this is our bunny...
I am not sure how long ago..I think it was on the Geek thread, but John mowed over a nest almost, he didn't hurt any bunnies, but he brought one baby in...we kept it for a day or two before sending it back out and this one hangs out ALL the time....we gave him a bag of lettuce tonight.

 

[lillygator]

oh and how could I forget...the BAB's have iPods...that make NOISE!

 

[disneylover5]

Well it feels like forever since I last posted. I am continuing to have server problems...grrr

There's no way I'm going to get all caught up... but it does look like both Noel and Deb are feeling much better Glad you're both on the mend.

Sorry Nan that you are having such stressful times over your mom's health right now, sending lots of pixie dust and prayers that she gets the care she needs and is on the mend before too long too

Although I may not post as much as a lot of you, I try to read as often as I can, and am amazed at how generous and kind you all are to one another. So, where generally in life I have learned to be a little careful what I share with others, simply to protect myself from hurtful comments and judgements, I have decided to share with you what has been one of the most joyous days of my life.

Today I became the grandmother to the most beautiful baby girl

At 9:25 AM , Serenity was born weighing 8lbs 14 oz.

You may remember my daughter was married in May. Well, two days later, my son (who moved to another province in Feb) informed me that his girlfriend, who still lives here, was pregnant and expecting in Sept. We have had a few tough months. His girlfriend, Samantha (yes, yet another Samantha! ) and him planned to move her out to where he is after the baby was born. She is young and scared One day she wants to move, the next she wants to stay here, how hard to have a new baby and move half way across the country where there are no friends or family. She does not have a mom around which just makes this harder. So my son took some time off work and came home a couple of weeks ago and Samantha has moved in with me for now. And finally, a week late (after being told by the doctors she was definately going to be early ) a sweet baby girl was born this morning They will be coming home, to my house, on Monday. My son needs to go back to work on Thurs and Samantha and the baby will stay with me until Nov then move out west. I am so worried about how they will make out and whether Samantha will actually be able to follow through with these plans. But I try very hard, especially after losing my husband 5 years ago, to live each and every day for itself. So, on this very special day, I hope to share with all of you , the joy of being a grandma for the very first time.

Are you saying I have to eat with a grandma????? You have got to be kidding!

How wonderful!! I am so happy for you.

I was visiting with one of my cousins today and she is 59 years old. Her granddaughter got married a few months ago and told me she will be a great grandmother before she is 60.

I am only a few years younger than her and I have an 11 year old!!

 

[disneylover5]

I will just miss you Lisa. Darn! I'm going from Oct21-Nov2.

I get in very early on the 2nd (like 9am) to Tampa. We are going to Epcot the first day....maybe we can meet somewhere...if only for a few minutes??

Of course not! As you can tell I LOVE pics......(just as long as it's not me!)

 

[lillygator]

oh my - it is POURING! Almost like tropical storm weather..very windy as well.

 

[lillygator]

well we decided that a puppy is in order for xmas...an inside dog and now, John just said somethign about 2....NO WAY!
No Dobies.....John was bitten by one as a child...no Boxer's.....Lab is the front runner with Dalmations and Weimereiner's - I totally butchered that------ rounding out the list.

 

[lillygator]

I am a bit sad, I would like to adopt from a shelter but John is very adament about raising a puppy....we raised Gator together...and Lilly was mine so I raised her and John was ok with her but I am not sure he ever felt fully comfortable. Lilly was definitely my protector...as well as the girls. We did the whole wrap the new baby in the blanket for a day and gave both dogs one.

 

[lillygator]

I scared everyone off again!!

Gameday MIGHT be in Gville next week, they decide tonight!

V-Actually, speaking of pics of you...you look very much like one of three "young" women (remember I turned 50 PLUS I'm a Grandma ) I met in line at one of the free wine seminars at epcot last year. Any chance it WAS you??? Maybe you have a twin? I know you have a sister
