I received an email from CJ inviting me to join her brand new fun weekend meme called R & R Weekend. Thanks for the invitation, CJ! I don't think there is any better way to revive my spirits than to hold my precious new granddaughter. Please join her also at http://inandoutmynest.blogspot.com/.
Kathy is also starting a new blog called A Return to Loveliness at http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ , to celebrate loveliness coming into our lives and homes. It sounds like a fun meme so why don't we all join her too?
As some of you know, I left home for the holidays to welcome the arrival of 3 granddaughters. The first one, Baby Reese arrived the evening of Dec. 26, just missed a day of being a Christmas baby. Both baby and mom were doing so well that they only got to stay a day and 2 nights in the hospital and came home on the 28th.
Tina and Scott's German neighbor, Natasha, came the night before to decorate the house to welcome them. That was so sweet of her! Tina and Scott are sure lucky to have very nice neighbors in Chris and Natasha, even if they are only here a few months a year. Their son, J, is the perfect playmate for B and N because his age is right in between theirs.
And here is our little bundle of joy as she enters the door.
Her brothers were so excited when they saw the vehicle pull up to the driveway. They couldn't wait to see her.
They kept piling up toys on her, lol.
And here is our little princess so comfy in her home now.
And here is our little princess so comfy in her home now.
Can you see one of her dimples here?
Thank you so much for stopping by! I really appreciate your visits and comments especially during this very busy season. I hope you are all blessed with a new year that is full of love, good health, peace and prosperity.

I could just kiss her skin off. I know her skin is so soft that you can't even feel it. I am soooo in envy mode.

I am thinking, tho, with daughter at 43 and daughter in law at 48, we won't have any more until more of the grands get busy. :)))
So thankful she and mom are doing so well.
