As I mentioned in my previous posts, I am catching up on the summer. The day after Milo Hickman was born, I posted a few pictures.This post picks up the rest of our visit.
What do you think Talia is so focused on?
You are right. . . It is one of her movies - Either "Ice Age" or "Spirit".
On Friday - the 8th - we had a 1 day birth celebration.
Here are the exhausted parents and their little family - Milo ( 1 day) and Talia (17 Mo.). I think Talia is more interested in the yummy little chocolate cake or blowing out the candle.
Our newest little grandson - Milo Hansen Hickman on his first day on this earth.
I couldn't resist big sister and her two pacifiers.
"Fires" seem to be the solution to all her problems at this age.
Day 2- Don't this mom and her new baby look great!
Garth and I spent several days working on refinishing this dresser so Talia would have a place for her clothes.
Saturday morning - August 9th - Preston took us to see the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs.
Talia is all ready to go in one of the little dresses I made for her, her back pack and her hat.
Here we are at the Garden of the Gods. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It is an amazing area of beautiful rock formations.
Sunday morning - August 10th -Talia and Gavin are ready to go to church. Talia is wearing another one of the dresses I made for her. She loves pockets so all of the new clothes I took to her have pockets. Doesn't she look darling in this one?
Sunday evening - Shanda's and Milo's first excursion out of the house.
Preston's parents - Mike and Marsha Hickman - invited us to their house for a great dinner with a lot of things from their garden.
Here is the first family picture of the new family of five. Shanda holding Talia, Preston holding Milo and Gavin who is just enjoying being with his family.
I did a good job of spoiling Talia while we were there. When I was working in the kitchen she wanted to be in arms or up on the cabinets where she could be involved. From the cabinets , the sink just looked like too much fun.
We had to have a picture of Garth getting acquainted with his newest grandson.
Another project while we were visiting was to help Shanda complete her nursery. In as much as Milo will take over the drib and dresser. We helped sand and paint a dresser for Talia then Garth made a wooden headboard and Shanda and I covered it and combined with a new bed frame and the white bedspread I had made when Shanda was visiting with us in Utah, we were able to put together this lovely junior bed - just the right height for Talia.
We arrived back home August 15th.
After having been gone from home for 12 days, this is what we found in our garden.
