Birthdays, Boys, and BFFs

A few years ago, Nancy and I wondered if grandbabies were in our future, but  Shelby May Conway arrived on August 17, 2008.   Her birthday pictures show how she's grown from a baby to a toddler, to a young lady.

Shelby's first birthday... and her first taste of frosting. She wasn't too sure she liked it.

By her second birthday, she had sprouted some hair, and figured out that cupcakes are tasty.

Very grown up at 3, Shelby now has long golden tresses...

 
... and knows how to blow out the candles on her birthday cake..

Welcome, Paige Jewel Conway!

Nancy and I flew to Seattle a few days before Brooke was due to bless us with grandbaby #3.  That gave us time to learn Shelby's schedule before her mom and dad left for the hospital.  Brooke and Shelby are so close that I was concerned how Shelby would handle a 3 day separation.
