Not just any grandfather can go by the name of “Icky”. But Parker and Bailey’s Icky is not just any grandfather!
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, John! We hate that you have to be so far away this year, but we can’t WAIT for our visit! Leipzig, watch out…we’re heading your way soon!
…the FIVE YEAR OLD!
Watch out, ladies…
Happy birthday, my most-favorite Parker boy! Your five years have brought me so much preciousness and joy. I can’t imagine what more is to come!
xoxo times infinity.
He IS precious! Happy Birthday to Parker 
.
Never knew that I could love my grandchildren as much and as unconditionally as I love my children, but I DO!!! Thank you for letting me share the special birthday dinner with you, my precious Parker. I hope you never get old enough not to be my “favorite boyfriend”. I can’t wait to see you on Friday! We’re going to have a great sleepover!
I love you more each day,
Granbob
It’s Alyvia!!
*grin*
It is pretty safe to say that I LOVE BABIES.
Um, a whole lot.
The sweetest of dreams…just makes me melt!
“You wanna knuckle sandwich?!?”
Snug as a bug in a… stocking.
It wil be a merry Christmas, indeed!
How cute is Miss Alyvia?? I was delighted to hear that Lauren and Chris welcomed their perfect little one into the world a couple of weeks ago. I just couldn’t wait to meet her! Well, Wednesday was the day, and Alyvia did not disappoint. She simply could not have been a more cooperative, laid back baby. She dozed peacefully, and would occasionally open those deep blue eyes to take a peek around…before settling right back into a contented snooze.
Lauren and Chris, I know you are enjoying every moment. Thank you for allowing me to share in a few of them!

That FACE… So precious!!
sweet photos. LLLLLURVE the stocking one. merry christmas indeed. and LOVE the way Alyvia’s name is spelled!!
What a darling! Love that second shot, but they are all precious!
Delighted to see the next generation so tenderly recorded!
Alyvia (look Maw! I spelled it right this time!)will likely be the most cherished child I’ve ever known.
Love to all three
Alice
These are beautiful. I LOVE the chair shot and the stocking one too!
So glad to have Denise in the “Grandmother’s Worship their Granbabies” club…she is just precious and I can’t wait to meet her in person. Janica said that she is just perfection!
I love the pictures, Janica…you just get better and better!

[...] Welcome back, Douglas family! It seems like we JUST took Lauren’s last round of maternity pictures, and that sweet Alyvia should still be this size. [...]

Oh, makes me wish that I was far away on a birthday to get such a special “happy birthday” song! We all miss you Icky! Sure hope that you are having a good trip and that we can see you soon! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Love you,
Barbara
Dear Janica: This was the best birthday present imaginable. Gather those two precious children in your arms, hug them and kiss them, and tell them that Icky misses them so very much.
Dear Parker and Bailey,
You made the birthday boy–aka Icky, aka Herr Professor Boles–very happy. That sweet serenade made his day–mine too. It was his best present. Thank you , sweet Parker and sweet Bailey. You sing wonderfully well–it was just beautiful. And since your kind mommy put it on the blog, we can enjoy it over and over again.
We love you and miss you. Don’t forget us. We’ll see you in 8 night times for a little visit.
Love, nana
