Adoption Day for the Gross Family

On March 13 my daughter Anne Marie and her husband Josh adopted a sibling group of five children. They have been living with Anne Marie and Josh for about eight months and we have grown to love these grandchildren of ours so much. Autumn and Belauna discovered my blogspot and so I have decided to start contributing again. It has been almost three years since I have gotten on.

Today we got to see the four oldest become baptized and it was such a great experience. We have enjoyed our stay in Las Vegas so much getting to know them better and seeing the adoption and the baptism.

Pictures will be forth coming when I get back to Tumwater.

Brandon's Baby Blessing

Brandon's baby blessing was a neat experience because there were four generations in the circle, his great grandpa Lee, both grandparents and his dad.

Lee Family Reunion 2009

Here are some pictures of the Lee family reunion, taken between July 1-3. It was a great reunion and perhaps the last one.

Grand baby #4 has arrived!

Brandon (son of Rachel and Brandon) was born 6 weeks early today at 7:49 pm. He weighs 4.68 lbs and is 18 in. long. He is in the ICU right now. We will find out tomorrow how long they plan on keeping him there. Brandon is a very wiggly baby and seems to be doing well, he has more hair than Imogen, little Martin, and Lyla combined.   I will post some more pictures tomorrow when I get them.

p.s. this is Shannon posting for my Mom again, she is at the hospital.
