There is much going on today with so many of you warriors. Prayers to all you ladies. I'm having a bit of a reprieve this week, and wanted to share that my beautiful 8 month old granddaughter Brooke visited with me 2 days this past weekend from NC. I'm absolutely in love with her. It was wonderful to monopolize her time and it gave mom and dad a little break. Never had a girl, feel so blessed to have her. Amazing what a baby can do for our spirits.

    How fun for you and a treat for mom and dad. I had only a daughter so when my 1st grandchild was a boy, it was a treat. So different than a girl. Way more energy, always on the go. Now I have one of each and I am loving it so much. Glad you had this interlude. It is just the thing for us to have these simple joys while all of this is going on. Happy she lifted your spirits.

    I saw her pic in the pumpkin
    I saw her pic in the pumpkin patch on your expression page, such a precious face. Makes me think of those Anne Geddes dolls.

    Your granddaughter is so beautiful! You are so lucky! And, I agree, a baby can put a smile on our faces that noone else can. I am so happy that you had that time with her.

    Love, Jeanne ♥

    I'm so happy for you that you got to spend time with your grandbaby. She is precious and I'm sure you spoiled her rotten. That what grandparents are for, isn't it?

    Oh my Stef talk about
    Oh my Stef talk about beautiful grandkids, yours are adorable. Yes, boys are so different from girls. I raised 2 boys, grandson Charlie is very active like boys are, but Brooke who is also active, is really different. While she was still in the womb, I promised she and I would have a date to see the "Nutcracker" when she's a little older and can appreciate it. I always had a dream to see the play with a daughter or granddaughter. More reason for me to fight a good fight against this BC. It's a wish come true, and I plan to be healthy to keep that promise.

    Natly, I am so happy you had time with your granddaughter....they do make you smile, don't they. You need to take advantage of that every chance you get. Sometimes I think it is the little things in life that bring us through the darkest times. Squeeze her next time you see her for all of us. Glad she brought a little joy to your life.

    Hugs,

    Judy

    Thank you for the
    Thank you for the compliment. Baby Jo is so much like her mama and JJ is just like his PaPa. One with light brown hair and big blue eyes and one with black hair and big dark brown eyes. Baby Jo is a more active child than my Denise was. I think she follows big brother's lead. But girls are still just different.
    The Nutcracker is a most do for you and your little granddaughter. JJ wants to go this year He loves the two movies that they watched last year and jumps and turns in the air like the soldiers. They might take him to a local ballet school production this year. When Baby Jo is 3 and JJ is 6 we will all go to the SF Ballet production. I went when I was a girl, Denise went when she was a girl and the grandchildren definitely need to keep the tradition. It's a beautiful ballet. All little girls seem to want to be Clara at some time in their lives. I just didn't know I would have a little nutcracker as well. I know that when you and your granddaughter go it will be such a special moment. One of many, many through the years. Grandchildren are just the best. JJ tells me all the time that I am his best buddy. Just melts my heart. Aren't we just so lucky? Bless you and your entire family.
