James says goodbye to Dad, above, and hello to the GrandDads--both were naturals with the bottle.
James met his Mom's cousin, Matthew.
James loves his Aunts & Uncles!
James loves spending time with Grammie!
Papa tries to reason with James that the sun hat isn't very manly and that he should look into purchasing a Home Depot onesie.
Julianne brought her baby, Riley.
Eventually, James had to say his goodbyes to the Gaspard group. He had a long talk with the ladies about how he feels he doesn't get enough attention in this family.
The Gaspards (minus two sons)
Papa & Gigi
James discovered that he loves mobiles, and ceiling fans even though they don't have nursery rhyme characters hanging from them.
Pop takes James out for a nice lunch downtown.
James tries to pay Pop back for lunch and speaks his first sentence which is, "no, no, no, I insist."
James pauses for a photo while preparing for a board room meeting at Pop's office. He has prepared a power point presentation on why burp rags should be more readily available in the office. Grammie is helping him with some final editing.
Eventually, we had to go home. James said he couldn't believe how fast the week went by and leaving his family just makes him want to cry.
Hi Clay,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, James is absolutely adorable!!!
Second, it's been a long time since Hermosillo 2000 and I'm glad that I found your link through Chris's page. Your family seems to be so full of joy in your photos.
What prompted me to write is that I found the most perfect book series for the three of you. Maybe you have already heard of it or even have them. The titles that I saw in the store are "Gaspard on Vacation" and "Gaspard and Lisa at the Museum". The books are by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben. You can find the complete list at http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/gaspard/ This is a lot of info... especially if you already have them.
Take Care,
Lindsay
