Welcome Cassidy Anne Lehman!

We are so excited to welcome our 10th grandchild into our family! Cassidy Anne was born on Tuesday, October 26 weighing in at 5 pounds 10 ounces. Because her blood sugars were a little low, she is spending some time in the NICU. However, she is doing nicely and should be able to come home the beginning of the week. Josh & Julissa are doing well also and spending as much time with her as they can. Of course they just want to get home with their little precious bundle but when these things happen you just have to accept it.

Here are some pictures. She is absolutely beautiful (so says an unbiased grandparent!).

So sweet!

Happy Mama

Proud Papa

Of course with COVID, there are no visitors allowed so we just have to be patient and wait until they get home to see her in person. However, I did spend some time figuring out how to get her name on my Scrabble board. It took me several hours and I was almost ready to give up, but I finally got it. I'm not sure I'll get another name on it unless it is a really short one :)

A very full board! So thankful for each person in our family!

Welcome Cassidy Anne Lehman! We can't wait to meet you! 

Family Fall Fun Day

We had a peanut and candy scramble for the grandchildren. I didn't get any pictures of the older ones but the little grandchildren collecting their goodies with the help of their parents and siblings was adorable. 

The four little ones were Bryce, Janae, Jake and Baby-In-Utero

Lots of helping hands

We also had plenty of food and after dark a campfire, sparklers, glow sticks and of course a little bit of fireworks! All in all, a very fun day! I love being able to have the family all together and make some good memories.
