There is something special about first time grandparents! I know each grandchild is just as special, but it is so fun to watch the glow that brand new first time grandparents have! I know in the case of Jeff's parents....It changed their whole world!!!!! They came down when Ella was two weeks old. I know they wouldv'e come right away, but they were gracious enough to give me time with my mom and to have some time to heal. We had a great eight days together. Jeff's brother Tim was able to come towards the end of their stay as well. I could tell he loved being an uncle. We all had a great time together. They were all such a big help taking care of Ella and helping with projects around the house! I treasure the time they were able to have with Ella when she was so little! Thank you so much for making it a priority to come see her and invest time in her life! We all love you!!!
This is a picture of Jeff's mom getting to hold Ella for the first time. They got in late from the airport and took showers before they held her because this was during the first scare with swine flu. They got to feed her her night time bottle! It was a very special moment for all of us!
So Sweet! It was love at first sight!!! Noone wanted to go to bed that night. We just all sat around enjoying the moment together. Of course Grandma and Grandpa came bearing gifts from everyone back home!
Grandpa French was a natural! I think he was SMITTEN! They didn't want me to take pictures of them because they had just jumped out of the shower, but I'm so glad I captured this very special moment!
Snuggle time with Grandpa!
Jeff and his mom giving Ella a bath together! It was so much fun to watch them!
This was Ella's first Sunday to go to church! It was so fun to all go as a family! What a special day! I love Ella's little dress! It was a gift from my friend Emily! Thanks Em for spoiling Ella with all the cute dresses!
SO HAPPY!!!!!!
Tummy time with Grandma! She loved laying on the floor and playing with Ella!
More bath time with Grandma! :o)
Grandma and Grandpa read stories to Ella every night! They want to make sure she is very smart!! LOL
Jeff's mom had quite a thing for Ella's feet! She was always playing with them! It was so cute!!!
Sweet baby snuggles! There is nothing else quite like it! Ella and Grandma French got a lot of bonding time in together!
We hung out in the garage a lot because we wanted to be outside, but it was too sunny for Ella! LOL ....so we hung out in the "man room" as Jeff loves to call it! :o)
Just checkin' each other out!
