Addyson and Aiden

A lot has happened since I last posted here. My father passed away in July, he had liver cancer and went to Emory University to have surgery and bled to death.
Aiden was born on my Dad's birthday, October 8th of 2010, I hate that my father didn't make it to see him.
In March just 10 days after my birthday my oldest daughter found her daddy deceased, it was horrible for all of us, especially her. He had left when I was two months pregnant with our youngest daugter and wasn't in their life until just two years before he died. He and my girls had made ammends, he had apologized to them and to me for leaving us. We became very good friends and would talk everyday. He was always there when I needed him and he tried so hard to make up for lost time with the girls. Ken was only 47 and had diabetes, and was in poor health. But no one expected him to die, as a matter of fact when my daughter could not reach him she thought he was out at the pond fishing. After a while of not being able to get him on the phone she decided to drive to his house.
Aiden is now three months old and just adorable, he is beginning to make little cooing sounds and sounds like he is trying so hard to talk. My grandbabies are what keeps me going, I don't think I would make it if it wasn't for their sweetness in my life. Addyson is 13 months old and walking everywhere. When we had her first birthday party she had so many friends and presents it looked like Christmas.
She is such a little stinker and snappy, and has such a funny personality. She loves for me to laugh, she gets excited and laughs too.
Addyson and her mom live with me so I usually get to see her everyday, but Aiden's mommy and daddy live a good little distance away so I only get to see him about once a month. So when I see him I have to get lots of sugar to make up for lost time, but he doesn't seem to mind, he is very affectionate.

Waiting for Aiden

A few months ago I became a grandmother, and now I know why it is called grandmother, it is certainly grand to have a grandbaby.
My first grandbaby will be seven months old in just a few days, wow how time flies, it sure doesn't seem like it has been that long since I was waiting on her arrival. It seemed as if the days went by so slowly, waiting, anticipating, thinking about what she would look like, how much fun it was going to be.
Now here I am again, waiting for Aiden's arrival; my youngest daughter will soon bless me with a grandson and I am so excited. The excitement of seeing my daughters' belly growing a little more each month and getting the reports when she goes to the doctor.
Today she brought in some more ultrasound pictures, oh he is so cute, growing so fast and getting ready to meet his mommy and daddy, grandma, great papa, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Addyson will have a boy cousin to protect her, not that I think she is going to need protection, as far as I can tell she is going to be a little rounder herself.
Aiden is due to arrive in October, since my dad's birthday is October 8th, my daughter is wanting to be induced that day, hopefully he will arrive that same day. As with my first grandbaby I will be in the delivery room to cheer him on and greet him when he arrives.

Me A Grandmother


Recently I found out that I am going to be a grandmother and I cannot wait, but I guess I will have to. My oldest daughter is going to make it happen. I have two girls and I kept telling them I want a grandbaby, finally one of them took me seriously!

As a child I had grandmothers but not the way I think of a grandmother, my mom's mother still had children at home while I was growing up, she had ten children the youngest one is only six years younger than me, yep he is my uncle. My grandmother on my dad's side was hell on wheels and she picked my oldest brother to be her favorite, so that left me out all around.

When my grandbaby gets here I am going to be the best grandmother in the world, at least to him/her. I don't want to spoil it rotten but he will sure know that he is loved by his grandmommy. This will be my first grandchild so I am so excited I can't hardly stand myself!
