First finished grandbaby things....

here are the first two things I have finished for the first grandbaby.....the pink little hat that I want the baby to wear when she is first born. Sorry but I want my grandbaby to wear a hat I made when she is born. Not that I don't appreciate all the volunteers who knit hats for newborn, I just want my grandbaby to wear one that I made. I probably will make more to donate to the hospital for other babies, time permitting.

And the other thing I finished is a security blanket. None of my girls really had one growing up. They just never wanted one. I do remember Heather having a bear that she sleeped with and Gabby use to sleep with Blue (remember "Blues Clue"). I don't think Patricia ever slept with anything. Well anyway, I have seen these in stores and really thought they were cute but wanted to make one instead of buying one. The blanket part is only a 18" square with a bears head and arms attached. Hope the baby likes it because I "love" it.

Happy New Year!!!!

Wow that year went by fast. 2010 will be a very busy year for our family. My oldest daughter, Patricia, baby is due May 11th and we found out on Christmas Eve that our middle daughter, Heather, is expecting too and is due July 31st. She doesn't really want us telling anyone until she hears the baby's heart beat but I am going to be a grandma (Dedee) two times this year and I can not keep quite about it. (sorry Heather :-) Not quit sure how I am going to handle all this excitement, all I seem to do now when I think about them is get teary eyed. It just seems like yesterday when I was giving birth to them. I remember everything about the deliveries. My oldest daughter, Patricia, called today to ask me what to do about leg cramps because she was getting them quite often. I can still remember being pregnant with her and laying in bed when we lived on St. Pete Beach and waking up in the middle of the night with terrible leg cramps, or charlie horses, as Gary calls them. I can still remember that pain. It just comes on you and you want to scream. I sure wish they both lived closer now that they are pregnant. I never dreamed I would live in a different state then my girls.

Then there is Gabby, my youngest, who is driving already. How the heck did that happen. It was just yesterday I was giving birth to her and Patricia and Heather were right there in the hospital ready to hold her right after she was born. It just blows my mind how fast time flys by.

So here it is 2010, a new chapter in my life, with very exciting things happening this year. I will try and be a better blogger to let you all know whats happening.

May you "Live...simply, Laugh...often, and Love...deeply" in 2010. I love you Patricia, Heather and Gabrielle. Thank you for giving me such joy in my life.....you are all mom's favorite!

Look at my baby girl...

isn't she cute? She is starting to get a baby belly and look at her boobs, they are hugh. Her father keeps telling me to stop saying that, that is his little girl I'm talking about. haha! The baby is the size of a banana at 21 weeks. I love watching the little count down clock on her blog and seeing what fruit or vegetable the baby's size is compared to. I just finished a little pink hat for Hannah Grace to wear in the hospital. I just couldn't bare my first grandbaby to wear her first hat made by a stranger. It is so cute with bow and all.

Happy Holidays....

to everyone out there in blogger land, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. My family will be doing very exciting things next year....I can't wait.

June, July and everything in between....

I can't believe it is August already. I guess it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I guess not much going on except the garden growing this summer. And summer is almost over. School starts Tuesday for Gabby. I know it was a boring summer for her, sorry Gabby. Hope school this year will be a great Sophomore year for her.

I never did show any pictures of the garden growing. Sorry, don't know what the heck I was thinking. We had tons of tomatoes this year, green beans, cucumbers and carrots. Hardly any squash, stupid bugs got them this year no matter how much I sprayed. Now I need to plan on some veggies to plant for Fall.

So like I said it has been pretty boring around here. Even the dogs are so bored they are trying to get Gary's attention at the same time. Theo has to sit on his lap and Presley can't stand it so he sits on top of the end table. Gotta love our dogs, they are so goofy.

So now that the summer is almost over I need to figure out what to do about making some money. Not sure what I want to do. Well I do, I want to do the fabric thing, but afraid to spend the money to start it up. But hopefully something will happen soon. Until then I just keep trying to finish somethings I have started. Pulled out a quilt that I bought the fabric over ten years ago. That's pretty bad. I will probably finish it and give to someone as a Christmas present. Just need the motivation. But the top is almost done so I should be able to do it.

Well until next posting, I hope everyone out there is doing well. Hopefully I won't take months before I post again.
