I came home from work one
day, and found this scene in the Dining Room. Genny often waits in
hiding for me to come home. I was about 30 minutes late this
day. Wendi and the boys are usually napping when I get home in the
early afternoon. Genny had built a fort under the coffee table and
fell asleep before I walked in. I crept into the room (not knowing
she was out) and yanked the edge of the blanket up while making my best
bear roar, and she barely even stirred. Too good to pass up on the
pictures, I got these and then let her be. She slept there for
another hour and a half. |

Johnny wins happy baby of
the year award. He is about the best natured baby I have ever seen,
he's even smiling when he starts screeching at us sometimes. Some
highlights of the past couple of weeks: He learned to screech for
the sake of screeching (during church, no less), and sticking his tongue
out at people who are willing to return the gesture. Jimmy is not
quite ready to relinquish cute child of the house honors, so he stepped in
the second photo to give it his best shot. No reason they can't stay
tied for handsomeness, right? |

Jason Huff plays with
Johnny, and Kristi Bond smiles for the camera, too. |
 |
Johnny really has developed
an attachment to this colorful dragon. He'll mess with it until it
tires him out to the point of exhaustion, as this photo can attest. |
 |
Grandpa Billington came to
town, and never quite seemed to get enough of the little ones. All
of the children warmed up to Grandpa in a hurry, and Johnny never had any
doubts. Goodnight. |
 |
Story reading is a favorite
pastime in our house, and Grandpa jumped in with both feet. I don't
know what my problem is in this picture, maybe I got left out? |
 |
Genny and Jimmy quickly
discovered how long they could prolong bedtime with Grandpa around to read
stories to them. Jimmy still misses Grandpa terribly and asks where
he is frequently. Truly it was a wonderful time. |
 |
Grandpa and all of his
grandchildren. |
 |
The boys. 'Nuff said. |
 |
The Franks. FJB IV, V
and III, all together for the first time since 1998. |
 |
Genny was not very happy
when Grandpa had to leave either, but that was somewhat tempered by the
extra day we got when the first flight was cancelled. We were all
glad that he got to spend one more night at our house, serious
bonus! Genny loves her Grandpa very much! |

This photo was actually
obtained for use at Farley's
Page, but was too good to leave off of here. Farley's Page has
many references to dad as helping me keep the car running as well as his
being the previous owner, it was high time a picture of him made it onto
that site. |

Parting shot. All of
our precious little ones in a deep sleep on Mommy and Daddy's bed.
When they are truly asleep like this, they look more alike than
ever. Genny looks more like Wendi every day, and when Jimmy saw this
for the first time he thought Genny actually was Wendi. |
