Fascination of a newborn

Lilly and her family

Lots of fun and excitement in the Adams household.  The television station KCRA 3 reported: "The Carr Fire, which sparked July 23 in Whiskeytown near Highway 299, had charred 176,069 acres and was 50 percent contained, as of Wednesday evening. (August 8)"  Nate, Kelsi, her mother and the two boys came to our home because the air quality was so bad at their home and they feared to bring a newborn into air she could not breath well. It was so fun to have the boys back again. They asked for pancakes or waffles every morning, I just added a bowl of fruit.  
Nate was restless as he waited because he could not go to work. He was so good to take the boys on outings and play endless card games with them. Dani Betridge, Kelsi's mom was fun to be around and worked on her school work a lot. She is into family history and showed us a 15 generation spreadsheet that was very interesting. She had the boys in her room at night and kept them entertained in the morning so they wouldn't wake the rest of the household.  That whole family can play a great game of Skipbo. 
But the highlight of the week was the birth of Lilly.

Kelsi and Lilly

I did get very tired of cleaning up, making meals, doing laundry, and shopping. So worth it to hold my newest granddaughter. There is really something spiritual, healing, and fulfilling when holding and taking care of a newborn. I had the privilege to care for her on two nights so mama and papa could get some deep sleep. I'd just bring her in to be nursed. Kelsi is such a devoted great mom. I love watching her. Life is good
