Grandma's Birthday

Today is Grandma Edge’s birthday. It is also Will’s eight-month birthday. Will went to his first Aggie basketball game last night. He was a real trooper, in his Aggie gear and after his bed time. We didn’t end up staying the whole time, but pretty close. He is just getting busier and busier each day. He has discovered a stack of CD’s that we kept by the computer, and even though I would distract him and move him and give him a new toy to play with, he still would go straight back to the CD’s. Not that they were necessarily more fun than his toy, but because I didn’t want him over there. He is such a stinker!
Mom-Happy Birthday! It’s too bad you have to work on your birthday, and we couldn’t throw you a surprise birthday party like last year. (If you would like to revisit that birthday, link to Abby Norman’s blog, where there is s great picture!) Thanks for being such a great Mom. We are all very lucky kids to have you as our mom. We really enjoy coming down and visiting, even if we don’t always have a plan of F-U-N things to do when we get there, and enjoy just sitting around with you guys. Thanks for coming up these past months and helping with Will. You have been a life saver, and it is fun to watch Will light up when he sees you, as do all of your grandkids. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you.

I thought I'd include some pictures of Grandma being Grandma for her birthday.

This is Grandma and Will in the middle of the summer watching Oscar roast marshmallows.

This is the first picture of all of the grandkids.

Thanks for “helping” me make his skunk costume. It was a hit!

This last one is of Willie sleeping in Grandma's arms. Doesn't he look so content?
