TRAVEL

Yeah!!!! I am so excited. I will be in Virginia in two days. I can't wait to see everyone, but of course, especially Jimmie. He is growing so fast, and I am missing sooooo much. Our time together is very precious to me. I can hardly wait to hold him and squeeze him and listen to his cooing and see his little smiles. Yeah!!!!

Family reunions

We just went to my family reunion this week end. We had a really good time. This is my fathers' side of the family, and it is held in Barksdale, Tx. That's between Uvalde and Rocksprings on the Nueces River (if you want to look it up Ha!) Jim and I went down Friday and TJ came down Saturday. My brother and sister and I were all there at the same time for the first time ever. It was sooo much fun. We took my sister's 3 year old granddaughter swimming in the river, she is the cutest thing. It was fun to try and figure out which young people went with which older relatives.

This has turned out to be a summer of family fun. Last month my kids all came home on Father's Day weekend (it was a surprise for me, go figure). It was like Christmas in June, then the family reunion in Barksdale, next week I am going to Virginia to see Tiff, Shaun & JIMMIE, and in Sept. we are having another family reunion of my Mother's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren & great-great grandchildren at my sister's ranch. I am having such a good time. !

And last night, we got to babysit for McKenna. She is so precious. She grows bigger everytime I see her.

Well, I think that catches me up on whats been happening around here. Life is sooooo good!

SHE'S HERE !!!!!!!

Welcome to the world, baby girl.

I have been very remiss in posting about my second grandchild born in the month of May. Can you imagine? First two grandbabies born 3 weeks apart? I have been very busy, so please forgive the time lapse.

ANYWAY-----McKenna Sky Franco was born May 23. She is the daughter of my son and daughter-in-law (Paul & Jenny). She was 7 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches long. She had a pretty hard time getting born and was sporting bruises for a few days. Her mom ran a fever through out her labor, but she was a real trooper, and never lost her beautiful smile. She is one tough lady. McKenna is the most precious thing-Really. She has beautiful big eyes and lots of light brown hair. I am a VERY lucky woman, and I am most grateful for all the blessings we have received, TWO perfect babies and TWO healty moms.

And---I have decided on my new name. Oma. I think it's german for grandmother and literally translates into "old mother", which I like. It's also short and easy for toddlers to say.
