Greatest Joy...

Tuesday, October 29, 2013

Before I share everything that happened and is happening in my life I must share my greatest joy... On June 21st I became a Gigi... Bloggy world meet Lilly...

 
Here she is only a few hours old! I got to be there when she was born... It was one of the greatest moments of my life!

 
And at one week old...

 
Isn't she a doll?

 
She is the sweetest, happiest baby I've even been around!

 
Here she is with her "Pop"

 
And with her Daddy!

 
A more recent one with her beautiful Mommy!

 
She is very snuggly... Here she is taking a nap with Gigi about two weeks ago!
Being a grandparent is the best thing ever! I love this little girl as much as I loved my girlies, but now I have the wisdom of how fast it truly goes and so I don't waste a minute!

 
Here is out "Goobie" being silly with her Auntie! She LOVES her Aunt Allie something crazy...

 
I know I am biased, but how cute is she!?!?!

 
And she has the BEST laugh! I dare you not to laugh when she does... It's not humanly possible!

 
Here she is this week at 4 months old...
It is such a fun age, she recognizes us and reaches for who she wants!
Yeah, she has us all wrapped around her little finger!
And we wouldn't have it any other way!
 
(PS. Yes, she is big for her age... She is in the 99th percentile and is developmentally a 6 month old... Both her mom and aunt were the same way! Tall girls often start as tall babies!)

Thanks for listening,

Ok... It's just me...

Have you ever gotten super busy doing things you felt you had to, to commitments you made, and all the things you enjoyed doing had to take a back seat?

Ever let those things completely take over your life and not be able to see a way out?

Ever get so overwhelmed by your commitments you lost track of the things that give you joy?

Ever be going through all of that and find yourself in your darkest hour?

Ever feel like your whole life is just crashing around you and you wish you could reach out, but wouldn't know where to start?

Ever find your self in that moment and all you can cling to is the Lord and your loved ones?

Ever come out of that valley and start to find your joy again?

Ever see the clouds start to clear and have blessing pile up one upon the other?

Ever want to reach out and share that with your bloggy friends but fear too much time has passed?

No... I guess it's just me...

Thanks for listening,
