Graham was complaining that the pictures I posted weren't all recent (some were), so I am posting pix from this week at the Coney! He's not always so eager to have his picture taken. He took the one of me squinting and looking old trying to read the menu without my glasses. Graham also took the one of Keith who was just back from the dentist and had novacaine and had trouble talking.

Susan

Here's another picture of Graham's Mom and Keith's second wife, Susan.

Susan and Graham

Here is a picture of Susan, Graham's Mom, and Graham. It is a scrapbook page I made for Graham to help him remember his Mom.

Because it is such a detail picture, it would be good to click on the picture for a bigger view.

Art by Graham

Graham is very artistic

Graham and Mrs. Lindow

Graham and Mrs. Lindow play the piano at our wedding! What an honor and a treat.

Hugs!

Graham Hugging Sarah (and me int he corning taking the picture). He didn't want to let her go! So nice to have a loving family!

Thumb Wrestling

Here is Graham with his sister Sarah on her wedding day--thumb wrestling! Sarah is coming to visit this weekend and Graham is looking forward to it!

Graham and Mrs. Lindow

Graham is happy here because Mrs. Lindow, his piano teacher, is quizzing him reading musical notation and he is doing very well. He is really lucky to have such an excellent piano teacher.

Graham with Uncle Bud

Here's Graham with Uncle Bud. Uncle Bud is Sandy's partner. He like to hunt and fish. He has a wonderful golden retriever and a big boat. Graham has wonderful opportunities to have experience with Sandy and Bud that he would not have with us. I'm so glad that he has their love and I hope he continues to be able to spend time with them as gets older.

Graham with Aunt Sandy

Too bad he's got his eye's closed!

Aunt Sandy is Susan's Sister. Graham really loves her. I think that's wonderful. I want to support that relationship. I think everyone needs all the love they can get! And he gets to have different experiences with Sandy and Bud than he would have with us.

Another important roll Sandy could play in Graham's life is to help keep Susan alive for him. A child should remember his mother, I think, but I can't help him do that very well, becase I've never met her.
