The Beginning

So this is the beginning of my blog that I thought I would never get going.  (I am quite computor illiterate)  But with alittle pushing and poking from my daughter here it goes.  Of course she is helping me, you know they say two minds are better then one!  Well when you put us two and our brains together you still come up in the negative.  Lol!  After a couple calls to a friend I hope we got it going now!

We are the happiest grandparents of 4, three girls and one baby boy. 

Let me start with our first, and that is.....




Hailey,


She was our first grandbaby, the daughter of my oldest
son.  They live in SC, too far away for MeMe, and GaGa.

When Hailey was coming
into the world, my husband, I and two daughters were
on our way moving here to Florida. Oh how I wanted
to turn around and go back to SC and be there when
she was born. That did not work out with our plans,
but we were able to be on the phone right after her birth. 
She is now 4yrs old and looks soooo much like her
Daddy, and is just as busy as he is or was.
It's always the mothers curse that I love to put on them,
"When you have children of your own they are going
to be just like you".  That does come true :) 




Next along came Kylie






Kylie is our second grandchild.  She is my daughters
little girl.  She is almost 3yrs old at the end of next
month. 

She had quite a few problems that Candace found
out about when she was pregnant with her.  So we
were prepared for the worst, but not really knowing
what to expect. 

When she was born we were told that she had some
heart issues but not quite sure of what.  They found
that she has sideus inversus.  Which is that her organs
are flip flopped around to the opposite sides of what
they should be. 

With lots of testing, surgery at 1wk old, and no eating
for 3wks.  We got to bring her home.  Thank goodness
for the Ronald McDonald house where we had to stay for the time she was there.

As you can see she is a perfect little girl.  Well you see that smile?  That says watch me on the other side of it.  Don't take your eyes off her.  She keeps us all on our toes!



This is our third little grand daughter.
Her name is Leila, and she is now
2.  This is my sons second daughter.
Both of his little girls are very blonde
like he was when he was little.  It is crazy to look at them and see him in them.

What a sweet little girl she is, you don't even know she's around for as quiet as she is.  I guess she is quiet like her MeMe....Lol





And Finally...




YES!!!  We finally got a boy in the bunch.

This is our grandson Chandler.  I is one of our larger babies.  He came out a big whoppin 9 1/2 pounds.  And just has kept growing ever since.  Such a big boy he is.

Now he is 9mo. old and is getting such a cute little personality.  He is very shy and hides his little face in your neck.  VERY loving and is a Momma's boy very much!  His cry is so heart breaking when he gets upset and he will let you know when he is hungry.  And don't put food in front of him or try to hide it from him.  He smells it and will let you know about it until he gets some.  I have never seen a baby eat like he does, no more baby food for him give him the real stuff.  See he even likes the bones...Lol   He is such a joy to have around.

That is it for now on my grandkids.  I wait for more to come in the future so I can spoil them just as much.  Having grandchildren is such a blessing in our lives.  We could never ask for anything different other than to have them all live close by us.  I am so thankful to have been blessed with such a wonderful family. 

It is not always full of peaches and cream, with lifes challenges comes alittle sour milk every once in awhile.  And alot of times that sour milk is hard to handle.  But we are an eternal family and strive to live as Christ would have us live so that we can return and live with Him again.
