Baby Showers




Last Sunday we had a baby shower for another new little one that will be joining our family in May. It was fun to play the little shower games and watch our other Mommy open all her gifts. I got a real kick out of some of the gifts that were opened and thought I would share one of my favorite ones.

Baby Updates.....


Our new little one is 1 week old. My how time flies. Her other Grandma is visiting her so I know she is getting tons of attention and hopefully Mommy and Daddy are getting some much needed rest.

Friendship


What is friendship? Through the years I have had many special friends who have been there for me through the good and bad times in my life. We've laughed and cried and stood side by side threw thick and thin. A true friend is one whom, even though you may only see them once a year, is someone who when you make contact with them again, you feel as though you have never been out of touch with them at all.

I have to tell you that I had an appointment today in an old community that I used to live. I decided to look up an old friend that I have'nt seen in over a year. We spent many hours just chatting about the things we use to do and catching up on all the new things that are now going on in our lives. Life always changes around us but old friends always stay the same.

Thanks to my special friend Susie whom I have known for many years I had a wonderful Valentine's day just sharing old memories and catching up on new ones as well.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Happy Valentine's day to all my family and friends.

Dairies Of A Grandmother




I'm sitting at home just reflecting how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family even though my children are all grown and now have families of there own. Being a grandma was very strange to me a few years ago when my first grandchild was born but as she grew up to be such a wonderful little young lady and to love her grandma "A" so much I now know how special being a grandmother is. Malia has taught me that, the 4 short years she has been in my life. I love spending time with her just to watch her princess movies or coloring with her in her coloring book.
As I get older I realize how special and precious each moment is. I guess that comes with age and wisdom. Don't get me wrong I still love to have fun and expect that with my granddaughters there will be many special times. I can't wait to get to know Isla the way I know my sweet little Malia. Oh and by the way Malia's mom has another special gift arriving sometime in May.
Embrace each moment as if it where your last and live and enjoy it to the fullest. The greatest gifts anyone can ask for are family and friends.

New Baby Is Home...

Our new tiny one and her parents are now settled at home. I just want to thank all of you who kept them in your prayers. All are doing fine. As soon as I get pictures I will share them with all of you.
