Grandchildren Galore!

How thrilled I was this morning when daughter Angela phoned to announce she is pregnant! She's estimating the due date to be late March, 2007. So, both my daughters are pregnant right now. Robin has nicknamed them 'rabbits'. Numbers 8 and 9 are well on their way.

Because of the timing, many of us are hoping for another girl. That would make 4 sisters/cousins so close in age that could grow up together as best friends. However, I look at my precious 3 grandsons and think another little boy would be fabulous. The truth is, all grandchildren are special and I cherish each one.

I see a busy year ahead of me! Robin and I will spend a week at the Texas coast in September, my cruise with friend Patty is in October. Allison is due in November and I will be helping her with the kids while she recovers from a C-section. Friend Cheryl and I usually have our week in a condo in early March, then I will fly to North Carolina to help with their baby, Ashton and Juliet. I just wish I could retire and be on the go all the time.

My life is so blessed. I'm surrounded by wonderful children and grandchildren, a husband I enjoy spending time with, friends that are so loyal, and two books about to go to print. Lately, every day has been like Christmas morning to me.

Thank you, Angela and Clayton, and Allison and Brian, for adding two more blessings to my life. I am so rich!
