This is it......THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT !

Are you ready...........wait..........I should ask "AM I READY?" No, but I will be !

My daughter, Kelley, who just gave birth to that big ol' 10 and a half pound baby boy three weeks ago, is going to leave him with his daddy in Germany (they're an Army family, you know), for a week, just to fly here and bring me my two older grandbabies for the SUMMER !
UNBELIEVABLE SACRIFICE she and her hubby are making FOR HER DADDY AND ME !

Yep, I get to be the Nana again, for two whole months ! And the Mama, for a week ! I've missed my daughter so much, especially while going through all of this change in her daddy's health and the move and all ! She's so dear to me ! And those babies have grown up so much ! It's been almost 3 years since she moved out of our house, and I've seen her only for two short visits, and the last one of those was in December of 2007 when her daddy had his first stroke. Hubby can't wait to get those babies under his roof again,.......daughter AND grandbabies.

It's going to be an amazing time for her too.........finally getting to meet all of the family she's heard about all of her life, but never met ! She's beside herself with excitement, and says she's gonna go 'knockin' on doors ' ! Ha ! They're all so tickled to be meeting her again, too.......having seen her only as a 3 week old baby, if at all.

Anyway, there it is..............I've got a bit to do to get this place ready, and I will post until then, but I may just get too busy after they arrive. But when you miss me then, you'll stop and think, "oh yeah, she's got her hands (and arms) full (of love again) !

Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.
I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
Psalm 66:16-20
