What a great afternoon! Kit and I took Mamaw and Papaw to Apex to visit Turner for the first time. Turner is their third great grandchild! They were so excited to see and hold Turner today. Matt and Kristen were so generous to give them time so that only they could hold this sweet baby for the afternoon. M and P enjoyed every minute of it. They also enjoyed time with Matt and Kristen.
Turner had a full tummy, was very alert and very comfortable
as his Great Grandmother, known as Mamaw, held him first
this afternoon. He's wrapped up in a blanket that his Mamaw
made especially for him, a blanket with cute green frogs!
Mamaw talking to Turner, telling him how much
she loves him, just like she has loved his Dad, Matt, for
many years. Matt was their second grandchild, following
Sherri, my brother Sherman's daughter. They are 10 years
apart in age. We love our Sherri!
Papaw's turn to hold a sleeping Turner. Papaw talked to
him, calling him a little man! Papaw was worried back in
May, when told that he had lung cancer, that he would not
be able to hold Turner. But God had mercy and allowed
this joyous afternoon.
Turner just couldn't stay awake!

Turner had to visit the pediatrician this morning. He has
lost 7 oz., which is not uncommon. But now he weighs less
than 6 lbs. He is so little! He is also jaundiced, so he has to
return to the doctor's office again tomorrow. He must have
a lot of Boone in him because Matt, along with his sister, Jenny
and brother, Adam, were all jaundiced after being born.
He will improve and be just fine with a little time and maybe
some sunshine, or the light blanket!
Turner is wearing the cap that Mamaw knitted just for him!
Sleeping so sweetly! Unfortunately, Turner has his days
and nights confused! Hopefully soon, he will get that figured
out so that Mom and Dad can sleep more at night!

Chloe loves her bone treats! She's a good dog too. So far
she has not been affected very much by Turner's presence!
She's just happy that K & M are finally back home!
All of the guys, four generations! How wonderful!
