NaNa arrives in Oakland, CA to
be with the awaiting Runyan family.
Jan 3rd, 2008
This is Tara's belly the day before
Tristan was born. We actually had a chance to go to the movies
that day!
Later that night, Laurel & Olivia arrive in Oakland. Laurel
has a deposition in SF on Friday morning.

Tristan
Bass Runyan enters our world at 9 lbs1 oz!
  
Of
course, Julia had lots of questions like:
To the nurse......."What are you doing here with my brother?"
And to Tara......."What is that Mommy?"
 
Marc
is delighted that Mommy & his new son are healthy & happy.
The family is now a foursome.

While
Tara & Marc were at the hospital, and Laurel was in court,
NaNa was seriously challenged taking care of these two active
young granddaughters!
Especially,
as Oakland was experiencing the "storm of the decade"
and we lost electricity most of the day.
 
Julia
shows us how she can get dressed all by herself.

Before Tristan came home, Julia entertained Laurel, Olivia &
I with her antics.
    
Late afternoon, Tristan comes home and already he's attached himself
to Mom with a good, strong grip!
Julia
gets a delivery...for a new "Big Sister"..a wonderful
fresh fruit bouquet with a soft bear on top!
It's a gift from Tara's boss Steve & Judy Kazan.
 
Over
the next week, everybody loves to hold a newborn.

One
day I went to Gymnastics class with Julia & Tara. What a busy
place that was!
 
 
Tristan loves his swing and it gives Mommy a nice break, too.

He
wasn't too sure whether he liked taking his first bath..........But
Julia sure loves it!

This picture of Tristan makes him look llike such a big boy already!
But he's only 2 weeks old here.
Julia takes a breather with her "burpee".

Jan & Steve invited us over for a delicious dinner.
They enjoyed playing with Julia and holding Tristan.
GrandMommy shows Julia how the Leap Pad stories work.
GrandDaddy Steve worked for Fisher Price back in the 70's and
helped design these "Talk-to-Me" Books.
He's kept them in his attic all these years and they still work!

Tristan takes many trips out with us.
Julia loves being a big sister.
Jan. 27, 2008
Friends from Sacramento, Alex & Ashley and their 2 daughters,
Eva & Lily came to visit.
Everybody colored and then Eva & Julia dressed up as pretty
fairies.
Jan 31, 2008
Well, it's been raining pretty much most of the whole month of
January so Julia was thrilled
when Mommy got her a bigger raincoat & a ladybug umbrella!
NaNa says:
"Rain, rain go away
Come again some other day" |
