There’s No Place Like Home
My new granddaughter, Leilah Nicole, came home from the hospital today. She’s been through quite a traumatic event in the last couple of days with mommy’s body ousting her from her warm and cozy little woom and shoving her out into the world. But she’s dealt with it amazingly w[...]
Dear Leilah – 4:07 AM
You’re here! And you’re adorable! You got here at 3:33 AM on January 14th. Mommy did an awesome job and barely made a noise the whole time you were being born. When mommy was ready to push, Nurse Shannon called the doctor and told mommy to hold on. But she didn’t t[...]
Dear Leilah – 2:16 AM
Your mommy is a trooper, girl. And so are you. Still 5cm dilated but Dr. Clark just broke your mommy’s water. When you sister was being born, almost 6 years ago, they had to do that too and it moved things along. Hopefully, it will convince you that you need to swim out and see us.[...]

Dear Leilah – 1:00 AM
Your mommy is 5cm dilated and 90% effaced and the contractions are coming hard and strong. She’s hanging in there baby and so are you. Daddy is right beside mommy waiting on you, baby. Come out and see us. [...]
Dear Leilah – 11:15 PM
Well, baby, you are trying to get out, that’s for sure. I think you’re using your fist to try to break mommy’s water but can you take it easy on her for a bit? Mommy is 3cm dilated now and, I know you wonder what in the world is happening, cause the contractions are getting[...]

If you’ve been following my blog up to now, you’ll be very well aware that I volunteer at my granddaughter’s kindergarten class for Center Time every Tuesday morning. As much as I blog about my kindergarten adventures, it would be hard to miss at this point! So this is a story a[...]
December Showers
The baby shower to celebrate the impending birth of my next granddaugher, Leilah Nicole, was a resounding success. We had some GREAT food (of course!) and I had almost 30 people ensconced in my little “cottage”. A good time was had by all. The cake was provided by Kelly’[...]
A Birth and a Death
Today I’m providing a venue for my youngest daughter and her husband’s baby shower to celebrate the arrival of my next granddaughter, Leilah Nicole. My oldest daughter is hostessing the shower but at the time the party was planned she was living in a 900 sq foot apartment with a room m[...]
A Wedding This Weekend
My granddaughter Mikayla’s dad is getting married this weekend. And as neat as that is for Thomas and Ashley (the intended couple), it’s even neater for Mikayla. Because she gets to be a princess again. When my daughter Kelly (Mikayla’s mom) and my son-in-law Andy got married in [...]
An Outstanding Assistant
Tomorrow is Cary Band Day. For those of you who don’t live in or near Cary or haven’t made the unfortunate mistake of driving anywhere near Cary High School on the one Saturday a year that Cary Band Day is held…it’s a big deal in our little town. The police close off road[...]
