Isn't she just "SOMETHING?"

Well, I have been a grandmother for three weeks and I am simply loving it! Our little bundle has acclimated herself to her mommy. Wendy has taken to motherhood like an old pro! I am so dang proud of her. Avery must be like her daddy! He can relax very well, and so can she. I can't believe how she puts up with his antics. ( loud drumming noises he makes and throwing her around like she is a pound puppy) She is getting to know her grandma P who has been visiting from Sheboygan. She has won the hearts of her Uncle Lance who nuzzles her with his beard and her Aunt Abby who wants to already teach her to dance. Many of Ty's bachelor friends are getting acquainted with this new soft little pink being who has nestled into their hearts. Now I am wondering if this might speed along some of their future plans?...

And then there is me. I think of her often throughout the day. I have had converstations with Bruce in my head and outloud on how wonderful she is. I can hear his remarks, his laugh, see his pride beaming as he watches as I watch our firstborn be a DADDY. I know that tears would have filled Bruce's eyes as they have mine as we see this evolution of human-ness take place. I am trying to stay away and give them lots of space, esp. since the other Grandma is here. I have found many excuses to go visit (take them some food) and they did come over on Sunday for the first time to GrandmaT's house for lunch. Some of our friends called and said they were going to go visit, so of course, I found time to go along and be proud as a peach as they oogled and awed at this beautiful baby. I said to my friend, Deb last pm as she was holding her; "Isn't she just something?" and she said, "yes, she really is!"


THis morning, as I drove over to Baldwin for the day, I couldn't help be filled with all sorts of emotions. First there is this beautiful day just staring at me through the windshield. We are so fortunate to live in Western Wisconsin. It truly is scenic America, it too is 'Something'...

Lance gave me the PLANET EARTH DVD's for Mother's Day. If you haven't seen this series on PBS, check them out. We have spent hours viewing these beautiful films on our planet and it's wonders. It too is 'something'!

Sometimes, we let some things get in our way of seeing the real picture. Today, think about the things in your life that cause you to exclaim, "Isn't that just something else!" and count your many blessings. Deb
