March for Babies...

We had a wonderful time in Arkansas. Eden Jade spent 5 nights with us. She thought it was pretty cool; she slept with Granny on the big bed and Pappo slept on the couch. Amazing what we do for our kids and grandkids. She is getting taller and is losing her baby look. I look at her some times and tears fill my eyes. She is such a blessing! She has come so far…

The first night she stayed with us when we went to bed, she wanted me to sing to her. And I asked her what did she want me to sing Jesus Loves Me? or You Are My Sunshine? or and she said no Granny, the Eden song. I had to think a minute then I remembered I had sung it to her one time when I was rocking her…basically a little tune that I make up as I go… Granny’s got a baby, such a pretty baby; Granny’s got an Eden, such a pretty Eden…and so on. I was surprised that she remembered it. I used to sing it to Janice when she was a baby only with Mommy. I told Jan about it the next day and she said “that is funny because I sang that to her when she was in Children’s Hospital before I could even hold her and then after when I would rock her.” You never know what children remember and what is special to them.

I know what is special to me and that is March of Dimes. They are all about research and Premature Births. Without their research and God’s Hand my grandbaby would not be here. We are walking again this year in Little Rock for March of Dimes. If you are interested, please click on the banner and join us in saving another baby! Any amount is not too little!

I'm Back...

Just checking in. We had a wonderful time in Arkansas. I will share our fun times at a later date. Kinda under the weather, I think I may have an upper respiratory infection. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. Anyway, I can't wait to get caught up reading all the blogs and find out what has been going on in everyone's lives.

Hiatus in Arkansas

Hubby and I are off to Arkansas in the morning. My birthday is this coming Thursday, so what better way to spend it than with family and friends. There is a little girl named Eden Jade that is looking forward to Granny and Pappo coming to visit. She will be 3 in July going on 13. Every time I look at her, I Thank God for bringing her so far. She had a rough beginning, but you would never know that now. She has such a little personality!

Since we are staying for 2 weeks, we will get to see our grandson Cain. He stays with his mom a week then his dad a week. He is seven years old, and very inquisitive. He loves to play Poppit on Pappa Stan’s laptop with his assistance. I am sure I will have several pictures when I return.

And of course I love spending time with my daughter and son-in-law. Janice is one of my best friends and I miss her something terrible. It is a good thing we have mobile to mobile on our cells, because we talk at least every other day. I will try to check in when I can, but we do not have Internet hook-up at our house down there. I will miss everyone, but it will be a nice miss, cause I will be having fun spoiling a little girl. See ya in two weeks...

This was taken while she was in Children's Hospital in Little Rock. She had already had her surgeries and a blood transfusion. At this point she had not been held yet, well at least not by us. I know God was holding her in the palm of His hand close to his heart from the time she was born until her momma could hold her the first time. She was 3 weeks old.

These were taken at Christmas. She is a happy go lucky 2 1/2 yr old. The one on the right is her and her bubba, Cain. Her hero!
