Welcome to Grandchild #8

 Good morning dear friends!

I don't post much, but think of our blogging days with great fondness.  Our year has been good, and we are, naturally, busy keeping up with the lawn and garden this time of year.

On July 14th, we welcomed another grandchild!  Henry Carlo Micah was 8 lbs 2 oz.  Mom and babe are doing just fine, and he joins his 4 brothers and Dad...yup 5 boys!  He is such cutie, as I know all grandparents feel about their grandchildren.  His delivery took a lot longer than his brother Nick (6) who came so fast, there was no chance to get to the hospital.

Speaking of Nick, he did a great job at the county fair, where he showed his 'adopted' cow.  He spent a lot of time working with the cow and taking care of it, so he could show it.  He had a great time, and hopes some day to have a cow of his own.  He was a little sad to be at the end of this adventure, but wants to do it again next year. 

A few other pics from the last month.......
