GG and Grumps Arrive

I waited all day for this?!? Seriously!

They might have been 2 hours late, but they did show up. We started to wonder if they'd gotten on the wrong plane and ended up in Nicaragua (we wouldn't put it past them). GG left Grumps to fiend for himself. When she finally got to us, she said that he was too slow and she just left him in Miami. Also not below her. Anyway, they've just doted and loved on Gabi all day. They think she's about the coolest kid around.

GG and Grumps in Gabi Heaven


A couple of pictures from today. Sorry, we didn't have the camera out much.
Mmm... pants... delicious!
Grumps is funny-looking, but he sure likes me.

Oh my gosh Sandra I think I can touch your happiness in these pics today. I went to Fairview to get some things for the house and din't get home till 10, but came immediately to see your pics. They are fab and I am so happy for you all.How many clothes does she have? There are 4 gajillion pics on this site and I haven't seen her in the same outfit yet.Wait till she is our age and she can only wear 5 things period and that's on a good day.You and Grumps have a great time with your granddaughter. I promise it will be a lot more fun than a grandhorse.

Well, today I really cried. Sandra looks like she is in heaven!How long she has waited to see this child - even in the pics with Dennis holding her she is grinning from ear to ear. Will she ever come back to MV until that baby comes too?! Does Gabriella FEEL how much she is loved? Bet Dennis is walking on air too. I swear to my time - she's so beautiful! (Gabby, not Sandra). Thanks for sharing - itmeans so much. Love, Nat

I agree with Nat, I couldn't help but to shed a tear also. I can't wait for Gabi to get to know my "Fav" and her silly ways. She is just gonna love her. I am so happy that GG and Grumps are there and finally get to hold that sweet baby. Mandy, I hope she doesn't drive you crazy with, "Did you see how much Gabi loved me?", stuff. Have fun, love to you all, and more pics with GG and Grumps, please.

Whenever I feel the need to smile, I can always rely on pictures of Gorgeous Gabriella to do the trick. Thanks again for sharing the details of your incredible journey. I feel so blessed to have you guys in my life.

Be sure to let me know what size clothes Gabi is wearing these days so I can get her some glorious Michigan gear. Hey, I only want the best for your daughter. ;)

Love, Uncle Mark

it kills me to say this, but i think the picture of grandpa grumps holding gabi (in her diaper only) is the most precious one of all! there's GG, grinning like a goat eating briars,(as my dad would say) in the background, and gabi looking like a pure angel in her grumpy's hands! she must feel like she's got love oozing out of every pore!! savor every second!
