A new addition to the Hardesty-Early family! This angelic sweetheart is Devyn, son of Mike's eldest granddaughter Samantha. Devyn was born in August 2001 and he is growing by leaps and bounds.

Devyn has a beautiful smile and sparkly eyes. Great-grandpa Mike would be most pleased to meet this young man. :-)
 

 Wow! Devyn has not only GROWN a great deal but he is also friends with a super-hero it seems. Rumor is Spiderman is looking for a new assistant and looks like he's found his man. ;-) 

 
 

Devyn and Grandma Katie in the kitchen. Check out the mega-watt smiles!

(Update: On a sad note, Katie passed away after fighting a very brave battle against hepatitis in October 2005.)
 

 

 

Mike's four stunning grand-daughters surrounding Devyn. That's Kelly in the back row on the left, Caitlyn beside her on the right, Leah wearing red, front right and Devyn cuddling with his Mom, Samantha.

The girls' Mom is Mike's firstborn daughter Robin.
 

   
 

 
  Mike sitting between Robin and Monica. I think this is Miriam's house. Monica has two sons, Barry and Kyle. I remember Mike loved to boast about his six grandkids and he saw them quite a bit when I knew him.
     
 

 Meet Robin. Like her father, Robin has a love and knowledge of fine antiques and collectibles. In between a busy career and raising the four kids, she has managed to be a first-rate mural artist as well.

 
     
 

 
 What could be more fun than an outing with the "Three Musketeers"? Here Samantha, Kelly (in stroller) and little Caitlyn smile in front of a splashy fountain. Mike really doted on his grandkids and enjoyed their company. He proudly displayed his family's photos at the bookstore and was always eager to tell about the latest escapades involving the kids!
