A Day with Great Grandpa&ma Wolff

We were blessed with a couple of days to visit with Great Grandma&pa Wolff. Once a year my grandparents come to visit as they journey from Spokeann to Palo Alto. My grandpa is a lifetime heart patient. In the fall of '95, he got his heart transplant. It was my Jr. year of high school, and I can still remember the middle of the night call when his heart arrived. My grandma survived a stroke a couple of weeks before Dave & I were married in 'o3. So here we are enjoying another visit with them. These are a few snaps from the day, and I experimented with a little video clip too:

Gabe actually ran around the room wearing these silly glasses.

My mom trying to fill up a growing boy with graham crackers & milk.

We passed around this little doll.

Somehow I didn't get a picture of Great G&G holding Gabe, but here's last years picture when Gabe was 2 months old.

Lastly, my experimental piece. My grandpa & Gabe were great pals.

Fourteen & Four

These cousins are 14 & 4 months here. Such cute stages. Gabe is very interested in his little cousin Sydney. He's not quite sure how to love on her yet, but he likes watching her move and hearing her make noises. I love that Sydney has blue eyes unlike her mommy & daddy with brown eyes. God is so creative at surprizing us with unique features. :)

My brother Patrick is always loving on his little girl.

Our simple entertainment these days.

Happy, Hot, & Hoping

Not much is going on here, except we're happy~ God provides work, hot~it's been triple digits for most of this month, & hoping~ for cooler days ahead.

Here's Gabe enjoying his toys. He's in the take 3 steps/climbing stage. I'm amazed at how fast kids this age can move. Yesterday, I felt little hands around my neck, when I turned around he was standing on my chair behind me. Little Rascal!



Here's our future Cow Creek player.

Brook is hiding from the heat too! Can we blame her?

Last night, a customer gave daddy a box of boy toys for Gabe. I cleaned them, and set them on a towel to dry. This morning we enjoyed hearing his little hoot, when he discovered the loot.
