Well, if you made it this far, thanks for hanging in with me. Hopefully, I will be posting more regularly.

Mother's Day Present

The kids made me this picture frame for Mother's Day.

Kristen had seen something like this before and thought it would be a cute idea for Mother's Day.
She helped Marley and Mason make three of these, one for me, one for Janelle, and one for Stacia (Janelle's mother).

I just love it!

Digital Project Life 2014, Week 15

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted, well actually done, my weekly Project Life pages. Between my new granddaughter, and getting a new computer, things have been a little hectic. Hopefully I'll get back on track.

This week's Project Life, instead of the usual two pages, is six pages. This is the week Miriam was born which, as you can imagine, generated a lot of pictures.

Dot and Steph

Paul and I took Dot to visit Steph today to celebrate Steph's 90 birthday (which is tomorrow).  They have been friends since they were teenagers.  In fact, when I came to live with my grandparents at 9 months old, Steph was living with them.  My grandfather gave her away at her wedding as her father was too ill to make the trip from New Jersey (where Steph was from).  I think it is wonderful that they have stayed close friends for so long.

Then.....

and now.

Meet Miriam Priscilla Radtke

Baby Miriam was due on March 31st.

Mason was born on his due date so we all expected Miriam, as a second baby, to be born AT LEAST by her due date. Not so.

Janelle woke up with labor pains on Sunday morning, April 7th. They went to the hospital around 10 am, but Miriam didn't arrive until early Monday morning, 2:49 am.

Mark sent us all this picture at around 3:15 am.  We were all so relieved and excited!

Stacia (Janelle's mother), Kristen, and I brought Mason to the hospital Monday morning, around 10 am, to meet his new sister.

He was so sweet with her. He wanted us all to sing Happy Birthday to her.

On Tuesday, late afternoon, they came home from the hospital. Stacia, Mason, and I were waiting outside on the front steps. The minute those car doors opened, he jumped in the car to see her.

So...now life begins for the family of four, and like I keep saying to everyone, we are all trying to find our new normal.
