February 7, 2012 And here's another of the newest members of our family: Ms. Kaylin - she's 4 months old in this photo and being held and kissed by my daughter Chenoa. Chenoa is Ashlee's mother - you've all seen lots of photos of Ashlee. I thought this was one of the sweetest photos and wanted to share it with my Smug family and friends. Have a marvelous week!!!!!!!! Linda
February 6, 2012 Today is my birthday........and so I thought one of the best shots to post today is of my granddaughters Ashlee (age 12) and Eleanor (5 months old). Celebrating a birthday is most special when you can spend it with family. We are so blessed to have such a large and wonderful family. I just loved this sweet photo, and it's evident that Ashlee is enjoying one of the newest members of our family. Unfortunately, I'm headed to Birmingham, AL later today, and will miss spending my birthday with my family. Thanks to all of you that posted Bday wishes on Facebook, you guys are the best!!!!! You make my heart sing every day. And, thanks too for all your great comments on little red-headed Cade's photo with his Great Grandpa, and for bringing back the old Daily from last year of the red cars. I was just thrilled with all of them, and they really made me smile. Have a great and blessed day today, my friends!!!!! Linda
February 5, 2012 "Of course, part of the problem with redheads is that there aren't enough of them. They make up just two percent of the population. So they're pretty extraordinary. Redheads are too numerous to be ignored, too rare to be accepted." (Grant McCracken, author, lecturer, anthropologist) This is my handsome and sweet little great nephew Cade Richardson held by his great grandfather Dewey Richardson. I love Cade's bright red hair, and his big & bright personality. At 6 months old, he's such a little charmer. Those fat little cheeks crinkle into smiles all the time & he is a calm & happy baby that is a watcher. He watches the other children, he watches the adults & he is definitely observant of the people around him. He's happy and laughs a lot. Obviously, his Great Grandfather Dewey is so proud of him. This is Dewey's first great grandchild, and my first great nephew. He's going to be a fun member of the "younger" group of kids in our family. As you all may know - between Bill & I we have 9 grandchildren ranging in age from 17 years to 4 months. The most recent additions to our family are granddaughter Eleanor (5 months old) and granddaughter Kaylin (4 months old), so Mr. Cade being the oldest of the "younguns" will grow up with the girls and be best friends. Hope you enjoy this happy shot of Cade and his Great Pa Pa. Bill and I are headed home today to Dallas from the International Safari club show in Las Vegas. I'll have about 24 hours at home to re-pack, then hop on another plane Monday afternoon headed to work (for my real job) in Birmingham, AL for the rest of the week. Linda
