Good News Indeed

Discovering the 'panno'.

Heather is about to give birth to a little girl, and I couldn't be more thrilled. It will be my first granddaughter. Indeed, she is due any day now. She's a strong one, like a little ninja baby. There is no room left, so she just has to come out and see the world. They came to visit us for New Year's Day. Here is Weston, age 2, discovering grandma has a piano.
Heather recently flew to Italy to do a wedding. But I am happy she came home to have the baby.

When Heather Comes to Town We Don't Mess Around

My daughter came to visit with my grandson in tow while hubby went to a business conference.  We had a blast shopping and going to the park and eating out and enjoying all the cool stuff S. California has to offer.  We spent one day at Downtown Disney.  Another day we roomed antique malls in downtown Orange.

Guess Who Came To Visit Me Today

They stopped by on the way from Arizona to central California.  We went to breakfast and then went to the park so the kiddo could run around and wear himself out before the long drive continued.

Grandson Turns One

My grandson just turned one and I had a fantastic time on my trip up to see my daughter and her new house. I guess I forgot to drop by my blog and show all of you.  I took tons of photos. Both my daughter's brought their families. I got to see people I haven't seen in years. I want to move back there so bad but my boyfriend will have none of it.
As soon as my daughter gets settled in I'm sure she'll open her photo studio and art gallery again.

Grandson and Daughter

I got to visit Heather's new art space and they were right in the middle of rearranging it for a Shakespearean play. I got to visit my new grandson too.  Heather is juggling being a mom, an artist, a theater manager, a wife and an entrepreneur. I don't know how she does it all, but I wish her the best of luck.  When I was there she was doing another interview for an upcoming wedding photo shoot. Go Heather.

Say Hello to Weston

My grandson was born yesterday after about 60 hours of labor. I was on pins and needles let me tell you.  I'm happy mother and baby and daddy are now resting comfortably after the long ordeal.  The hospital is even treating them to a steak dinner tonight. I can't wait to see the little tyke.  Well, not so little. He weighed 10 lb.s 4 oz. when he was born,  Three ounces more than his mother when she was born. The Dr. said it was the second largest baby she'd ever delivered by the normal route, and the other one was only 1 oz. bigger.

Weston is my 2nd grandson. My other daughter has a son named Hudson. I guess they'll have to name the next baby Preston or Madison.

In other news, Heather is almost ready to open her art and photography gallery in downtown San Luis Obispo, CA. She's going to be one busy bee.

Grandson Number Two is On the Way

Heather is in labor. Her sister Tiffany is with her to be her birth coach. Kyle is there too. I think one of his sister's in there. Heather sounded tired on the phone and that was at 5:30 PM. The baby is expected at midnight, Dec. 3, the very date I  predicted a few weeks ago. I also think his hair will be blond and he'll look like his daddy.  We'll see. I wish I was there. But my boyfriend just explained all the reasons I'm not, namely it's 300 miles away, taking the train is a hassle, and I have no where to stay and no one to go with.

At any rate, my heart is with her, and I'm waiting by the phone for any news.  But I'm not sure anyone will call me, because I didn't specifically ask them to.

Family visiting

I'm so excited. Both of my daughters are coming to visit next week and bringing the grandson. Woot! My older one has a business meeting down here so she's bringing the other one along. I haven't seen the baby in a few months and they grow so fast. My apt. is an art studio so I'm going to have to do some major rearranging to have company though. I can't even squeeze three more people in here right now.
