Ella’s baby sister is here!


Ella holds Molly while Pretty and I swoon over them

Molly Iris James was born Wednesday, January 26th., at 1:42 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and is 20.4 inches long. Ella loves her “Lolly.” Pretty and I love them both.

Before Ella was born 2 years ago, my doctor told me having a grandchild would add 10 years to my life so last week when I was in his office I asked him what would 2 granddaughters do? He looked at me and asked how old are you now? When I said 75, he said without blinking, “15.” I’m good with that.

Whether 10 or 15 years, 10 or 15 months – I’m thankful for experiencing the joy of our family with Pretty. Unbelievable joy, indescribable happiness we can share together. It’s been good for the soul – a gift from the Great Spirit.

Today while Molly napped, Ella pretended to be me. Hilarious.

What did you do today, Naynay?

      I know I’m blessed, and I am grateful. Thank you for being happy with me!
      She’s so funny about wearing my glasses – and you’re funny to say she looks like me!

    Wowzer — congrats all round! Seems like Ella is well grounded and the arrival of Molly is being greeted with joy. Hope Pretty 2 is recovering well.

      Yes, thank you for asking. Pretty 2 is recovering well but Ella is somewhat aggravated that her mother can’t pick her up! Ella stays aggravated with me – I haven’t been able to carry her for months!! Pretty is a good one for that…she carries furniture around all day so the baby is a breeze!!

        Good to hear Pretty 2 is doing well. Glad also that you’re not trying to carry Ella 😀

      Thank you mucho, Ann! Ella’s off to a good start – she thinks the baby is hers – and in many ways, I guess she’s right! Regardless, we enjoy the show. Wish you were here!

      Thanks, Luanne!! I rarely use the word blessed, but for now I really think I feel it. Family is wonderful – and you would think Ella is a hoot – she is spicy like Pretty!
      I wish the same joy for you in time…
