I have posted several pictures of my granddaughter Sophia who lives across the Bay from me.

Here are a couple of photos of lovely Laura who lives on the East Coast.

I'll be seeing her (and, Sophia will be there too) in PA for a week in Mid-August.

(There is a third granddaughter out here — Charlotte — who's 8 months old and is currently living under the alias "Pea Pod.")

Have a great weekend everyone.

Adorable is the word.
John Philipp Jul 31, 2009, 11:13am EDT
Thank you, Kushal, though I think I look more "manly."
Sheryl L. Jul 31, 2009, 10:44am EDT
They are lovely. Hope you enjoy the visit in aug.
Glenna J. Jul 31, 2009, 10:45am EDT
very cute
Vaishnavi K. Jul 31, 2009, 10:52am EDT
pretty and adorable!!!

Have a great visit with your adorable granddaughters! I'm sure you will.
Judi F. Jul 31, 2009, 11:28am EDT
Ah, John, you can tell she's your granddaughter. And, actually, you did have something to do with it (unlike what you said on the Wombat thread). You made one of her parents, so without you, no Laura. :)
Tanya P. Jul 31, 2009, 12:00pm EDT
Sweet photos. You've got that grandparent glow!

You're a lucky man, John. Raised up good kids and now a grandfather of 3 lovely little girls. And you get to go to the Poconos in a few weeks.

Thanks for sharing Laura with us too. :-)
John Philipp Jul 31, 2009, 2:08pm EDT
And three boys to round it all out.
~Sia McKye~ Jul 31, 2009, 3:29pm EDT
Three boys too? See, I didn't know that. Hopefully, they'll all be there on vacation and you'll have to get a picture with you and the grandkids. You're a lucky man, my friend. Nice blessings. :-)

I hate it when little girls grow up to the point where they're not afraid of the monster face I make at them in the grocery store line when mommy is not looking. At this age, they stick their tongue out at me and kick me in the shin if I'm not wary. Not good, I'm sure we can all agree.
Pat S. Jul 31, 2009, 12:24pm EDT
Ah, John, such a cutie! And the little girl is adorable, too!
Jan S. Jul 31, 2009, 12:25pm EDT
Laura is darling. I know you're looking forward to seeing her. Granddaughters are fun.
Adina P. Jul 31, 2009, 12:26pm EDT
Mmmm...do I smell cookies and sugar and spice ?

Adorable girls John , enjoy them :)

Grandchildren do put the sparkle in your eye - very nice
Beth H. Jul 31, 2009, 12:31pm EDT
Ah, no orangutans. They're precious, John. And I'm betting the Pea Pod is equally precious.
Tracy Fabre Jul 31, 2009, 12:38pm EDT
Cuties, both - and granddad's sort of a hunk too. ;-)
Robert - just a simple man - B. Jul 31, 2009, 12:49pm EDT
These are terrific photos John. Kids look good and grandad's looking good too.

My only digress is you letting folks know you're going to PA in August. Now how am I going to make them believe that a year after a sasquatch abduction, aliens come and got you? I'll think of something.

Truly, my friend, wonderful shots - you're a lucky man.
Kimberly Ripley Jul 31, 2009, 1:53pm EDT
So sweet....both of you! (Wouldn't want you to feel left out, John!)
John Philipp Jul 31, 2009, 2:10pm EDT
Thanks all. Just wanted to share the East coast side of this enterprise ...
Steph-in-NE ..... Jul 31, 2009, 3:24pm EDT
grand children are a blast,,, thanks for sharing
Elizabeth A. Jul 31, 2009, 3:43pm EDT
Great pictures, Grandpapa!*0:-)
Lance L. Jul 31, 2009, 5:00pm EDT
I don't know what's cuter the sign behind you, in the second photo, or your grand daughters. Okay, okay it's the girls. :~D
John Philipp Jul 31, 2009, 6:45pm EDT
I'd have to agree, Lance.

Even my mother agrees :)
kimberly g. Jul 31, 2009, 6:59pm EDT
what an adorable girl you got there!
enjoy your visit!
Kamran Qureshi Aug 1, 2009, 12:44am EDT
She's an angel, have a great time!
Linda T. Aug 1, 2009, 3:33am EDT
Grandchildren add a special element to our lives. I bet you can't wait for that visit.
Shirley ♡ ☮ M. Aug 1, 2009, 3:36am EDT
I hope you have a great time with them, which I'm sure you will!
John Philipp Aug 1, 2009, 8:07am EDT
Thanks all. All six grandchildren will be there for a one-day overlap.

A rugrat convention :)
Haim Kadman Aug 1, 2009, 10:33am EDT
They are sweet and beautiful John, what a joy it must be meeting them again!
Karen E. Aug 2, 2009, 1:29am EDT
My grand Izabella recently told us that we could not call her adorable any more. We still do. Your grands are beauties. I love that you share them with us.
John Philipp Aug 2, 2009, 9:30am EDT
Thanks, Haim and Karen. I'm with the other granddaughters right now.

Everyone gets togetehr in 2 weeks. The girls love their cousins.
Wendy C. Aug 2, 2009, 5:57pm EDT
Two very beautiful girls John. And one very proud Papa.
K D. Aug 4, 2009, 9:15pm EDT
What a little sweetheart! I can see the strong family resemblance, too. Who knows....maybe she'll grow up to be a humorist like her grandpap!
