Grandma's page today!

Here is "our baby boy" at 2 months old....photos received today from his mom!
We think he looks humorously debonair here!

Here he has finally found his fist....now he can quiet himself! His mom is so happy!!!!

Update from the front lines.....
Mom and baby have been sent to bed for 2 days to rest and bond. Seems that having constant visitors and a long weekend party may be lots of fun for the men and their friends, but wearing on a woman who has just given birth!!!!
(and on her mother too!)
This small photo is not a photo of my daughter (the first one is)....we do have many wonderful photos from the long Thanksgiving open house which my son-in-law and his dad were having....but they are on the other computer and no one has time or energy to send them this way at the moment....so I'll post some later!

I'm in favor of re-establishing the "women's tent" tradition from ancient times....when the new mother and infant were protected and nurtured for at least a month before beginning the party circuit!!!!

A cozy autumn evening....(artwork by Susan Rios, borrowed from Lady Laurie's blog, Song of the Sea)

A lot to be thankful for!!!!!!!!

Finally, we have had time to load a few photos onto the computer! These are from the day Baby Bindley was born. Here he is being held by his very competent big sister, Lilia!
this is when he is just too sweet!!!!!!!

We are still waiting for our "star", our little boy blue to come out and play!


this area has lots of distractions and attractions to keep us busy as we wait! Yesterday we went to the shops in "Old Roswell" (Georgia) for some browning, lunch and a few purchases. Daughter Laura is trying to walk a lot to get the" show on the road". I mentioned that the next full moon (which babies love to be born at) is the Saturday after Thanksgiving...this was not what she wanted to hear!!!!LOL

Later...(BTW the due date is Nov. 14th)

Reading blogs today, I found out that Carmen has a special fairy friend who now lives in a jar in her home. Of course, I think I need to make one to live with my granddaughter....this photo is from web images...not my photo! I bought a craft kit to help us get started....this one makes a fairy or mermaid, from a clothes pin....

One last impulse purchase (hey, waiting for a baby can make you crazy!LOL!) is this card game....with a crow on the cards...just because I like the graphic. Maybe I'll learn to play.

Exciting news for us today..........



Our daughter had her ultrasound and the results were......It's a boy!

(of course we would love either!!! and big sister is almost 8 now!))

I heard this news on my lunch hour and made plans to head to the children's department as soon as I was off the clock!

9 little outfits later.....in several sizes...we have pj's and play clothes featuring airplanes, the cow jumping over the moon, teddy bears and bunnies....sale racks are much easier than sewing!
So when the little guy finally arrives in November, he will not go naked for long!!!

Thank-you for letting me share on of life's fun little moments!

Now here is a fun test I just found on Carmen's blog (you can visit her from my comments...)
