Grandma & Grandpa Snitger wasted no time in making the trip to California to meet their grand daughter. Ed & Jeannie spent the day taking care of Piper (and here we thought they wouldn’t want anything to do with her) and really helping out around the house with cooking and picking up. It’s been a tremendous help to have a few extra hands, thank you both. On top of scrambling to get out here as quickly as possible, they brought a beautiful gift from the Kretchmar family, Piper’s first birthday cake. Thank you so much!
Piper also had her first doctor’s office visit today. The pediatrician is fantastic and is happy with her progress so far. A few more check-ups from the doctor and she should be all set. Tonight begins our second night with her home, hopefully a few more winks of sleep. Seems we gain a little ground each night as she develops her routine.
Dave and Jen,
You all look so great! Jen, were you really pregnant?? Just kidding!
Have a wonderful visit with Granpa and Grandma!
Love,
Aunt Barbie
What a wonderful photo! Congrats to the Snitgers! We are so happy for you all! How did Piper like her first Kretchmar cake?
The pictures of grandma & grandpa Snitger are priceless. How long they have waited for this moment and the smiles and love on your faces say it all. Keep the pictures coming, it almost makes me feel like I’m right there with you.
Love you all,
Judi Flynn
The grins on your faces tell the whole story! Have you put Piper down since you first met her?? 🙂 Have fun and keep the photos and stories coming – we love them all.
Love to all
Dear Piper Grace,
I want to be the first person to e-mail you and welcome you to your family. I know you have become familiar with your Dad and Mom (especially), and now you’ve met Grandma and Grandpa Snitger (they will soon come up with other names for themselves, but, in the end, you will decide what to call them.) On Grandma Snitger’s side, you have yet to meet the "wild and crazy" Bechdel clan, but we hope to remedy that soon. For now, enjoy your company (don’t eat too much cake) and comb your hair (I’m jealous).
Love ya, Little One.
