OK, it's true.
I had been on vacation, which is the primary reason I didn't post much. I tend to save the pictures and blog posts for when I get back. Just the way I roll.
So the first stop on our vacation was......
East Lansing!
Or maybe it was Lansing. Or Waverly. Or something. I'm not sure. My sister and brother-in-law sold their home and are living temporarily in an apartment while a condo unit is being built for then in Grand Rapids.
Why are they moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan?
Well.....
Please see the picture just below....
This is their grand-daughter. She is their daughter Tiffany's child. Tiffany and Derek live in Grand Rapids. So why are my sister Carol and brother-in-law Mike moving to Grand Rapids?
To be closer to their grandchild, of course. I would be tempted to do the same, if I had a grandchild, which I don't.
Her name is Bailey. She is roughly ten months old. She is very bright and curious. I did not see her cry. She was very happy and engaged with us. She loves food, and is trying new foods every day. She crawls and can push along with a push stroller type toy. She is not using words yet, but her non-verbals are bery expressive, and she makes it quite clear whan she wants more food.
Here I am holding her up for a picture with me and Alison. I was so happy that I did not make her cry. I'm not always sure how kids are going to react to me, so it meant a lot to me that she responded well to me.
Yes, it's true. Even though many my age have grandchildren, I do not. But now I have a grand niece! And it was a joy to get to see her this trip.
Oh, I also saw Carol and Mike, and Bailey's parents, Tiffany and Derek. I guess I should have taken some pictures of them. But I forgot. I was to busy taking pictures of Bailey.
Here's another picture of Bailey. Why? Because I can. And for that first day of vacation, that's basically what's on my phone camera.
Imagine what it will be like if I ever do get a grandchild.
I may have to re-name my blog.
