And, TAH DAH! Here is Aurora, surprised to find herself balanced and standing up, all by herself! We clapped and cheered, which of course made her fall down...

Baby Time
Aurora's Aunt Lizzie wasn't the only one who fell under her spell. In fact, I was lucky to get a chance to cuddle her at all, what with also having her Grandpa, Uncle Jim and Aunt Sheena around. Sigh.

Nephew's Wedding and Family Gathering
Last weekend was the wedding of nephew Ian and his bride, Karin. Scroll back through the messages here and you'll see the quilt I made for them. All in blues. Very pretty!
We were having a heat wave, and although August 1st wasn't THE hottest day (that had been a few days earlier, with a temperature of 106 degrees), it was still very hot. In the 90's. The wedding was outside in a garden, but there wasn't any shade. It was pretty miserable for the guests, just imagine if you had to wear a tuxedo--or a wedding dress! Still, they looked delighted, don't they? Perhaps because they were finally married and heading toward the shade!
While the toasts were being made, Ian was making goofy faces. Rolling his eyes, bugging them out... I don't know why, maybe he was self conscious with us all looking at him. I was relieved when they finished that and went to the dance floor. At least until I saw Ian dance. He is a goofy dancer too! He looks all right in the still photos, though.
Here is Ian, dancing with his lovely wife...and then with his very happy mother, Pam, who has been wishing for a daughter for a long time!
Great-aunt Betty visited from New York for this occasion. Here she is with sister-inlaw Sue, and with Aurora.

Where has summer gone?
Here it is, August already! Summer has really flown by. First there was the trip to Spokane, then as soon as we got home...and I got the laundry caught up, off I went to Salt Lake City, to babysit granddaughter Aurora, while her sweet Mama was off on a cruise--with her little brother. Poor Jeff didn't get to go. However, he and Frieda are going cruisin' for their anniversary (and guess who gets to babysit again? WHEEEE!) Here are some photos from the Utah trip:
Aurora is a very happy and agreeable baby, and we got along quite well, except when she tried out her new teeth on me. OUCH!
Even though we had fun, Aurora was thrilled when Mama got home! It was pretty cute, how excited she got. Like, "oh yes, THERE YOU ARE!"
I can understand that...I missed her Mama too!
