WOW! Three new little ones ...

Tonight I am waiting.  Waiting.  Waiting.  Waiting.

It seems that our family is growing by leaps and bounds.  When we moved to this state 6 years ago  this month, we had two precious grandchildren and one about to be born.  Since that time the number of grandchildren has increased.  We have seven presently.  The first two are now 7 years old and heading the the second grade.  We have three more due any day now.  Yep... Three....  three different parents ...  bringing our total to 10 who all live out here.  That will be five girls and five boys.

My blessings abound!  My joy overflows!  My excitement is not easily contained.

Our two daughters and one daughter in love are all due the last week of May.  One will be induced on the 19th if she doesn't go into labor before.  One will have a c-section on the 31st and one will be induced on the 30th, unless she goes into labor before then. 

They will all be born at the same hospital.  Each has a different doctor.  All the doctors have different theories on when delivery should take place... a week before, a week after, on the due date....  Actually, God has a plan and He knows the perfect day.

So, we wait.  Wait.  Wait. Wait.

One girl, and two boys....

How precious that they will all be so close.  The others are very close and love to get together.  They love to come to my house.  I love for them to come.

I'm blessed.  I'm happy.  I'm content.  I'm thrilled.

Thank you for sharing in my joy!

Blessings~

How to Get Back on The Horse....

I think I fell off the horse and I don't know how to start again.

One of the joys and pleasures of my life USED to be blogging. I spent untold hours writing and taking pictures and reading and commenting.

I stopped. Just stopped. It was gradual and slow. It was unintentional. One day I just woke up and realized that I haven't even opened my blog in weeks! That used to ALWAYS be open on my computer. I would check often during the day to see what others had posted on their blogs. I searched for new bloggers. I added new ones to my favorite blog list. I made new friends all over the place.

My blog brought much joy and pleasure and company to my life.

Today I missed it. I missed my friends. I missed sharing my life and sharing in the life of others.

Facebook took over the instant gratification for tidbits of life. But, for the deep meaningful relationships it takes more heartfelt sharing.

I had some things in my life that I did not want to share with the world. Things that were too private and personal to be broadcast on the internet.  So, I just withdrew.

I hope to be back at it...

I've missed you!



Realizations

Yesterday I was carrying on a conversation with a friend on facebook about quinoa. I left and when I got home went straight to bed.

This morning when I got up, I checked facebook and found that my friends 15 year old son was in an accident and died shortly after our conversation.

I was shocked and horrified and saddened. Life is short - much too short for some! But, even after living to an old age, life seems short. I think of my mama. She was 88 when she crossed over to see the face of Jesus. It was certainly her gain - but our loss.

The same for Nathan. He is dancing on streets of gold and praising loudly as he did here on earth.

Not sure what my point is. Where my thoughts are going.... just thinking that friends and family are precious. Life is eternal. We should live each day as if it were our last. I know kind of cliche'ish.... but never the less.... true.
