about a month ago, Samantha stayed the weekend at our house while her daddy was working in California. We got her all dressed up for church. Tights, shiney shoes with bows, pretty dress and a matching sweater. She was adorable! She did so well in Sacrament meeting and even sang when we sang. Brian helped out in nursery with her and took her for a walk in the halls while we had lesson, because she didn't want to sit for that long. He said she walked in the halls with her arms folded and being reverent. It was so cute when they came back into the nursery. She still had her arms folded. She is such a light in my Thursdays. I enjoy spending time with all the grandkids, but we see her the most and Thursday is our day to spend together. It is a bonus when grandpa is off work for a thursday and she gets to see both of us.

Grandpa looks so proud of his new grandson! He looks so small in his arms. We love being grandparents. The blessings are beyond measure! Heavenly Fathers loves us so much to have blessed us with such wonderful grandkids and their parents aren't half bad either! :)

Dakoda James Johnstone was born this morning at 11:33 am. 7 lbs and 20 1/2 inches long. We got to see him about 1 1/2 hours later. He had been nursing almost the whole time before we saw him. His big sister, Taylor, got to hold him pretty soon after he was born. What a sweet gift from heaven.
