My Three Little Guys

Abi and Ryan are away for the wedding of  Abi’s close friend.  They’re actually in Iceland.  You know the place?  Heard about it in the news lately?   Yeah.  That Iceland.  The one with the volcano erupting. Uh-huh. Right. In the meantime, we have the tremendous joy of having  their three precious little guys for 9 days. These…

The Wedding….

A Glimpse….

Joy. Newborn baby sweetness. Discovering Mimi’s pantry has cookies! For one little grandtreasure who prefers to climb on anything, Mimi’s counter seems quite perfect.
