OUR LITTLE BLESSING & AN ANNOUNCEMENT


Happy Tuesday everyone!
It is so hard to believe next week we will already be celebrating Thanksgiving and believe me when I tell you,
 we have a lot to be thankful for.
It has been a looong year for our family. Since April, when our home got severely damaged by that horrible hail storm, all we have done is work, work, work.
But, even then, we have tried to focus on the many blessings in our life, like our grandson.

When we thought we were never going to be grandparents, this little guys came into this world and changed 
our lives forever.
It seems it was yesterday we brought him home from the hospital after a huge scare during his birth.

 We are so thankful we were there to see him smile for 
the first time.


 To be able to celebrate his first Thanksgiving and Christmas with our little angel.



We are so happy to have been there to watch him turn one year old.


 And now that he is a big boy, he even helped his mom and dad move into their new home last April.


 But this little boy is getting ready now for the biggest job he will ever have to do.



 I can finally announce to the world, WE ARE GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS AGAIN! :)
We have known for several weeks now and we will find out the day before Thanksgiving if it is a boy or girl.

We are so overjoyed with these news and can NOT wait to have another little one in my arms again, so this year will end for us with the anticipation of becoming grandparents again. YAY!
 
Our new grandbaby will be here next April, and if it happens to be a little girl, I have already apologized to our son and DIL in advanced for the amount of shopping this grandma plans to do. LOL

Thank you all for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day.
Until next time!

    1. Thank you so much! My kids have never been in a hurry to have babies either. It got to the point I never thought I would be a grandmother. And here we are, expecting our second grandbaby. :) Enjoy your day!

  13. That is truly wonderful news, Maria Elena, and I am so very happy for you! You should do all of those "grandmother things" and enjoy every minute, because they do grow up so fast. My arms are feeling kind of empty these days since our youngest grand is 5 & 3/4 (just ask her, she came up with the number). As eager as I might be for my next stage, being a great-gramma, I am not at all eager for my oldest granddaughters to become mothers....I hope they wait a few years!

    Warm hugs,
    Carol
