Holiday Greetings!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR

Beautiful!

The most beautiful smile I have ever seen! When my dear sweet granddaughter smiles at me, it melts me like butter! To any of you who have not acquired the tile of "Grandma" yet, trust me, there is no love like it! So strong and beautiful! There isn't anything I wouldn't do for this precious little girl! I feel like I have waitied my whole life for her arrival!

South Bethany Beach

We went to various beaches last weekend and this is a picture I took using my cell phone when we made a pit stop for Odie at South Bethany Beach. It looks so peaceful! I don't know if it looks cold, but it was COLD!!!

Odie's on a diet!

Poor Odie. He went to the vet last night and he has gained 10 lbs in one year! From 31 lbs October 2007 to 41 lbs last night! So now we have to cut back on the canned food and almost completely cut out table food. We can give him a little, as long as it isn't "scrap". If we wouldn't eat, he shouldn't eat it. He can have a "little" lean meat and veggies (without butter or fat). And NO ICE CREAM! Poor Odie!

What a wonderful day!

I spent the day with Emma yesterday. We started at church and then we went to Mama's for the afternoon and out to lunch. She is just such a sweet baby! And so good! She was very happy yesterday and kept giving me those sweet little grins! I just can't get over how much I love that sweet little girl!!!

GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!!!

No matter who your preference is - get out there and VOTE!!!
Voting is your right. And your only chance to have a voice. If you don't vote, you have no right to complain about who our President (or any other politican) is!
Ladies - MANY, MANY women suffered terribly to give us our right to vote! For their sakes, USE IT!!
See ya at the polls!!!

Emma's First Bath

She finally lost her unmbilical cord and we were able to give our little angel her very first bath!

We started with a trial run to see how she reacted to being in the sling. When that was successful, we went ahead with her bath. I think she liked it.

Welcome Emma!

Happiness IS!!!

Waiting for Emma

Well, DD's due date was yesterday and still NO BABY!! The funny thing is that they didn't think she would carry full term. She started having premature labor over a month ago. They just wanted to get her to 36 weeks. Well, that was 4 weeks ago!! Emma is determined to keep her Gramma waiting! LOL

I am really longing to hold that dear sweet little girl! It is odd how deeply you can love someone who you haven't met yet. I honestly think about her numerous times every day! There will be a post with pictures within 24 hours of her arrival! That's a promise!

Prayers and well wishes always welcome!

Please vote here: http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/70616/?refer=30296.14.1222172153.5194

Reminder: This is where we adopted Odie!

Still No Baby?!?

Well, DD still hasn't had the baby! She went into premature labor weeks ago. Her doctor put her on bed rest and gave her some medication to stop the contractions. When she reached 36 weeks (2 weeks ago), they took her off the medicine and immediately she was dilated 1 cm. Well, she saw the docotor today and she is STILL 1cm dilated. She will go again next Monday and if she doesn't have the baby before, she will go again on 10/6/08, which is her original due date. Little Emma is keeping her Mama and Daddy (and Grandma) waiting. Don't worry thoguh, everyone will know when she gets here because I will shout it from the roof top of NMH!! LOL

$1 Per Day Diet?

A couple named Christopher and Kerri are trying, for 30 days, to live off a dollar a day (each) for food. Their rules for this are;
1. All food consumed each day must total $1 for each of us.
2. We cannot accept free food or “donated” food unless it is available for everyone in our area. (i.e. foraging, samples in stores, dumpster diving)
3. Any food we plant, we pay for.
4. We will do our best to cook a variety of meals; ramen noodles can only be prepared if there is no other way to stay under one dollar. (We have six packages and will buy no more)
5. Should we decide to have guests over for dinner they must eat from our share; meaning they don’t get to eat their own dollar’s worth of food.

Interesting... I really don't think anyone in my house could eat on $1 per day. Maybe $1 per meal if we can use the McDee's Dollar Menu ;)

True Love Story

A story of reuniting ...
On our wedding anniversary, we went to the local crab house for dinner. WHile we were eating, a waitress runs by our table with a basset hound in her arms. Double take! Yep - a basset hound!
As it turned out, this little gal has been hanging around all day and had finally managed to sneak in the back door of the returant!
Well, Hurricane Hannah was scheduled to make herself known in approximately 18 hours and this little gal would be left out in the storm! DH & I took her home to keep her safe. This was Friday.
Hurricane related storms blew through all day on Saturday. Before it got too bad, I drove to the local Humane Society to have "Hannah" (our temporary name for her) scanned for a micro chip. They found none.
I called all the local vets, SPCA, pet shops, etc and let them know that I found her. I knew someone had to be looking for her. She was mostly housebroken and just the sweetest little girl! Even Odie fell in love (or was it lust?). Saturday continued on, not a word. Sunday of course was quiet, as most Sunday's are, except for the noise of a very young basset hound! Monday, I just knew someone would call. Nothing! Monday night, we decided we would keep her and if no one claimed her by the end of the week, we would take her to our vet.
Unfortunately - she had fleas, SO, WE had fleas! We treated her with Frontline. Luckily, she weighs almost the same as Odie and we could use his medicine.
On Tuesday, the SPCA called to tell me that someone was looking for her. I got his phone number and we agreed to meet at my house.When I walked in, she wagged her tail. When he walked in - she nearly through out a hip!!! She was wagging so hard! Tuens our, her name is "Callie" and she has a very loving family, consisting of Husband, Wife, 2 children, ages 3 and 6 and a cat! No wonder she had so much energy!!
I thought I would be terribly sad to lose her, but knowing that she went home to such a loving family sure helped. I actually felt great that I protected her from the storm and then was able to reunite her with those that love her most!
Good Luck to you and your family Callie! I hope you live Happily Ever After!!

Some call it FOOD...

I call it ART!!! LOL :-)

The Baby Shower was a Success!

Everyone seemed to have a really nice time and the Mommy-2B received some really terrific stuff! I think they are ready for the arrival of our sweet little granddaughter!. Her room is ready and waiting! I am getting so very excited now!

The pic here shows my first Diaper Cake. It was much easier than I thought it would be. And DD & DSIL loved it. Classic Pooh theme, of course, with lots & lots of baby goodies, including 74 diapers! lol

Now that the shower is over, maybe I can relax for a little while so I can be ready for the demands of being a Gamma! You know it takes a lot of energy to spoil a sweet little baby rotten! lol

Brotherly Love

Here is Odie with his "Brubby", our Son In Law, Corey! Sweet little Odie has come so far! He is really blossoming!
