NavyMom said at 10:25 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: someone has to be up bright and early to plan the fun.
Pkeener said at 10:27 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: You got it Shirl! And we had SO much fun!! His natural clock is 2 time zones earlier than Grandmas!
Lifequest22 said at 10:28 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: Grammie--are you're eyes open wide do to the shock of the early hour. Carter looks quite content to be up early and ready to have breakfast. LOL
Leftofcenter said at 10:31 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: I just love this pic. we've all been there, no laptop cam back in my days. it's so spontaneous and you can tell the little dude is used to this IMAC-thingy, even though he's probably just waiting for breakfast, a bit grumpy, but "oh there goes grandma again with her photos..." A FAVE (but you knew that)
Pkeener said at 10:31 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: It was still DARK out!!
LOL needless to say, Grammie brewed a huge pot of coffee and mustered up for a full day of fun and kisses and hugs and playing with his Mamas old toys and singing songs, and reading books and ice cream and Ball at the park! and that was just the morning! :))
Pkeener said at 10:34 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: Leftie, Desktop cam! and he was busy eating his nannas and O's! and I was so busy, I think i took under 20 photos of him the whole time!
Leftofcenter said at 10:35 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: nannas and o's, omg she's tokkin little dude lingo... :)
Pkeener said at 10:38 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: Yes, its amazing how fast i slip into lil dude lingo. it seems to make so much sense at the time!
Chilla said at 10:46 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: This picture really tells the story Pam! Priceless!!
Wildthing said at 10:53 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: A terrific shot, PK. Maybe it's the blue, but I can't help but imagine that you are watching TV in the semi-darkness... The Shining, or perhaps Roger Rabbit:) And Carter can't wait for his legs to grow long enough so that he can use the foot rest on his highchair.
Pattymaryclare said at 11:01 a.m. on Sep 20, 2009: Hilarious Pam and great concept and set-up too! The blue face and your expression got me laffing too. Hey Carter LUV THE SIPPY CUP ....how many times do you knock it on floor so Grammie has to pick it up again?! lol haha! LUV IT! these priceless memories for you forever. xo Patty

Pkeener said at 1:19 p.m. on Sep 20, 2009: thanks guys! love your comments and empathy! I was actually trying to take the photo of Carter eating his breakfast to send to Amy and I had myself in the shot to test the light. My expression says it all! Resigned and bemused at the situation.
Fabio, great comment! Loose English welcome, here!

Eduardo.affonso said at 6:24 a.m. on Sep 21, 2009: Terrific shot, Grammie! See the bright side: it could be worse - he could be raised in Japan...
Appropos said at 7:32 a.m. on Sep 21, 2009: nice expression on your face and the little guy peeking in the background ...cool stuff
OscarDaniel said at 7:37 a.m. on Sep 21, 2009: Great photo Pam!
PhotoPop said at 8:15 a.m. on Sep 21, 2009: OH, what BIG eyes you have grandma. The better to find the the door so I don't bump into it, Little Max. I mean Little Carter. God this sooooooo early. I really like the dichotomy of this picture from almost B/W to color. Representing the state of alertness between the two of you.
Sydney.michelette said at 8:18 a.m. on Sep 21, 2009: Daddy went fishing, Mommy stayed home sleeping and Grandma and Carter will having a lot of funny days! Nothing bad!It seems grandma will fun more than everybody! Great pic Pam. Kisses.

Siagian said at 2:21 p.m. on Sep 21, 2009: LOL! you're the cool and hip gramma we all wish we had!
Pkeener said at 3:25 p.m. on Sep 21, 2009: Woody..feeling not so cool nor hip that early, but my hip sure worked to prop him on!
Sydney, you are so right. I had the best time, ever
Thank you all for the warm and funny comments. I sure enjoyed every minute of Carter's visit, even the pre dawn breakfst calls. Being a grandma is the best.
Thank you Oscar and Farid, Edu, I can't even count the time zones to Japan! Michelle, sharing Carter with you is one of my most joyfilled activities.
John, my little Max is a sweetie! and I need more coffe to comprehend your comment of Big Words! ;)) I have been operating on grunts, giggles, 'Uh Ooohs" and kisses!
Jesusgoz said at 3:48 p.m. on Sep 21, 2009: Muy bien hecho. Ja.
Abking said at 9:16 p.m. on Sep 21, 2009: Well worth being up early for! And there's a nap in your future.
GeorgePL said at 10:01 p.m. on Sep 21, 2009: This is a great photo. I bet parents, and grandparents, everywhere relate to it. The grain and blue tone add to the haziness. I can feel it through my computer.
Pkeener said at 9:59 a.m. on Sep 22, 2009: thank you george! Allan, the nap came around 11:am, which seemed like 5 pm to Grandma. Jesus, thank you!
