Birthday Blessings

Last week I hopped a plane to visit our boy and his family and to celebrate a special birthday!

This little nugget is just delightful!

Such a fun age!

Full of ideas and imagination and joy and adventure.

The best kitchen assistant ever!

We made gallons of lemonade for our picnics. LOL

Bath time is a family affair. LOL

Build-a-Bear adventure!

TLC was administered immediately

 We were getting ready to go to the wildlife zoo and mama put this cute outfit on her. Apparently she's grown and the top is now a crop top. Daddy commented: She just turned 3 today. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. LOL. Laughter ensued and outfit was changed.

Such a sweet day


Hip-Hip-Hooray!


I loved capturing those everyday special moments


And the Corn Quilt was a hit!


I savored every moment

There are only 2 daily flights into the nearest airport and one of them arrives at 11:40 p.m.. Flying over Lubbock at this point.

By the time I got home and took a shower it was after 1 a.m. and then it was back to town the next morning for work and up again at 2 a.m. on Tuesday because it's spring branding season and DH left at 3 a.m. to help the neighbors. Whoever said things would slow down when empty nest season arrived lied! OYE! This Gram is pooped! But her heart is full!

I am 100% homebody and hate to travel. Our son-in-law is an army helicopter pilot. Every time they move I pray, just a little bit closer. First transfer was Alaska and we live in Florida! Next was Colorado and this involved over half a dozen drives from Florida. I hate to fly. And the most recent move has them settling in Virginia. Just a 2-day drive from here...Thank you, Lord! They are definitely getting closer each time. Our daughter started having children rather late in life. So we take every opportunity to make memories with our 8, 6, 3 and 1-year old grandchildren. We won't get another chance.

Your granddaughter is just beautiful! Was there ever a doubt her corn quilt wouldn’t be a huge hit! I see she had a corn birthday cake too! Glad you got to visit!
