Little Ones

After all the swimming and the beach trips it was time to head out and help welcome the newest member of the family into the world. AMJ,our DD was due to deliver July 14th so I planned to arrive July 15th. But as you all know babies come when they are good and ready to come. So I got to spend good 7 days with DD and SIL-DJ. We shopped and I cooked and we ate out and we ran and then HNJ decide to arrive. But not before keeping her mom in a nice long labor. The night before ANJ went to the hospital she decided maybe if she ran this would help. Well, I had been walking a lot and I thought,Oh no you don't. No 9 mos. pregnant women is going to run and leave us behind.So I headed out after her. Only I wound up hurting my hip and I'm still seeing a Chiropractor for it. (something to talk about).

It's O.K daddy is here. That was a miracle in itself. Thank you Lord for allowing so much time back from Iraq. He had about 6 wks home with the girls.

He was very awed by this new little girl.
PROUD NONNI!What a blessing God allowed. For me to fly out and be there with my daughter and her husband was great . DJ even asked me to be in the delivery room. WOW! I always wanted to be there when a new life came into this world.Our God is so awesome!! I wouldn't trade that time with them for anything.

Daddy couldn't get enough of this little one. His dad came in to town to help with the fence they put up in their back yard. That was how I got any time with her.Well, just kidding he is the greatest son-in-law, he gave me lots of time with my new granddaughter. He is a sweatheart.
