Happy first birthday, Capt. Adorable! My grandson, Nolan, is 1 today. Everybody told me how much I would love being a grandmother and what a precious gift grandchildren are and I said, “Oh, yes. I know!” but it takes being a grandma to really know and now I can say with all the conviction in the world: Being a grandparent is the best thing ever! We’re partying all weekend, but Nolan already got his best present: A rocking dragon his daddy made him from a rocking-horse pattern. As always, I am overwhelmed by my son-in-law’s talent. He put a “B” on the seatback, handtooled the leather trim and made a lightweight sword to complete the ensemble. Nolan loves it. It was Jason’s first woodworking attempt, and now I’m making up my own want list: coffee table, bench, barstools …

Capt. Adorable is a doll face! Keep posting pics. of him, cause they make me smile. That is some craftmanship your son in law is capable of. I don’t blame you for beginning a list of your own. He’s talented. Wishing you alot of fun this weekend celebrating the joys of being a Grandmother!
You know, based on the photo, it appears Nolan really loves his dragon!
He is the sweetest thing and his daddy is pretty talented. Happy birthday little man!!!
