Heeeere's Ashlyn!!

As Grandpa Tony said......."heeeere's Ashlyn!" We received this picture this morning from Grandpa. Just like her Daddy, she has lots of hair, only Greg's was blond. She looks like a precious bundle.

By the way, we have a length now - 21 3/4 inches.

Welcome to the world and to the family, Ashlyn !

"Great"-grandparents

A call from Grandpa Tony this morning informed us that Ashlyn Leigh Hardwick was born at 9:28 a.m. today, August 15, 2008, to Gregory and Jennifer Hardwick at Midwest City Hospital, Oklahoma. Ashlyn was born by c-section and weighed in at 9# 4 oz. !!!! Following in Hardwick style...Thomas was a 9 pounder, Chris was too, don't remember Greg's birth weight, and William was a 9 pounder too.

Congratulations to Greg and Jennifer!! When we get a picture, we will post showing you all our first great-grandchild!!!

Family Night

Last night we got together at Scott & Jenn's. Chris & the kids came. Heather was in Cedar Rapids helping a friend. It was a fun time. The kids played great together. We were able to be outside. The skeeters stayed away. Pizza was good. It was very enjoyable to watch our five grandchildren be together and to play with their aunt and uncles and each other. Here's some pictures. Riley and Shelby each helped take some of the pictures.

Riley reminded me last night that I HAD NOT posted HER "date" pictures..... so to right this oversite, here are the pictures from Riley's date with Grammie. We went to Paint n' Fun, but she had some different items on her agenda. We went to several stores and had lunch at the mall. She came home with several music cds to share with Shelby and some Hannah Montana stuff. Riley is growing up so FAST !!!
