My two new grandchildren, Clayton Alexander Brown and Adeline Elizabeth Brown. The twins were born on 15 November. Clayton was 6-13 and Adeline was 6-1.

Congrats - beautiful babies and wonderful names. You are blessed to have them and they are blessed to have such a wonderful grandfather.

Last Saturday was the Alabama & Auburn football game, a pretty big deal down here, if you haven't heard. The kid wanted me to cook chili, or Frito chili pie as she refers to it because of the massive amounts of chips and cheese she adds to it. She invited a couple of her special needs friends over for the game. Difficult to tell who they pull for. Even the dog gets in on the act.

I'm enjoying spending time with my 7 grandchildren.

It is wonderful how the little one on your left wants to hold on so tightly. They are so much fun at that age. Great picture.

The one holding on so tight is my 7 year old granddaughter. I have taken care of her since she was born. We have a very special relationship. It was fortunate that she was born the same year that I retired. That allowed me to spend time with her that, unfortunately, I was not able to with the older grandchildren.

This year's Santa photo for Lily. She looks so grown up! (I know, I keep saying that. Where did my baby go?!)

⇧ She does look grown up (or, at least, older). It's fun to see her over the years - thank you for posting. Also, some kids change a lot year to year, she always looks like Lily, just older (and that's a good thing).

She has her own style, doesn't she? For a few years she has been telling me that she wants to be a fashion designer. This year she asked Santa for a sewing machine so she can make her own outfits. Guess what she is getting...... A basic machine, good colored pencils and a nice sketch pad for future clothing collections. Hubby got her a sewing box (with all the things like pins, needles, scissors, etc.), and I got her a stash of fabric. So different from last year's request for My Little Pony things!

You two are fortunate.

Mama-Daughter date this afternoon. Took Lily to see "A Charlie Brown Christmas", & then out for a fancy cupcake. Pink, naturally.

My daughter...she's 16 this year. We're getting her driver's license tomorrow! This is her natural hair - it dries curly like this. Must have gotten it from her dad because it takes a LOT of work for mine to look this way!

My first "selfie".

Ma always told me that I looked like I was blowing bubbles.
So for her birthday today, I made it possible. I know you're watching me.
Hope you like the photo.
I miss & think about you all the time.
Say hi to daddy.
Love,
Joey.

P.S. In way I was getting "prep" for Catholic school.
Those nuns preferred Lifebouy.
I was partial to Palmolive.
More lemony flavor.

Easy to see the family resemblance. You guys both have a great smile. You must be ridiculously proud of her. Good luck on her test tomorrow.

Thank you! She got her license yesterday and today was the first day of driving by herself. She did fantastic. I was a nervous mom waiting at home for her, though. Got so excited when she pulled into the driveway!
