A Late Birthday Wish for Jake

Six years ago (Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2007), 

we were blessed with one more angel.  

GrandAngel #2 - Jake Montgomery Geary 

He was a preemie

And though he was in the hospital for a little over a week, he got out just in time to be our little Santa....

Jake has grown to be a sweet, healthy, ornery little guy.  

All boy.

Last month he became very ill, suffering from mono and strep throat.  He was sick for almost a month with a fever peaking at 105 and hovering at around 103.

This is a video I took of him in the hospital 

saying hi to his cousin Rissi. 

Lots of prayers and good thoughts were sent his way, and today he is doing much better.  

Happy 6th Birthday Jake!  

Seeing his big, mischievous smile again warms my heart!  

Dogs and Depression

The sun does not shine.
It is too wet to play.
So I sit in the house
All these cold, cold, wet days

I sit there with Mom.
We sit there, we two.
And I say "How I wish
I had something to do!"

Too wet to go out
And too cold to play ball.
So we sat in the house.
We do nothing at all.

So all we can do is to 

Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
Sit! 

And I do not like it.
Not one little bit.

*Sigh*

So finally Dad says,

I got idea!  Lets take Gracie to the tennis courts and give her some exercise.  

The sun does not shine.
It is too wet to play....
And you'd think Mom would not bath me
On this cold, cold, wet day.

But she does.

And I don't know if I can forgive her.

ALL CLEAN!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY SUMMER!

It's a gray, snowy day today here in Western Maryland....

But the good news is...

Summer is here to stay.

Happy 2nd Birthday to my precious #3 Grand-Angel!

This Grammy feels blessed!!
