On Becoming a Grandmommy . . .

My precious Annabelle Lily Wynn

How did I know my life would change

in the blink of her birth?

You hear the news about a baby coming into your life,

wait for quite awhile to see her growing

inside her mommy's belly,

you get the call that "It's time"

you wait anxiously at the hospital

with other family members

and then

you hear the precious lullaby song

playing on the loud speaker!

An overwhelming sense of happiness showers you

and that moment

when you get to hold her in your arms

for the very first time ... WOW

October 4, 2014

Well my precious girl is over 7 months old now

and our lives have changed truly

for the better.

So many beautiful moments to treasure,

and seeing her develop

and become more aware of her world,

communicate and smile

is beyond any words to describe it.
She is cautious, beautiful, a thinker,
intentional and bright.
She is seeing the world and
truly taking it all in right now!

I have found way deep within myself

a love I didn't know was even there

or that I was capable of giving,

but it is there, trust me.
How I love the name "Grandmommy"

I can't wait to see her walking and talking,

and running to her Grandmommy!

I can't wait to teach her all the things

I want her to learn from me.

For now, we will just dabble with

some paints and brushes

and see what we come up with!

A new phase in my creative life

Meet Annabelle Lily Wynn

I wondered what I would write about

on my blog this week.

It has been pretty busy around here,

as you can see!

Then I knew I wanted to share my good news

with YOU!

Our first grand child came two weeks early,

and we are all thrilled beyond measure.

She came into the world on her own time.

In just a blink of a moment,

when she was placed in my arms

for the very first time,

I knew my life would be changed forever!

I have already started a poem,

I keep revising the words ...

I will know when it is complete.

I have water colored some mini designs

for the nursery wall,

 of course knitted some hot pink ruffled booties,
and I can't even imagine how many
photographs I will be taking!

So you see, even having a new addition

to the family

there will always be avenues for creativity!

I can't wait till she is old enough to get

a paintbrush in her hand

and have some creative time at her

grandmommy's house.

I am filled with joy

beyond any measure,

for I know my life is truly blessed.

She is beautiful and healthy

and we have been given a treasured gift.

I look forward to showing her creativity in her life,

playing with paints, crayons, markers and so much more.

Teaching her that she can be anything she wants to be,

and guiding her to never be afraid to express herself

in whatever way she chooses,

for she is truly a special little spirit.

Welcome to the world

my little one

Annabelle Lily Wynn

(sounds like a fairy tale doesn't it?)
