My Darling Ella Claire

I have waited so long for this day to come!  My first grandchild!  My first fruit of my loom has presented me with a granddaughter!  Oh and she is so precious!  She has stolen my heart and is holding it in her tiny hand.  I could just cry every time I look at her.  Her face shows the generations of our families.  Her little feet and hands are identical to mine and her mama's.  Strange how that works out!  I so look forward to teaching her how to pick things up with those long toes!  lol

When I hear her cry she sounds like my daughters when they were babies.  That tiny little sound that you can't hear in another room?  Yep she cries like that.  So sweet!  And some of the expressions that cross her face!  Why you just know sweet angels and fairies are playing with her while she dreams.  I look forward to telling her stories about everything!  Our family, our history and just stories that have been told to me by our ancestors.

My dad told me we make perfect babies in this family.  I have to agree with him but it is a shame it took us three generations to achieve perfection.  I'll take it anyway it comes!  Yes, Ella Claire is absolutely perfect. 

I wonder what my mama would have thought about her first great granddaughter?  I bet she would have been jumping hoops to be here!  I know she would have knocked me down to hold her first! lol  I can hardly wait to take her around to meet all of our extended family members.  Yes I am already planning our first road trip!  Of course we will take Baxter!  Can't leave him at home can I?  lol

Haven't introduced Baxter to Ella Claire yet, we have plenty of time for that.  In the meantime, I'm just going to sit back and saute in the juices of Grandmotherhood and think about all those Grandmothers that came before me.

Well that's what I've been up to lately my dears, enjoy your evening!  As for me, I'm planning of having sweet dreams of my little butterfly! xoxo
