Meeting Rosa (May 4)

Recently, we drove down from Kentucky and Al's parents drove up from Mississippi to Al's sister's house in Jackson, TN. We had a great visit. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to meet Mamaw & Daddo's new pet chihuahua, Rosa. As you can tell by the expression on Luke's face, he was very happy to meet her. Luke was the first child that Rosa had ever met. (Rosa is only a few weeks old.) Thankfully, Luke liked Rosa and Rosa liked Luke. I think Luke was excited to have a real dog that he could actually pick-up and hold. Luke was crazy about Rosa and she quickly became his favorite "toy." After a lot of interaction, Mamaw told Luke that Rosa was tired and that she needed to take a nap in her bed. So, the next thing we saw was Luke sitting in Rosa's bed holding Rosa. We asked Luke what he was doing and he said he was helping Rosa go to sleep. It was a very cute moment. Of course, I was a little slow in getting my camera and the moment was over. This picture was taken after the dog decided that naptime was over.

When John David woke up from his nap, he got to meet Rosa. He had no fear and was very curious of Rosa. We found out that Rosa is great with kids and was very patient with the Chandler boys!!

Watch out, Rosa! You won't be the baby for long. Joelen & Pokie are expecting a baby in November. As you can see, Mamaw is very proud of her babies! Mamaw is holding a recent ultrasound picture of the new baby!
