Big News

Heather had her baby on Feb. 4th. Her son was also born on the 4th of another month. Mom and baby are doing great and heading home from the hospital today. Miss Maggie Olivia weighed in at 9lbs. 13 oz. Now Heather gets to go home and try to figure out how to juggle 2 children and a hubby. Good luck with that.

Good News Indeed

Discovering the 'panno'.

Heather is about to give birth to a little girl, and I couldn't be more thrilled. It will be my first granddaughter. Indeed, she is due any day now. She's a strong one, like a little ninja baby. There is no room left, so she just has to come out and see the world. They came to visit us for New Year's Day. Here is Weston, age 2, discovering grandma has a piano.
Heather recently flew to Italy to do a wedding. But I am happy she came home to have the baby.

When Heather Comes to Town We Don't Mess Around

My daughter came to visit with my grandson in tow while hubby went to a business conference.  We had a blast shopping and going to the park and eating out and enjoying all the cool stuff S. California has to offer.  We spent one day at Downtown Disney.  Another day we roomed antique malls in downtown Orange.

Need a Wedding Photographer?

Heather just updated her photography website. http://www.heathermillenaar.com/engagement.html She's busy booking June weddings and graduations in the Atascadero/ Central Coast area of California. Don't wait until all the local photographers are snapped up.

Guess Who Came To Visit Me Today

They stopped by on the way from Arizona to central California.  We went to breakfast and then went to the park so the kiddo could run around and wear himself out before the long drive continued.

Grandson Turns One

My grandson just turned one and I had a fantastic time on my trip up to see my daughter and her new house. I guess I forgot to drop by my blog and show all of you.  I took tons of photos. Both my daughter's brought their families. I got to see people I haven't seen in years. I want to move back there so bad but my boyfriend will have none of it.
As soon as my daughter gets settled in I'm sure she'll open her photo studio and art gallery again.

Busy Packing For a Trip to Atascadero

I'm going to go see Heather very soon for my grandson's first birthday and her big housewarming party.  I can't wait. In the meantime, I painted her portrait from a photo.
