Grandpa meets Ruby Alice face-to-face

OK, you can go ahead and say it...she's the cutest darned baby! How could she not be? She's got a couple of very cute parents, and of course the cutest Grandpa.



Courtney headed south to Berkeley to check her out in person. To make sure she was as adorable as her dad (Jer, aka Spudde) says she is. And sure enough, the rumors were true!




Of course Courtney fell madly in love right away. Before he knew it he'd volunteered to take care of Ruby while Jer and Pamela went out for a much-deserved new-parent break together. Off they went to the beach, to run the dogs, without their little bundle of love to distract them.
Everyone survived, even Grandpa.





Ruby is definitely a baby girl who won't lack for love and attention. Looks like she's already got a fully-entertaining and engaged life.




And a great connection with her dad. There's no shots here of Pamela and Ruby because they all contained more breasts-full-of-milk exposure than Pamela may feel comfortable showing our blog readers, but suffice to say, she and Ruby are connected--literally and lovingly.





And hereeeeeeee's Grandpa! Doing his let's-take-a-nap thing very well.




I see more trips to Berkeley in the future. And hopefully the Berkeley family will make it north to see us while Ruby is still in that easy-to-contain stage.




And here's another reason for Courtney to travel to CA. Kentaro is the son of his nephew Kevin and his wife Emi, so he is the grandson of Courtney's brother Steve. They live is San Mateo, and this was the first time that Courtney got to meet Kentaro, who unfortunately had a bad cold, and so the two of them didn't spend any cozy time together. But at least they got to meet and check each other out. That's a start.

And Courtney got to see his San Mateo family which includes Steve's other son Matt and his girlfriend Melissa. The three generations all live in the same house ( a very cool thing, in my opinion).

Courtney was gone for a week altogether, which included a trip that he and Steve took down to Morro Bay and Arroyo Grande to see their dad's wife Kay and then stay the night with their sister Nancy. Being a home boy, this was alot of traveling for Courtney, but as you can imagine, well worth it. He's got lots of heart connections down there in CA, not to mention friends in Monterey, but that's another story.

Meanwhile, here on the home front, there's BIG changes, but that's another story too.

Stay tuned, for more....and happy springtime, and thanks for reading this,
