adoring fans

Ivan and Dominique enjoyed watching grandpa Ray and daddy mow the lawn. They set up their chairs in front of the door.

Dominique and Ivan love to look at videos with grandpa on his computer. Here they were watching the news about the hurricane.


I found the boys like this one morning and thought they looked so sweet just waking up to the morning all quietly snuggled up in the corner chair.
We had some rain the day or so before grandpa arrived. Here is what it did to our street (there is no drainage system on the north side of town- they designed the streets to be the drainage. It all flows north to our water source. Good for the lake, bad for cars.)

Ivan and my conversation yesterday with his question of the day...

I started the conversation with this question, (essential element removed by author)"So Ivan, what do you think about us naming our baby ----------------- -------------- Baggett?"
"yeah, that would be ok" Ivan replied mildly enthused.
Silence.
Then he piped in most excitedly:" OR should we call the baby Mator Dude?"
Laughter "you mean from the movie cars?"
"yeah", pure delight danced and spiraled in his eyes.
"you are now officially kicked off the naming committee Ivan"
He was unphased by this set back, dreaming of his darling baby sister named Mator Dude.

It sounds like Ivan has quite the imagination. I have a name suggestion too: "Most beautiful baby in the entire world" . . . oops, I think I just got the "you are now officially kicked off the naming committee Ian" message. Oh well, I'm at least in good company with Ivan.

I don't know, Mator Dude has a unique ring to it!

Mator Dude? Ivan back to the drawing table of names.
