Announcing Baby Bork

Rhoda and Lee gave us such a wonderful Christmas present today. They announced they are expecting our 11th, grandchild due late June 2018.
Of course we needed to include this new little one on the Sceggel Grandchildren pictures.


When Rhoda was telling Taegan about the baby in her tummy, she showed her a picture of the sonagram. Taegan looked at that picture and asked, "are you sure that's not a puppy?"  "that looks like a puppy."  Rhoda was quick to assure her, "No, this is a human baby."
We had another wonderful day here in Gulf Shores. Christmas morning dawned with a beautiful sunrise but a cold wind blowing down from the North flattening out all the waves and for sure cooling down the temperatures.
At 10:00 am a bunch of us met in mom's condo to listen on line for church.  We got to hear Rick Kaisner on Sunday and today for Christmas got to listen to Mike Kaisner. Below Joan, Sarah, Hannah and Bethany are busy taking the braids out of Berlica's hair while listening.
After church Joan's family and Brian & Rebekah's family came over to swim in the indoor as it was still cold outside.
 



 The cold didn't stop the fishers. Greg pulled up this batwing ray. Braelyn and Taegan were brave enough to put it back in the water thus saving it's life.

 It was too windy for volley ball but by the afternoon perfect for football on the beach. I got lots of great action shots. The game went on for hours, no one wanted to quit.

 Addyson and Braelyn were the only ones brave enough to swim in the Gulf, they actually stayed out in the water a long time IN their clothes.

Jack was so exhausted he fell asleep out on the balcony.
 This evening baby Abe was keeping himself occupied by twanging the door stop over and over.
We had the grandchildren open presents before supper as we were waiting for Rhoda to come.



Her plane came in at 6:15 pm in Pensacola, Florida. Mike and Diane were kind enough to pick her up while I cooked the prime rib Christmas dinner.
We visited for a long time after dinner so I am late getting this blog up and written, but what a wonderful day.
