Being a Grandparent



I was just thinking about how I remember my own grandparents. If I could have a wish it would be that I would be as good of a grandparent as my own Granny Wells. She is such a blessing to me in my life and I know without her who knows what kind of a person I would have become. You see I truly believe you are molded by those you are brought up around. Let me just tell you I have spent more hours with my Granny than I can even tell you. Of course she always made sure we went to church. This was of utmost importance to her and of course my grandpa.


Thinking back I remember how I always wanted to have children and could hardly wait for the day this would be a part of my life. I love all of my 3 children and words just would not be enough to explain how deeply my love for them is. Each one of them is a blessing from God. I grew up with two brothers and I was in the middle so of course I was able to get attention from each side of my family as I was the first granddaughter. I now know how my granny must have felt when I was born.


When I found out my second daughter was going to have a baby I was overjoyed. Then when I first saw Shelby ("Sweet Pea") I felt a new love that was so different than when I had my children. When my first born daughter found out she was going to have a baby again I was overjoyed. When I first saw Annalise ("Little Sweet Heart") I felt that same love and my heart again was truly blessed. I cannot wait from the last time to the next time I get the chance to see these two blessings that God has given to our family. One of the ladies where I work say I sure have the biggest smile on my face when they see me with Shelby. My daughter has noticed this also. I can say that both of them put a smile on my face and great joy in my heart. I look forward to all the times I will get to spend with each one of them. I will truly enjoy every second I get.

Annalise is now home with mom and dad. She is on a home monitor and is doing great. Mom and Dad are tired after a long day of waiting for the doctor to ok for Annalise to go home. Please keep them in your prayers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!






I just wanted to wish you a new year filled with blessings from God. This to most of us is like looking forward to new beginnings. I ask that all of you keep Jessica, Scott and Annalise in your prayers as they had to put Annalise back in the hospital. She was not keeping her temperature as she should. From what I have read and understand this is something that occurs in premature babies. I know she will be fine it is just hard on mom & dad.
