Grandma's are getting younger looking

Sharon and her bike

In less than 14 days my daughter Sharon will be a grandmother for the first time.  She's not quite as young as I was when my first grandchild Doug was born, but she's much prettier and with a very out-going personality.  Today right after this picture was taken Sharon, Suzanne and myself went with Megan to tour the birthing center where Megan will be having her baby.  Little Myles is in position and it's just a waiting game now for the next couple of weeks.

It was a girls day out today.  First we walked around Buy Buy Baby while Megan picked up a few things that she still needed for the baby and then we went to the Pottery shop where Megan finished painting a piece that she was working on for Myles.  It's a ceramic container that will hold all of his first's, like his first lost tooth and things like that.

After Megan finished putting the finishing touches on Myles' keepsake container we headed to the birthing center for a tour and then on to Megan's weekly doctor's appointment.  We all jammed into the ultrasound room and saw Myles on the big screen and I think he's just about ready to make his appearance.

After our tour of this state of the art birthing center and appointment we headed for Olive Garden for a good meal.  Like always, our little Suzanne wasn't able to eat with us but only drank iced tea.  We had a fun filled day together  and then all went home.  Now we just wait for that 3 a.m. call, but at least we know exactly where we are to go and where we are to wait for the arrival of baby Myles.  We're all very excited!

Family Time

Spent the whole afternoon and evening with Brian, Reva and Brandon today.  It was nice spending so much time with them.  We didn't get everything done that I wanted to get done because it was just too hot to be out.  Our mercury thermometer, that's always in the shade, said it was 98 f degrees, and that was around 6:30 or 7 p.m.  Of course it didn't really talk and say that....Jimmy said that it was 98 degrees.

Grandpa Jimmy with Brandon

We went to Ryan's to eat and saved a ton of money, so we all went shopping for school clothes since school starts in 2 weeks in Rockcastle County for Brandon.  We found some really good deals at Rue's and some really cool clothes.  Is "cool" still a cool word to say?  Anyway, Brandon loved his new clothes and gave out lots of hugs, kisses and thank you's to everyone.   I hope that I'm not embarrassing him,  but I hope he never changes that sweet side of his, we all love it! and we all love that he still expresses it openly to us.

Brandon

Brandon is taking a college history course this summer and should be done with it by next Friday, then he has to take the final test.  I couldn't believe how thick his history book is but he loves to read and he likes history so he'll do great on the test.  He'll be a Junior in high school this coming school year and if the time flies as fast as it has for the last 16 years, we'll be going to his H.S. graduation soon.  I'm so proud of my grandson and he's such a fine young man.
