Tikis!!

Jeff took the pictures, and I was going to add commentary, but pictures are worth a 1000 words, so you don't need any of mine, right?  Cuz that would just be way too many words.  ;)  *Katie

King Purple Monkey

3 days old

This little girl has taken over our house.   

She is quite alert for being 3 days old.

Her eyes try to focus on the person talking to her.

I could watch her for hours - I have, actually. 

Her expressions are so cute.

And there are so many of them!

I managed to catch her dimple with this one:

I will definitely take a lot of pictures as she is sure to change daily!  

Great, Great Grandma

Not only does it describe my Grandma - she is the best - but it is also an "official" title now.  Great, great Grandma.  Ninety years and a couple of months age difference - Lily Mae is the first 5th generation alive in our family.  Five females - my Grandma, my Mom, me, my daughter, and Lily.  Yes, I know we need to do a 5 generation picture, but some people weren't ready today.  And it wasn't me!  :) 

My grandma has always been an important part of my life - and I am so glad that she is able to meet my grand-daughter. 

Lily slept peacefully in her arms for about an hour - until we left.  Grandma enjoyed holding her so much, she wouldn't give her up to anyone else.
