I tag Meredith and Heidi! Go girls!!

First Grandbaby!!

Someone once said-"Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old". I'm so excited to be "Grandma" to a new little person. Lukas is such a sweety. When he was just a few days old, I was holding him as he slept and Alayna and I could see his eyes wandering behind his closed eyelids and his mouth form cute little smiles. As we sat there we wondered what he could be dreaming of. So, tell me---how can a baby just a few days old be dreaming and smiling with so little life experiences? We both came to the same conclusion at the same time. He was dreaming about his experiences before he came here to earth. They say the veil is very thin when one is very young. Wow! Lukas, to me, is proof of God's plan! I am so excited to be "Grandma"!!

This is my first blog so I'll keep it short. Joel and I are truly blessed. Our son and daughter and their families live within 2 mins. from us. Can't beat that! Especially since we are new grandparents. Lukas was born Aug. 18th to Alayna & Vincent. He is a doll, of course, and we're having so much fun just cuddling him. It brings back memories of when Alayna and Caleb were just babies. How time flies! I'm just so thankful that my best friend, Joel, is right by my side enjoying it! We really like it here in Nashville even though it is far from where we both have spent our lives. Just hope our business will flourish. I know we've been blessed in many ways. That's it for now- will write more soon.
