Tooth Fairy

All of you who read my blog need to read this.  I know it's not a Santa thing, but it hits the same sentiments.  Loved it.  This is from My Gallery of Portraits.

Well, tomorrow is surgery day.  I won't lie, I'm getting a little nervous.  Add to that, it's Christmas and I am no where ready for it.  My husband has a number of school activities I want to be there for. I don't know how the recovery will be and how it will influence all the extra activities going on this month.  I have been trying to prepare, but I could only do so much.  I'm trying to make my mind understand it will be alright, no matter what I do or don't do it will all be okay.   

Look I what I received in the mail. A lovely gift box from Gretchen of Mimi-Toria's .What a lovely package.

Kennedy was home when I opened the package and needless to say, she had to try the ring on.  Love her fingernail polish.

I think the word Fragile is perfect for the ring and the little hand that is so precious to me.  

Gretchen, thank you so very much for the beautiful ring.  I am wearing it now as I type.  

I don't know if I will be posting anything more before my surgery.  If not, I will try to get back with all of you as quickly as I can.  I have my new laptop, so I'm hoping that will keep me up to date with all of you.  

     

 

It's a Girl!!

Sonja is here.  This makes 11 grandchildren.  My husband had one granddaughter when we married 10 years ago this February.  We have 5 children between the two us.  I really never thought we would have so many grandbabies.  

Here are a few photos of us waiting (again impatiently).  This is Pops with Kennedy and Sydney (Sonja's big sister).

And here is the baby. Isn't she the cutest thing you ever saw.  Her little face is so tiny.  The sounds they make are so precious.  

  What a proud Pops.  He loves to smell the new babies. OK, he is a little weird, but I love him.  

Snow and Gumbo

Can you believe the weatherman has forecasted snow for this afternoon and evening.  For all of you "Northeners", we DO NOT get snow in Cajun Country.  Everyone down in south Louisiana are hoping and praying it really does snow.  Now, by snow, I am talking about, if we are lucky, to see it falling and maybe some will not melt when it hits the ground.  NO snowmen for us.

With that said, it is also time to make GUMBO.  Every good red blooded Cajun is making roux and stirring that pot of gumbo.  Cold weather and gumbo is like heaven.  By this afternoon each and every neighborhood will smell like this wonderful nectar.

 

I have already called my daughter and will be calling my daughter-in-law to discuss the snow forecast.  I know the grandkids are probably having a hard time staying focused in school today.

I'm going to get in touch with Jodie and Sarah a little later today to see if they have snow yet.  You see Jodie and Sarah live a little further North and West of me, so they will get the snow before me.  Like this I can get a little fore warning as to how long to wait for snow.    

Sidebar:  I just figured out how to link a blog to a name on my blog.  Hooray!!!

Now beware the following photos.  Look at your own risk.  They are pretty strange.

This little girl is my 4 year old granddaughter. Every Tuesday I pick her up after her dance class and we do lunch and then she comes home to visit with Pops and Meme.  This is what she was up to this past Tuesday.
Face paint is really something, don't you think.

Next we have what she can do with her Pops.  Obviously she can do anything she wants to do.

Love these two clowns.  What a proud Pops and Kennedy.

Look at this face.  Amazing isn't it?

Happy Snow Day to all of you.  Eats lots of gumbo and hug those little children.
