We made it to Salt Lake City to meet our Little Miss. I did manage to wait until the truck was parked before jumping out to meet her, but just barely.
To say we came baring gifts could be a slight understatement. She ‘needed’ a cow lovie, as well as my favorite board book, ‘Are You A Cow?‘.
My Other Girl’s old baby blankets, a darling stuffed lamb and a hunting knife to name a few.
My Loving Spouse has decided that his deer hunting days are over. He wanted to gift Number Five Son with his deer riffle, which is apparently quite a nice one. I, however, made Number Five pickled beets, hard to keep up with me.
My Other Girl, Number Five and My Loving Spouse hauled all the gifts in, while I held the baby. Yes, that’s me, taking one for the team.
Little Miss, in case you are wondering is absolutely perfect!
What a joy to be with this sweet little family. The ‘kids’ (My Other Girl and Number Five Son) are a good team and they’ve been lucky to have Number Five working from home for the last few months. They have a very fun attitude toward this journey. They call this next picture, “Maybe she is big enough to sit in the stroller without her car seat!”
Little Miss was a great ‘camper’, coming to spend the afternoon at our campsite. I had packed my camping rocking chair just for this occasion.
The Grandparents declared it was just too hot for her at camp. We sent the family home with promises of bringing the steak dinner back to their house.
This Grammy was welcomed, encouraged and loved. Sweet words to fill our soul, ‘do you want to hold her again?’
…and we are very blessed.
Gorgeous! Cute overload!
Love that! Thank you, Richard.
What a cutie and what fun for you and your spouse.
Thank you, Doris. Indeed it was…now figuring out when to fly back.
Oh my gosh Ellen, she is just beautiful! What a doll! Congratulations to you and Pat, and Mommy and Daddy!
Thank you Cousin, you’re right. She is a doll! Sure miss you guys.
We still want to come visit!! But this spring and summer we’ve been dealing with damage to lots of our shrubs, and treatments, and then replacements are still to come. It might not be done until the end of Sept., but we don’t know yet (it’s a long story)! Also, Gary’s family will be visiting for 2-1/2 weeks in Sept. But, that could change. Since Covid has gotten worse, Gary’s sister is concerned about traveling, because she has RA., so they could cancel their visit. If so, then maybe we could come visit you. However, then it will depend on your work schedules! Well, I’ll just let you know when we learn more! Love you!
Great, let’s keep working on it, until then many hugs!
love you too.
Your Little Miss is absolutely precious. What a wonderful blessing was given to your family with her birth.
Being a grandparent is just the icing on the cake in life. Mine grands are all adults and am now looking forward to the time of being a Great Gramma. By the way quilts are already made in anticipation for what will blessings to our family.
Thank you so much. I love that your quilts are already to wrap around your new ones when they come.
Little Miss is so precious. What a wonderful gift grandchildren are. They fill our lives and hearts to the brim and I cry with every goodbye. I hope you get to see her often!
Tears of love,
thanks my friend.
She is a cutie!!! Congratulations!!
Thank you, dear friend!
Congrats Ellen and Pat and family! She is beautiful!
Thanks Heather! Appreciate your sweet words.
Could feel your Grammy love via the photos. Congrats!
Thank you, Shelley, this Grammy is blessed.
She’s beautiful, Ellen! How many grandbabies does this make for you? Our eldest son and his wife are expecting our first grandbaby in March. We couldn’t be more excited! Fortunately they live nearby so we won’t have to be camping in the heat. Thank goodness they have central air. Love you!!
Les, I am so happy for you! We have 3 grandchildren, but none of them are nearby, so enjoy it all!
Love you too!
Adorable! So happy for you to have this addition to your family! Love, love, love flows through your arms!
Well said, huge smile,
love you
