No pictures this time. Just some thoughts. I am so terribly and awesomely blessed. God has given me a wonderful husband, four beautiful children, an awesome daughter-in-law and now the most handsome grandson. We are all healthy, happy, loved, cared for...I could go on and on. Each day brings new blessings into our lives. I have been reading two blogs of young women that have had severe tragedy come into their lives and have read about their amazing strength. One of them has been severely burned in a plane crash. Hers is a story of her sisters love for her. This makes me so extremely thankful for my sisters and our relationship. There is nothing like having a sister or two. I would never want to be without them. The other woman is just as strong. She has endured multiple amputations and blindness but every picture I see of her holds a smile on her face. I pray for these women daily even though I probably will never meet them but God knows them. They are his children too. Thank you God for all you have done for me and my family and for what you are continuing to do and what you will do in the future. I love you.

More pictures of our cutie pie. We just can't seem to get enough of him. Of course he is oblivious to it all.

Well, Noah is finally here. He is the sweetest thing you can ever imagine. Kacee was so brave and did so great. What a wonderful daughter-in-law I have. Her and Jamie are going to make great parents. I will be posting more pictures as I get them. He was only 7 hours old in these pictures.

ACKKKKKKKKKK!!! Not much longer now. I am so excited about little Noah. We got to go with Jamie and Kacee to their drs appointment and see the ultrasound. He is so cute. Kacee is on complete bedrest right now as her blood pressure has been somewhat eractic. I know that is hard on her, but best for her and Noah. I see all of these little babies at church and can't wait for ours. Possibly Noah will be here next Monday.

I was just looking back over the past year at this blog. Can't quite believe it has been over a year since I first started this blog. We have really had some great times with family and friends. Lots of good memories. This is better than scrapbooking. Looked back at the times at Canton, Texas not knowing that by that time this year we would have our own little grandson. What a wonderful life I lead. Thank you God for all of your blessings on our family.

Last Friday, Pam and Tim were at the house with their newest grandchild. She is so cute. Gary was holding her and got excited about our new one to come. When he was holding her I suddenly realized we didn't have a rocking chair to rock Noah in. Well, I immediately began searching for one and soon came to know that there isn't much to choose from. Definitely didn't want a recliner/rocker, don't particularly like the gliders and didn't want a stuffed one like Kacee has because it would not go with our furniture in the living room. So I decided to try to find a wooden one but not necessarily the kind on the front porch. I found one that I love and think will really look good in the living room. It is from Decor Americana. Hope it is a good one. I took a chance and ordered it yesterday without asking or telling Gary about it. I think it will be. ACK! What have I done?

I finished painting Noah's nursery pictures yesterday. I loved doing this for him and for Jamie and Kacee. It was tiring but fun. Not real pleased with the monkey but Oh well, can't have everything. Just a few more weeks until Mr. Noah is finally here. I can't wait to hold him, and kiss him. We are all really getting excited!
