My Babies With Their Babies

My Babies With Their Babies

As a mother and now a grandmother it is a surreal moment when you see your babies holding their babies. I don't have words to express such a moment. I've pondered this moment and these pictures a LOT and still I don't possess the words to express the profound feelings attached to such a moment.

My heart is full and my love continues to grow.

 

He's Here!!! Part 2

He's Here!!! Part 2

My second grandson has arrived! I am blessed beyond measure! Two healthy grandsons and two healthy mommas. 

GOD is so good and I am so grateful and so very thankful.

My heart is so full!

 

He's Here!!!

 He's Here!!!

First and foremost, Momma and baby boy are both doing great!

My first grandson has arrived! Born at 9:19 on 09/19, healthy and handsome.

I am so grateful and so blessed with the arrival of this beautiful baby boy.

Blessed beyond measure!

My heart is so full, as I sit here trying to write this post I struggle to find the words to express the joy of this precious life. I will say it is so amazing to have the blessing of watching my child become a mother. Watching her hold and love her child is truly a feeling of completeness as a mother that I never realized was even possible. I simply do not have words to express the joy and happiness that I am feeling.

I just feel so honored and so blessed! Excited for the blessing of getting to watch this little guy grow and the opportunity to love him.

Let the adventures begin!

Awwwww, it's staycation vacation time! Home waiting on the babies to arrive. Have I mentioned I'm going to be a Grandma ... 😁 

A lovely morning with a hot cuppa tea.

Baby Quilts for My Grandsons

Baby Quilts for My Grandsons

In March of this year while in Florida, the parents of my grandsons went with me to a quilt shop and picked the fabrics for the baby quilts.

I decided on the same quilt pattern for both of the quilts. The pattern is by Woolly Petals, and is FREE on her website, Wash Your Paws 

My son and his wife chose a galaxy themed fabric bundle, I found this cute panel to make the backing.

I had the best time creating these quilts for my grandsons.

My daughter picked a mid modern print with lots of cheerful motifs and coordinating tone on tone solids and I was able to find a print with pixelated 1990's motifs for the backing.

There are even a few dinosaurs scattered throughout.

Today we finished the nursery and we love how it turned out. My daughter's vision for this room was warm and whimsical and she nailed it!

It's such a sweet, warm and whimsical room that is now ready for the baby to arrive.

The lovely lady with my daughter who made this baby shower happen and provided the most beautiful and delicious food for everyone to enjoy.

I did get a video of the beautiful spread of amazing and delicious food but not a picture. I did however get a picture of the beautiful cookies made especial for the celebration.

It was a wonderful day with friends and family celebrating the upcoming arrival of my GRANDSON!

Baby Boy's Room

Things are coming together in the nursery. Yesterday, the rocking chair arrived which was the last of the furniture to arrive.

My daughter has done an amazing job putting all of this furniture together. 

Now, it is time to at the finishing touches and decor to this room before the baby arrives.

Jasper The Friendly Kitty

 Jasper the Friendly Kitty

The friendliest kitty I know ...  Jasper is one of my daughter's cats. He is a funny little fellow. Jasper is a male calico and did you know that for a male cat to have a calico pattern, the feline has to have three sex chromosomes: two Xs and a Y. This phenomenon can happen in both humans and animals and is, in either case, known as Klinefelter syndrome. Jasper also has a stub of a tail. He is the cutest funny little thing.

He's a shy guy, so when he showed up in my bedroom and crawled onto my lap I was really surprised.

I was surprised and very happy that he is finally getting comfortable enough around me to stop in for a little snuggle. 

He's a sweet little soul.

Quilts For The Baby Boys

 Quilts For The Baby Boys

I'm making quilts for my new grandsons. Over the July 4th holiday weekend I was able to finish one of the quilt tops.

I used a pattern that I have made before and I love how this has turned out. 

The fabric theme is Outerspace and this quilt turned out so cute.

The parents of my grandsons picked out the fabrics that I am using to make these quilts which makes it all the more special.

HERE COMES THE SON

 HERE COMES THE SON

This morning 4th of July morning, my daughter and I went for a 3D ultrasound to see the baby boy.

Technology is simply amazing! The baby was very active and we got a lot of pictures of him. There are even a couple of 5D photos that were emailed to my daughter.

I am in total awe of these pictures. It's a very profound feeling for me to get to see my grandson before he even arrives. I am so blessed and grateful for these photos.

What a gift!

We Are Family

 We Are Family

Yesterday afternoon we had our first family visit in our new home. My nephew and his beautiful family came by to see us and our new home. It was a great evening visiting.

It makes me very happy to have family in our new home. I hope this is the first of many family visits. I've had several friends over already and I hope there will be many more visits from both family and friends.

Big Change - More Later - It's Later

 More Later - It's Later ...

I promised more news later on the changes that May would bring ...

WE MOVED!

And by we, I mean me and my daughter. We bought a house together!

I packed up my little house and my sewing room and moved into a split level rancher with my daughter.

We have been talking about buying a house together for several years and NOW seemed the perfect time. As I head toward retirement in a few years it just made sense to find the home of our dreams that fits our plans for the future.

And, we found it!!!

We closed on the sale of my house and the purchase of our new house last week on Friday.

I enjoyed my coffee on our new deck ... while waiting on the movers to arrive with all of my things.

And, in the midst of the move my children celebrated me with flowers, calls, and a lovely lunch on Mother's Day.

The Lord has blessed me beyond measure.

May brings change ... more on that in a bit! 😎💖

2026 Easter Basket

This year's Easter Basket is especially SPECIAL!

I'm going to be a GRANDMA!!!

💖💖💖

Our Family is joyously expanding.

Not only is my daughter expecting but my daughter-in-law is also expecting.

Two healthy baby boys are due to arrive in the Fall.

I started making this year's Easter Basket as I knew my daughter was expecting but, long before I knew my daughter-in-law was also expecting. 

I am doubly blessed and so incredibly grateful!

2026 - Here We Go!

 2026 - Here We Go!!!

The past few years I have completed a yearly BINGO card of goals. I love a list!

I won't lie ... a blank BINGO card is pretty intimidating!

But, pretty exciting too!

The possibilities are endless!

2026 ... Here We Go!!!

All Has Been Merry and Bright

End of 2025 Vibes

I've enjoyed a very quiet and peaceful holiday season with all of those whom I love. It has been spectacular! 2025 has provided so many wonderful God given blessings. A new job that I love. Good health, real peace, and happiness.

I am blessed beyond measure and I am truly grateful!

Ending 2025 in a quiet and peaceful place. My prayer for 2026 is continued peacefulness, good health, and profound happiness for each of us.

Happiest of New Years to you all!
