Home again, Home again, jiggity jig!

My hubby came to PA and picked Hannah and I up to bring us home to Maryland after 18 days (Hannah was there 11days ~work and school). We were visiting my third son, Matthew Scott his sweet wifey, Natascha, cute son and new baby daughter. I had a wonderful time helping, laughing, cleaning, shopping, cooking, sewing and most importantly loving them all and giving baby kisses to Lorelei.

We had Thanksgiving together as Dave, Caleb and Rebekah came for the day to be with all of us and celebrate together. We have traditions.....and the traditions must go on. After our delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings, we go around and share two things. We name one person in our family we are most grateful for this past year, and why. Secondly, we share the name of a non family member we are most grateful for this past year and again why. Not a year goes by, without tears flowing. I have a Thanksgiving journal I have written down this info in over the years.

Was it hard to leave? Yes. And No. Yes, because I love them, love talking with them, being with them and being a blessing as they are to me. I am a baby person, always have been, always will be. I love babies. I really love babies. I love talking to them, holding them, rocking them, changing their diapers, changing their clothes, wrapping them up, burbing them, all things baby I love. Even doing their laundry and smelling their tiny clothes as I fold and put away. Like I said I love babies, especially mine, be them, my own babies or my grandchildren. I do love other peoples babies too.....if they 'share'.

So this morning I packed up my stuff. I hugged goodbyes. I kissed and kissed goodbyes. Then I hugged again. My sweet darling Joschua stood on the porch waving bye-bye to Grandma and Grandpa! Sweet! Very Sweet! We drove home. Here I am. YET ~ I have my pictures and my heart is very very warm. I am a happy Grandma!

Did I mention they are coming Friday for a visit? Yay! They will visit Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa McCurley too. We are so blessed!

Gratefully His, Lynette
