William and his mom

Our daughter and her family moved back from Germany on October 1st.  William was only a few weeks old at the time.  While Jake went to Altus, Oklahoma for training, Andi and the boys stayed with us. 
We were really fortunate to get to watch William grow from and infant.  He has developed a wonderful personality and is growing up fast.  Here’s some pictures we took right before Andi and the boys moved to their new home  in Charleston, SC

We were very lucky to have a chance to spend a few days at the Edelweiss Resort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.  Garmisch was the site of the 1936 Winter Olympics and is a great town.  While we were there we enjoyed the local “Christmas Market” and hiked to a frozen gorge.

Emma's Tea Party

Making Emma smile is not easy.  At least it’s not easy to get a genuine smile.  She’s been trained to say “cheese” whenever the camera comes out.  To get these smiles I say down at her tea party!   We both had a great time as she prepared lots of food and drink for us to enjoy!

All of my good pictures came at a time the kids didn’t think about posing or smiling, they were just being themselves!

William's Pillow

I was taking some pictures of my grandson, William, when our dog, Millie, decided to pay him a visit.   I didn’t think too much about it while I was taking the pictures, Millie is always checking out her kids and likes the attention.   When I was looking at them later I realized that it looked like Millie had been stalking him.  Check out this video.  I hope you like it. I’m including another picture of them that also shows what great friends they are.

My wife and daughter ran in the “Strong Legs Run” that benefits Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (where Karen works). My grandson, Caden, enjoyed going to the race, seeing the firetruck and bouncing “to the sky” as he put it. Here is a video I put together from that day. If you enjoy this, I would love the opportunity to create one for you, too.
