Arrival of new Grandson

We left Caprock Canyons State Park on April 25, and hurried to Lubbock so we could be there for the birth of our latest grandson, Dawson.  He was due on May 15 which gave us some time to visit with our daughter, Wendy, and her family.  We had a great time  leading up to the birth of Dawson on the 14th.  Prior to our leaving Caprock we did make a trip to Lubbock to help them move into a new house.  As you can see in the pictures below, Jake took it all in stride.

After our arrival we spent  time enjoying our time with Jake, Wendy, and Gerald anxiously awaiting the arrival of Dawson.  He was almost a Mother's Day present,  but was welcomed to the world on May 14th the day after Mother's Day, but more on that later.  We enjoyed trips to the museum, picnics by the motor home, and long walks thru the neighborhood.

Finally the arrival of Dawson.  What can I say that the following pictures do not.  He is another wonderful grandchild that is welcomed into our family.  Dawson makes six and we love them all.

Fortunately our oldest daughter, Tonya and her family, drove in from North Carolina to be with Wendy, Gerald and Jake for Dawson's birth.  As you can see below we have a beautiful and fun group of Grandchildren.  It is truly wonderful what can grow out of the love of two people.
