Grandchildren. Indulge me.

Before I head down to Marina del Rey tonight to see these little hipsters and their new brother or sister (photo courtesy of Blue_in_CA)



I wanted to share some pics of the other grandchildren that I took in Denver in July. I know some of you have been watching these kids grow up for years now (you know who you are), so here's a little update.

Here's Sage and Sebastian. Sage is now 14 and has decided to stay in Colorado with his mom (my daughter) and is a freshman at Columbine. He signed up for football and promptly broke his wrist, but he's still enthusiastic. Sebastian turned six while we were there, although he tells everyone he's seven.





Colton and Sebastian on the iPad. Colton, who's 11 now, came back to Alaska (and his dad) and will finish out sixth grade at his elementary school. He's not ready to move south yet, and I'm kind of glad because he's my only grandchild still here.





Sebastian and the amazing bubble machine.




I'll be gone for almost a month, so I'll only be posting iPad pics, if at all, but I'm sure I'll come back with hundreds.

There's a doctor appointment tomorrow and a possible inducement because of low platelets, but Blue_in_CA is hopeful that the extra week of rest that she took will allow her to go on her own schedule. I'm hoping that, too, because I won't sleep on the plane tonight and I'd like to get a night's sleep before the excitement.

storm it appears. I haven't looked in on her blog for a week or so thinking I should be making that my next stop tonight. All the kids are beautiful and please be sure to post as soon as you can after Blue_In_CA_child_#3 is born.

Our Sage won't be 6 until next week but started school last Thursday.


Have a great time and wishing you a healthy happy new grand-baby on the sooner side of your arrival.

Editing to add= Went and read the blog, hope the baby comes soon after you arrive but not until you get there and on her/his timetable. Sending good platelet vibes.

I fell in love with Sebastian in a very real way when I saw a photo you took with him alongside a red chair many years ago. I'm so very glad to see him again.

You know I'm nuts about Aiman and Sophia. Great photos.
Can't wait for the mystery baby and I hope all will go beautifully.
I'm glad you are there, even a stellar daughter needs her Mom if at all possible at a time like this.
