Mr. Center of Attention

Yes, Canaan is my (Lucy's) parents' first grandchild. He is also Livia and David's only nephew. I couldn't help but take a picture of this scene. What happened was that Canaan had just taken a bath and I had to run get him a diaper from upstairs. Canaan doesn't like laying on the floor waiting for his diaper and starts to get upset. So, here come Auntie Livi and Gran-Nan to the rescue! Gran-Nan pulled his naked little tooshie onto her lap and Auntie Livi quickly grabbed a book to entertain him in the 30 seconds it took for me to run upstairs and get a new diaper. So, I thought I'd make all their efforts to sooth Mr. Center of Attention (aka. Canaan) a little more worth while by taking more time to take this picture. I just wished all families were as pathetic as we are and doted on their nephews and grandkids like ours does. Canaan won't always be center of attention, especially if Liv and David ever get around to giving him some cousins, but I know for sure that he feels completely loved. And as his parents, we feel so blessed by such a wonderful family.
To all those family members who are far away: we know you love Canaan SO MUCH too! I wish you all could spend as much time with him as Gran-Nan and Auntie Livi!

Auntie Livi

Auntie Livi and Uncle Ud are favorite attractions for Canaan. They love to drop by and play with Canaan. Just the other week, they were driving in from out of town. I asked if they were going to drop by our house on the way home. They said they were thinking about it, but since they weren't going to get in until after nine at night- which meant Canaan would already be in bed- they thought they would just wait until the morning to see us! Now I know where we rate! Here is Canaan with his Auntie Livi, just hanging out and being cute together.
