WITHDRAWALS

I've been having withdrawals! "Grandma withdrawals". I had to come home Wednesday and leave little Abby. I absolutely love going to help my girls when they have their babies but I don't like saying goodbye and leaving them. We shed alot of tears.

I'm so glad that I was able to go help Shara and Aaron. She has been such a good little baby. We had "sleep overs" every night. Her in the laundry basket and me on the couch. Shara wasn't getting any sleep listening for her all night. I'd take her up to Shara when she woke up to eat. (You can see lots of pictures on their blog).

It was fun to have Tawnya come and help also. I think she learned a lot about what to expect when she has her little one!

It's a good thing Lucas and Kody are coming here tonight (and Katie, Jed and Jessica). They should be here any minute!

I'm so looking forward to Christmas when they all come home this year!

CUTEST GRANDAUGHTER

Yes, we do have the cutest little grandaughter! Abby Lyn Call made her entrance on September 19, 2007 at 3:18 p.m. She was only a few hours old (like 2) by the time we (Tawnya and I) got here. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 20 1/4 inches long. She has light brown hair and is just darling. We've spent most of today at the hospital with them. I'll be glad to get them home tomorrow to start my "grandma duties". I do whatever I'm told!! AC and Shara are already taking such good care of her and will be great parents!

WEEKEND FUN

We had a busy, fun weekend. Our little grandson, Kody, was blessed on Saturday. There just wasn't a Sunday that both families could be there so they got permission to bless him on Saturday. It was a very nice evening. (see Katie's blog for darling pictures). We had planned to go down on Friday but Mark had another one of his "episodes" and ended up in the hospital for the day. Of course, the tests show nothing is wrong - again. I guess that's good. It sure is scarry at the time though. He got another ambulance ride!
We came back Sat. night from Katie and Jed's. We had to be back for our meetings on Sunday.
Grandpa Grant had a fun weekend also. He was able to go on the "Heroes" flight to Washington, D.C. for WWII veterans. They left Friday and came back Sunday. He said he had a great time and was so glad he got to go. Clint, (our nephew) met him there and was able to help him get around. I know he was very grateful for that (and so were we)- thanks Clint!
I've been trying to get packed for my trip - I don't enjoy packing so it takes me a long time.
I'm flying to Boston on Wednesday to help Shara with her baby. Hopefully she'll be here by then! Tawnya is coming with me which will be nice. It's much nicer to travel with someone.

New Projects

Kody is being blessed this coming weekend and he won't fit in Lucas' blessing outfit! He's too big so I had to make him a new one. I got it done yesterday. It turned out pretty cute. I hope it's not too big for him though. It looks pretty long! (Thanks to Melanie with the zipper).
My girls were telling me about these diaper burp cloths so I thought I'd try some. SIMPLE!! I added rickrack to the sides of it. (I can't believe they still make rickrack!)
I thought I'd better get these done. Shara's baby is hopefully coming soon - before next Wednesday- when Tawnya and I go out to see them. I'm so excited to get a little grandaughter!
We had a very nice shower for Tawnya and Shara last Saturday. They got so many cute things.
I was also asked to be the YW President a couple of weeks ago. Just when I thought I'd have some extra time on my hands! It'll be fun to work with the girls again. It's been a few years since I've served in YW. Maybe I'll get it right this time around!!!! We have a great presidency and a lot smaller group of girls since they divided our ward. Only 18 girls! Half of them are Laurels.

COUPLES REUNION

Resting at Temple Square - (tired and hungry!)

Grams and Gramps

We had our Nicholas couples reunion this past weekend at Jim and Grace's. Everyone was there except Grant and Wanda (we missed them but they were in CA seeing their kids).

We had a wonderful time and gained a few (actually a lot) of pounds! Saturday activities included IKEA, Cabelas and Park City. Then watched the BYU football game (first game of the season), played games and did lots of visiting and eating (again).

Sunday morning we attended Music and the Spoken Word at the Tabernacle. Then we went to the Grand America Buffet Brunch. It was yummy and we were stuffed. (Omlettes, crepes, seafood, grill, smoothies, desserts, etc.) Their bread pudding was the best! They even gave us the recipe.

Thank you Grace and Jim for all you did! We had such a nice time. You run a fabulous "Bed and Breakfast Inn"!
