September Happenings in Review

It has been quite a while since I did a family catch-up post.  Since there have been some really exciting happenings during September I feel compelled to share.

On September 2nd, Dick celebrated his 84th birthday, and on the 4th, we celebrated our 59th wedding anniversary.  Although next year will be the biggie for both of us, this is still a milestone.

On September 24 we were blessed to welcome into the world, our 4th great grandchild and first great girl, Navy Grace.  Weighing in at 8lb. 4oz., she is a beautiful, healthy baby.  Of course, we welcomed her from a distance since she is in Indiana and we're in Texas.  She is a doll and her mother says the spitting image of her big brother, Jax.

Her other Great Grandmother was blessed to meet her and I think this is the sweetest picture of brother and sister.  Navy was born one day before Ann Mary's birthday.  So special.

Granddaughter #6, Ava Grace, a HS senior, is already having a fun and busy year.  We can't believe our youngest is already thinking about colleges.  They had homecoming this past weekend and she was asked to sing the National Anthem.  She did an amazing job and of course had her own cheering section.  You may not be aware of the Texas HS tradition of carnation overload for homecoming dates.  

Sweet Landon wanted to be his aunt's date but the one who could drive won out.

Also this month, our world traveler, Cassidy and now a new resident of Athens, Greece, was officially united with Athens native, Angelos.

We call him our real-life Greek god.  Welcome to the family, grandson-in-love #4.

A boy and his dog - Landon & Samson.  Is this not the cutest!

And that about sums up the September highlights on this first day of October.  Life just gets sweeter and sweeter.
