I think 4pm - was that right? We have Illuminations dessert party and viewing that night!!
I sure wish I saw her!!
Don't you love her voice?
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 scaredOne 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.

What a beautiful unusual name too. Enjoy the days ahead.
Yes, March babies are great!
You can't really get authentic S'mores at a restaurant since you really need the campfire to roast the marshmallows. Just not the same toasted over a burner. I like mine just toasted brown, DrHug likes his burnt!

Well yesterday is over and it wasn't a pretty task. Everybody's emotions were high, nerves were raw, exhaustion setting in and everytime you picked up something to decide whether to keep or throw out, you grabbed the tissues. It was not easy.
Venetia, just having been through it yourself, I know you realize what was involved.
But we got it all done. The only thing left to go back and finish today are all the Christmas decorations....more memories.....more tissues. Then we're finished and the house is empty. I will be glad when this weekend is over. I think we have all had enough.
I hope it goes well for you Miss V! I've been so busy this week with the new office and the Office Managers in for their annual meeting, that I have NOT been able to check in here - your interview and the results of that have popped into my head a couple of times... I'm catching up now and hopefully will hear good news???!!!!I still didn't hear a word today.
Oh well, I did my best!
Jackie and I are very excited to be there this year for the PARTY!!! My first Very Merry Christmas Party! We then get to cruise the Wonder for 3 nights. YIPEE
That's too funny!!!! I love cereal for dinner...Now, Sweetie. Eat your bowl of cereal.
OMG - you two are too funny!!!!
I like it when I come home from work and Angie has thrown an onion in the oven so I think she's cooking dinner!
Glad to have you back and at it!
I know what you mean, I wear my mother's wedding ring and her sweet 16 ring around my neck on a chain! (Her fingers were WAY tiny!)I went out today and drove...it hurt a little, but it was worth it. The jewelry store called to say that my repairs were ready. I had mom's wedding ring made into a pinkie ring for me....it's a five stone marquee diamond band. And I took her pear shaped engagement stone and made it into a pendent and turned it upside down into a tear drop for mom. I feel better wearing them....first of all because they're diamonds, but mostly because mom wore them.
SKEET SHOOTING AT WDW???? JACKIE - why didn't you tell me??? I love to "blow things up!"I'm a terrible skeet shooter....my cousin is really into it and good at it and I've tried with him a couple of times....I just can't get the hang of it....my aim is so off and then the thing if flying in the air. I could never catch it. But it was fun to try....even more fun if I could do it.
Tether ball - my favorite word of those days ...shuttlecock!So what other great games do we remember playing as a kid...there was badmitten and ping pong....we played pool, but were much older...there was of course bowling.
The kid who's always up at 6 or 7am finally wore out! It was cute, I heard him stand next to me for a second, then I heard him whisper to himself something along the lines of "Mom's sleeping" and I heard him playing in his bedroom and whispering to himself. So cute! I didn't go back to sleep of course, just wanted to see what he was doing. The first thing he said to me was about how much fun he had last night. So we talked about the evening again.
OH YEAH, LOVE THOSE!!!!It's a Baileys Banana Colada....it's to die for and it's exclusive to DCL. I've tried getting them off the boat and they don't know what you're talking about and if you explain how to make it they will, but it doesn't taste the same. You must try one on this cruise!
A miracle! Tyler slept until 9 this morning!
Tyler was watching "Alice in Wonderland" while eating breakfast (I never realized as a child how bizarre the movie really is) and has now asked me to come cuddle with him on the couch under a blanket. Very cute! Off I go! After the movie we'll start out day! Still trying to figure out what we'll do before the 2:30 planetarium show....we'll just wing it and have a fun day.
Have a great day everybody!
