Our Beckham

Is this not the sweetest face? A true look of innocence.

I enjoy his sense of fun and adventure.
I think it's cute the way he spends most of his time 'undressed'
He can pretend play like no other. He's a very cute tiger and a pretty convincing dinosaur.
He gives the best hugs. He'll take your face in his hands when he's talking or he's going to kiss you-it's precious.
He is social and likes just about anyone.
You never, and I mean never lose sight of him.
He's athletic, and can ride a scooter faster that any other two year old...I'm sure of it!
He also...
--has been known to flood an entire bathroom. Just let me say that you don't have toliet paper laying around for Becks to find
--is fast...and an experienced escape artist
--has no sense of fear
--is so cute, that whatever he does...we just laugh

We love this boy, and his wild ways.
He's infamous...let me quote a few that know him.

Grammy: "Gracey let's go find your brother, he terrifies me"
Gracey: "He terrifies me too!"

Linny: "Beckham doesn't bite any more, does he."

Rob: "People use to think I was making this stuff up about him, but now they're the ones telling the stories."

Felicity: "Let's go find your brother"
Gracey: "Why can't he just stay in the house?"
Felicity: "That's a good question..."

...and we wouldn't change a thing about him!

Berlin: AKA: Linny or Lou

Berlin Nichole Johnson - Grandbaby #3...yep, she's cute.

So this isn't a fluke...I really am going to keep the blog updated. Nothing like the grandbabies to motivate the Grammy. Notice I didn't say Papa...Steve asked me the other day if we had a blog! Who can blame him-I had almost forgot myself!

This is our Linny-she's funny, sweet, thoughtful and loves chocolate.

Let me illustrate:

I keep chocolate in my spa room for clients justforyoumobilespa.blogspot.com. Linny knows this and when she comes over-sometime before she leaves she will tell me "I'm going upstairs" That's code for: I'm going to get some chocolate. I generally have Dove-dark & milk (just in case you wondered). So on this day she goes up to the room-and there was Hershey only...she asks me what the wrapper says...she's obviously suspicious. She proceeds to eat about half, and then tells me she wants the ones in the blue wrapper (Dove). So I will add smart to the list of what Linny is.

Sweet, thoughtful, smart...and loves chocolate are just a few ways to describe this delightful little girl.

Little piece of heaven

My weeks are happier because my children keep
me up to date on some of of their day-to-day
lives-- via their own blogs.
Let me say that my family probably gave up any hope of me keeping this blog going. I do realize it's been over 2 years since my last post (audible gasp), but here I am resurrecting it...and with this face!
Eliot has just spent the last 9 days with us and will be going home tomorrow :(
One of my favorite things about this little 'determinator' are those soft, soul-full brown eyes of his. Behind them is one smart cookie!
This little man is madly in love with his Mom (who can blame him?), laughs the deepest while playing with his Dad (how many Dad's can go down a children's slide with such skill?), is gentle with animals, and gives the sweetest kisses...and so much more. Thank you Andrew & Erinn for bringing this little piece of heaven to us.
