Our Trip to Indianapolis, IN June 2008

Gavin Arthur Christensen

Born May 27, 2008 to Jason and Julie

7# 3oz 19 1/2 inches

Named after my father, Great Grandpa Arthur

With the double Christensen name in our family Gavin ends up with both Great Grandpa's names!!!

What a Miracle!!

Besta bought Gavin a new hat but the size was not quite right!
Fortunately he is growing fast! ( :

Gavin still wore his hat for an outdoor feeding!

2 weeks old

A nap with Daddy!

Elliot caused a lot of trouble when Olivia was born but he seems content with his new male sibling this time!!

Look at those blue eyes!!!!

The new family!!

Gavin loves his new Dino outfit from Aunt Jaki!

A perfect fit!!

Gavin loves the red spots on his sock monkey quilt that Besta made for him!

That is obvious! ha!

Olivia loved the bows and all the gifts she received!

A special thank you to all of you that remembered her!

How thoughtful of you!!

Besta and Gavin

Mommy's helper!

Olivia spends a lot of time caring for her baby.

It is amazing how many poopie diapers her baby has. And she does a great job of changing her!

Olivia and Gavin with Bestefar!

Time for a burp!!

I wonder what those two are thinking!!!??

Such admiration!

What a great Father's Day with a new Son!

A big stretch!

I will learn to smile soon so you can see my dimples!!

Time to make a grocery list!

Besta made Olivia's baby a quilt from the scraps from Gavin's quilt.

It comes in very handy for tummy time!!

Elmo likes the quilt also!

Jason got a new golf club for his early birthday celebration!

Olivia and Bestefar had fun doing tricks!!

Karen has an awesome new haircut!!

Olivia loved "teacher" Karen reading her a book!!

More books Karen!!?? Peeze!!

Nap time for Bestefar and Gavin!

Bestefar gave Olivia a new lawn chair.

Besta and Oliva went shopping for new crocs.

What fun!!

There is nothing like a newborn Grandbaby to cuddle and love!!!!

They are awesome even when they are crying!!

What a boy!!

Gavin on his Sock Monkey Quilt with his Original Sock Monkey at his side!

Aunt Jaki picked up the Original Sock Monkey for us in Rockford. He came with a birth certificate and he is named "Casey David". He must be named after Gavin's Uncle David! ( :

Rockford is the home of the Original Rockford Socks and Sock Monkey. They have a museum and gift store there.

Thank you Jaki!!

We are back home in Seattle! We had a wonderful time in Indiana and will miss these little ones a lot. We are so blessed that we could spend this time with them and look forward to our next visit! We are very lucky to be able to keep in touch with today's technology!!

Grandchildren are a Blessing!

Thank you Jason and Julie for giving us these beautiful Grandchildren!

Love to all of you! Bestemor and Bestefar!
