Happy Hearts

I've been trying for days to publish a new post...apparently the set up, etc. has changed or I'm even
more tech challenged then I realized.  Haven't been able to get my pictures uploaded, but will
just write....

HAPPY, Happy hearts today !  Our family is gathering at Camp and we couldn't be more
excited !  I feel as though I can never get enough of our "kids" and their loves .  And best
of all, our little ones will have time to romp and explore together !  Really, this is what
"camp" is all about .

Campfires, creek playing, sparklers and running and playing outside .  Time together, thank
you, thank you, thank you !

Thank you Mel, Jason, Chad and Selena, for making the trip here.  This Papa and Nanny have
HAPPY HAPPY hearts and open arms, waiting for you !

Beautiful blessings and Reasons

It's been such a long time since I've blogged and so many wonderful happenings/blessings have occured and I've wanted to share and document.  I'm sorry that I haven't gotten to this sooner, but I'm still all shiny happiness and want to share !

Our family was so happy to hear the wonderful news, that Chad, Selena and Grayer were expanding their family.  Music to my ears !  Rick and I were told the news, in a very sweet and fun way....We were in Tulsa and were viewing recent family photos they had taken and one of the photos showed Grayer holding a sign saying that he was going to be a big brother !  Months later, while in New Jersey, a pink bouquet arrived telling me , "BABY GIRL" and even more precious...., months later...that this new baby would have my name , "Roxanne", as her middle name !  Tears just "jumped" out of my eyes !  Pure joy ! 

Look at these happy faces !  All went well, and our beautiful Audriella Roxanne arrived safely and immediately won our hearts !

She's so beautiful and is definitely a dream come true !!  Our newest shining star !

Seems impossible to find enough words to describe...how perfect she is to us all !

Even big brother, Grayer,  thinks she's pretty special.....  and she ADORES him !  She is constantly entertained by him !

Mommy has a new shopping "buddy" and I can't help but smile thinking of the fun they will have !
Ahhhh, just love her happy little self !  Adorable, adorable, adorable !!

The months have just flown by and our little sweet pea is following the "pillow" tradition of having her picture taken each month for all of us to see.   How wonderful it is to see her growing and changing.

Yes, like I said, I haven't been good about blogging about the important and blessed happenings in our lives but hopefully I will be able to catch up !  This is my latest favorite picture of my favorite little grand-daughter :)  She is definitely shining her light into our lives !!
