The Eyes of a Child

"If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sunlight on its cradle."

Sleepy Boy...

November 20, 2010

"We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us."

No matter how long it has been since you have held an itty bitty baby while they sleep ... you never forget how truly precious they are and the feeling of true contentment they give you.

Sweet Jaxson.... Cuddling with Gammy and Off to Dreamland....

You are my Sunshine!

"You are the CHEESE to my MACARONI ~ You are the HORIZON to my SKY ~ You are the BACON to my EGGS ~ You are the LACES to my SNEAKERS ~ You are the JELLY to my PEANUT BUTTER ~ You are the SMILE to my FACE ~ You are the GRAVY to my MASHED POTATOES ~ You are the MILK to my COOKIE ~ You are the INK to my PEN ~ You are the KETCHUP to my FRENCH FRIES ~ You are the WATER to my OCEAN ~ You are the ICING on my CUPCAKE ~ YOU....... are my SUNSHINE!" Love, Love, Love this 'lil guy.... :)

Gammy Time!!!

This is a very special week this week for me! It's "Gammy" time with Jaxson, KL, and Cory to help in this adjustment to their new life roles ... and they are doing it BEAUTIFULLY!! From my perspective, watching them love and getting to know their sweet baby boy just warms my heart....

.... As for me, the sweet familiar feeling of when I was in this place in time with Cory ... holding my grandson in my arms, calm and relaxed, making those baby "squeaky" sounds, and looking at me with those sweet eyes just never gets old. He is such a good baby and so fortunate to have KL and Cory as his parents ...

This is going to be a fun journey Pee Wee, I promise you that my sweet Jaxson.....

Proud Grandparents, Proud Family!!!

Happy New Daddy and Mommy!!!!

Happy New Gammy and Grandpa!

Happy New GREAT Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie and Uncle!!!!
