivy got a shot. He knows about those. And why does she have that thing on her tummy?

He was excited that he got a big present with a blue bow on it.

And Ivy got a little present with a pink bow on it. Which, of course, he had to help her open.

They got matching T-shirts! He wanted them to put them on right away.

His says big Cousin.

Hers says baby Cousin.

Welcome little granddaughter

The Thurston Family




















Ivy Elizabeth Thurston
9 lb 5 oz, 21 inches long

April 28, 2010. The day we got a little granddaughter. Erin and I hung out all day (Apr 27th) and about 3pm we started logging contractions. The result was a 9 lb, 5 oz granddaughter, Ivy. No scrawny little legs on this gal. She is adorable.

Batman toys for Maw-maw's house

I pick Ollie up from daycare most days. He always wants to go to the park with the rock or play Batman. His bat cave at his house is pretty large so I decided he needed a smaller version at my house. So I recycled a barn I had that he really never played with. I called it a Batman house but Ollie said "no It's a bat cave." He loved it and insisted on taking it to his house.

It was so warm Thursday that I inflated his little pool and put water on it on my deck. When I went to look for pool toys, I got the bright idea to turn an old plastic boat into a Batman boat. Now Batman can fight the pirates in his pool.
