Grandma Lucille & Her newest Grandson.....

I love this photo of Grandma Lucille and Nole' on Easter Sunday. I will have to ask, but I think Nole' was grandchild #20--ranging in ages from 42 years old down to 3 years old. Just guessing here, but I think she may have 15 great grandchildren. What a legacy, Grandma 'Cille!

Success....

"Ciao" GaGa and "Hello" Choo Choo!
If you are new to our blog, you may not know that when we first met Nole' we were told he loved Lady GaGa! Finally, we have success in that we have gotten him to transfer his love to Thomas the Tank Engine! And, if you know me, you will know it is a miracle that I kept Sam's old Thomas trains. So, Nole' is have a grand ole' time lining up the trains, giving them rides in his dump truck, AND even getting his big brother to play with him.

So, we are making a little progress with our little man! :)
