Brent ordained as a Teacher

It is truly hard to believe that Brent turned 14 on Apr. 25th. He is as tall as me now and is only about an inch away from passing up his Dad. Crazy! Thought it'd be fun to post a few pictures of him on that special day. 5 year old McKell actually took these pictures all by herself. She did a good job....everybody has heads!

Our Newest Grandson, Parker Reid Dorff

Well, I haven't updated my blog in forever and even seriously considered shutting it down but my daughter has persuaded me to keep it by threatening to take me out of her "favorites" so I decided not to lose my status and try again, LOL!! For other reasons, I am glad I hadn't acted on my thoughts because I want to share the details on our newest grandchild, Parker. Parker was born to Mark and Christy on May 8th. Ironically, Christy's college graduation was the same day but obviously she didn't make that event. But it was wonderful timing otherwise, because Ken, Brent and I could be in town for his birth. Christy used a midwife and delivered Parker at home, yes, in her own bed! All I can say is, wow....she's got guts! But the birth went perfectly and we were able to see and hold the baby very shortly following his birth. He weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He has a head full of dark hair and large hands and feet. He seemed very calm and had some wakeful times where he just seemed so mellow. He is a beautiful baby and we are so excited to have him join the family and especially carry on the Dorff surname. He is the first great grandchild to do so. Now for some pics...
