New Grandson:):):)
A few blogs back I mentioned my oldest son’s wife expecting this month, and my youngest son’s family also expecting a little one next summer.
Well, I used to be able to say “each of my children has a child”, and that meant I had 3 grandchildren. I can’t say that any more!
Tonight, at around 7:20 pm California time, my grandson was born. After a long night and day without much sleep, my daughter in law had her baby. She was exhausted. The baby is SO cute, and I even got to hold him! Becky’s mother is visiting here from Cyprus, and she held him for a few minutes too. Then of course, his daddy held him.
I’m tired too, went straight to the hospital after I left school, which was a 40 minute drive. Then at 9:30 I drove Becky’s mother back to their apt., which is a 30 minute drive northwest. Then I had to make a 40 minute drive home.
In the morning I have to go get Becky’s mother and bring her to the hospital (my son stayed overnight at the hospital with his new little family). I have to do homework and correct papers this weekend too… wow, oh yes and then there’s some Christmas shopping I need to do.
This next week is the “last” week of school before Christmas vacation. Yay!
Love to all this weekend,
Gerrie

Hi Gerrie,
CONGRATULATIONS! Sounds like you had a lot of commuting to do. I think that Greg and I finished up our shopping today may pick up something here or there but if we don’t I think we will be ok. Just have to go shopping now for groceries and baking supplies.
Love ya, Darlena
That’s the BEST Christmas present! wow….lots of love!
Congrats on the little one! Sounds like a long day for you, but what a thrill to be able to hold your grand-baby. Hope the weekend gives you enough time to do schoolwork AND rest. I’m saying the same thing to my wife this weekend!
Congrats!!! that is wonderful new baby and everyone doing very well! Praise the Lord!! Yes, I hope you get a good night sleep! I have half of my shopping done so end of the week my husband and I will get our daughter’s gifts! Its been very windy and really cold here.
Have a bless week!
Gerrie,
Thanks so very much for your heart filled comments…..No, I am not ashamed of my tears…I do know it is natural and God understands….I guess I didn’t elaborate well on one point….I have not ministered in song since my Dad passed….I had no desire to for a long time (usually I sing 1 or 2 times a month) but recently I have been thinking about it but as I hear certain songs I have cried alot, even as I have practiced….I sure don’t want to break down while singing a special!! I don’t want this to sound vain or prideful, I just want the time to be right so that when I do a special, He is glorified, I don’t want to be what people see breaking down….does that make sense?
I appreciate your heart so much and you are loved too!
Blessings to you and can’t wait for Christmas break from bus driving!!
Mike
Gerrie,
Thanks for your sweet comments today and for understanding….Mike
Just catching up on my Xanga friends, and am so overjoyed to hear about your new grandbaby…congratulations! What a joyful gift at Christmastime. Give him a kiss from your friend in Arkansas! God bless you, my friend. And y’all have a Merry Christmas!
How exciting!! Great Christmas present from the Lord. Thanks for wanting to stick around and subscribe to the new site. Take care and Merry Christmas ~` janet
1. Congratulations on the grandbaby! How exciting! . . . and another on the way, too!! I about wore myself out just reading about your busy time of traveling. (One way to fix that is to have one’s car “go out’ on one…. we were car-less for a week, & then the dealer gave us a loaner for the last week. We got our own car back on Friday morning, though.
