We have a new family member!

Things have been a little crazy around our household this past week. We had a wonderful Christmas full of family, friends and food! Then a few short days later our family got a little larger as we welcomed the newest member, Emma Grace! Emma is our 5th grandchild! Mom, baby and family are doing well.

I started a card shortly after for Emma but wouldn't you know it... I got sick... the flu... So much for flu shots right? :-P Today is the first day I feel half way normal... but if you see any typos please forgive me... My brain is still very foggy!

Before the card I have to share a photo of Emma... (insert proud grandma grin here)...



And on to the card...

Welcome Baby!

I have exciting news! Before my friends who read this blog (all two of them) get excited... I'm not expecting! Whew! But we did find out yesterday that son and daughter-in-law are having a girl! This makes number five in their family. A few years ago they adopted number 4 and had given up on having more. Well... as God often works... SURPRISE!!!! We are really excited to have a new little girl. This will shift the balance of power though. Now there will be 3 girls and 2 boys... Ben and John are not liking this AT ALL! LOL... I've told the kids don't expect to see the bathroom at all during the teenage years... They will just have to take a number!

And for more exciting news... this makes my 63rd post this year. Why is that so special? Because last year I only had 62 posts. I have now officially surpassed last years total! Thanks so much for watching, reading and posting. I appreciate your love, prayers and feedback! Until next time...
