I'll Pass on Winter. Summer please.

Winter can chill you to the bone...  

but Summer will warm your heart...

Tomorrow may be the first day of winter. 

 but at our house...  

Summer is here to stay!

~~ WELCOME SUMMER ~~

When we arrived at the hospital around 10:30AM,  everything was in place and ready.  

The nurse came in to check Lindsey, and from behind the curtain I heard her say in a much too calm voice,

 "She's ready to deliver".

So we went to the waiting room to...  wait.

And make cards for the new baby sister...

Smiles were contagious.  

Well...  not everyone was smiling.

 Thank you, my friends for your prayers and well wishes. 

Today I witnessed the miracle of life

 and felt the comfort of answered prayers.  

Thank you Lord, for a beautiful day!

Christmas Village and A Baby Soon!

As requested - below are some pictures of the Christmas village we put together for this year.  The train and the tree were both purchased new, but everything else was Yard Sale finds (really cheap) from last year.  I love our little village... 

 but not near as much as the Grandchildren love it! 

And speaking of grandchildren...  by Thursday at this time, that total should change from 2 to 3.  If Lindsey doesn't have the baby by Thursday, she's to check into the hospital @ 6AM to be induced and hopefully by afternoon - a healthy baby.

Please keep my daughter and new granddaughter in your thoughts and prayers for all to go well!  

   Christmas village sounds so cold.  Any suggestions on a name for this village?
