Our Beautiful Beach Babies!!!

Our girls finally came home!

Not sure who was happier to see them, Pop Pop or Eli!

Still missing his girls.............

God love him, he is really missing Aubrey and Lainey!!!! He has made their room his new home.

Guarding the doorway

Eli's "tic"...when he gets nervous he has this habit of rubbing his face with his paw!

I tried to convince him that they would be back tomorrow, but he still had this look of  loneliness.

Missing our girls............

Krisha and the girls are at the beach this week and it has really, really been lonely without them. Even Eli has been missing them too. I found him yesterday morning lying at the door of Aubrey and Lainey's

room looking so sad.......

I also caught him lying on Aubrey's bed today, and that is something he does not do. He knows to leave their toys alone, just as they know that his are off limits to them. I think he was missing them so much he just wanted to be near their things.

 I probably will not tell them. Because if I do, Lainey will be upset that he didn't get on her bed too. It is a fact, if you do for one - you do the same for the other.

However, it is two more days before they will be back...... I may go in their room today or tomorrow to find him on Lainey's bed, or even having a tea party with all their dolls, bears, and puppy dogs while they are gone!

We hope they are having a wonderful time, and from my conversations with Krisha they are having a blast, but we are ready for them to come home!!!!

Below are a few more pictures of the girls taken recently by Kim Lawson. She is so patient with Aubrey and Lainey, and the portraits always capture their personalities.

And, we  miss Krisha too.

July 4th fun......

 (Yes, this pool is too small now, but they love getting in it)

 (No, we haven't slipped in a new grandchild. Well, we sorta have, this is John Asher. He belongs to Kyle and Martha Newman. Krisha says he is the closest thing to a grandson we are gonna get!)

 (Doesn't Pop Pop look so natural!!!)

(last year's July 4th photo, can't believe how much they have grown!)
