We had my friend take some pictures of Dean last night. We still need to edit them, but we had to show him off. He is just learning to sit up, so you see Daddy in the picture to catch him when he falls.

These are Mike's Grandparents, Rose and Dean Eames. Mike became very close to them around the age of twelve when he started mowing their lawn every week. When winter came he shoveled their driveway. He spent many hours through the years taking care of them and the yard. Every time MIke would finish Grandpa would say, "Momma, give Mikey some money for ice cream," even though Grandma had already given him some ice cream. When Grandpa died in '96 Mike decided he was going to name his first son Dean after his Grandpa.



This is Grandpa Dean in his younger years. Doesn't he look a little bit like Mike?

This is Dean's first visit to see Grandma and Grandpa Eames.
