Nana and Brody


We spent Saturday evening with Matt, Jaclyn and Brody. He was having a good time with his new play gym - enjoying the lights and he loves his swing. Here is some good quality Nana time. Love it.

Peaceful Brody



Brody Michael is sleeping peacefully last Saturday. It was hard to leave him sleeping but I was strong and didn't pick him up. But last night, I got to hold him for a while. He is a real "snuggler".

Sometimes you see the strangest things!!



We saw elephants when we were coming back from lunch today. There were four of them on the corner of Benton and St. Louis. They were being brushed and bathed. You never know what you might see in Springfield. What a town!!!

Nana, Papa Ken and Brody


I got in trouble for not posting a picture of Brody with his Nana and Papa Ken so here it is.

Brody, Dad (Matt) and Papa Ken


Proud Dad (Matt) and Papa Ken with Brody.

Brody Michael has arrived!!!!


We welcomed Brody Michael Boatright into the world yesterday at 11:33 am. We got the call at 3:00 am yesterday morning that Matt & Jaclyn were at the hospital. Jaclyn did a great job and Matt was there by her side the whole time. Brody weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz and is 21 inches long. He has a patch of black hair. He also has very well developed lungs and when he gets mad you know it. He is adorable (we aren't the least bit proud). We got to hold him a few minutes after he was born.

Spring


Well, there are signs that Spring is on its way. I took a walk Monday during lunch - it was so warm and nice. Along the way I saw signs of spring with flowers such as this one. I love this time of year - everything starts to bloom and there is color everywhere after the bland colors of winter. Spring - Yeah!!!!!

Bailey's Birthday



Today is Bailey's birthday. She is 2 years old. It is hard to believe she has been with us for 2 years - she has become such an important part of our lives. Like any dog or human, she has her faults but the joy she brings us is so much greater. She loves to play with humans and other dogs and she loves everyone. Happy Birthday Bailey!!!
