November visits!















Like I said in the previous post, we have been really blessed recently to have our first family visits since Liam was born! It really worked out well to have the grandpas come out at this time because it allowed some time for Brian and me to get used to Liam and to get into a routine of sorts. Plus, Liam is older and bigger and more awake these days which was a real treat to the visitors! It all worked out in great timing.

First, Skip, or Pop Powers, stopped by for a nice visit. We had several nice evenings and even ventured out to Santa Monica and the Pier as well as lunch at an english pub. Liam did well, though by the end, he was over being in the car seat. It truly was special for this first time grandfather to be introduced to his grandson. And it was fun to see 3 generations of Powers' on the same sofa!

Next, Grandpa Bob and Rene made the long haul. And of course there were many oos and ahhhs when the met him. There was lots of holding which really allowed me to get out to do a few things by myself or even around the house. Liam sure does like to be held! It is sometimes hard to put him down. Oh well, I may have created a bad habit, but he sure is nice to hold. We had lots of chill time together and even enjoyed the OSU game on the computer. It was such a fun visit for me to introduce my dad to his second grandson. And of course Maureen was a fabulous help and already loves Liam to pieces, I can tell. It is amazing how many hours of entertainment looking at one little baby can provide.

Needless to say, many pictures were taken, and we just really enjoyed both visits. And tonight, I am picking my brother Robert up at the airport for a nice visit as well. We are so blessed!


So, Liam is now about 9lbs 5oz - WOW! He is more and more awake, and is looking bigger and bigger. We love catching him smile as he is drifing off to sleep, and I personally cannot wait for him to smile and interact with me.


Thanks to all who post comments and who take the time to keep up with us. I so enjoy reading them and hope that soon I can personally connect with you all.


Enjoy the pictures!
