Mother's Day Joy

 

Five grandchildren! Is there anything more joyful for our old age?

New Years' Joy

Rose and Nana Rozann (aka Rozy)

Please welcome Rose, born January 1 at 1:26 AM. Yes, she has red hair like the Nana she was named for. I'm overwhelmed at such a sweet blessing! I was named for my Nana - Rose Hansen, and now my newest grandchild is named Rose after me. We've come full circle.

All of the grands belong to Paul and Mykette, Auntie Elle held Eleanora the most.

This represents all of my treasures, so far.

This is what joy looks like!

Nana and Jellybean

I'm in Utah visiting our son Lt. Lehi, our daughter-in-law Miss Pasta, and their five week old son Jellybean. He is totally adorable and such fun to hold and cuddle. I'm willing to do it all again!

The "circle of life" is real and made of sorrows and joys. Meeting Jellybean is one of the JOYS!

Finally!!

He arrived 15 January at about 10:30 PM weighing 8 lb. 4 oz, measuring 20.5 inches. We are thrilled.

Is There Anything Better Than Grandchuns

I visited our adopted grandchuns recently for Miss Reader's thirteen birthday, and had a wonderful afternoon and evening with them.

Princess took her much needed afternoon nap on my lap. I was in heaven!

We met this wonderful family when we attended a new church congregation a couple of years ago. For some unknown reason Miss Precocious just took to me (and I to her). Their parents invited us over for a Sunday dinner and we became fast friends. We have both moved from that area, but are close enough for occasional visits. We couldn't love them any more if they were our blood relations.
