Yes, the babies made their appearance! Our daughter and husband are now Mom and Dad. Everyone is healthy and it has been quite a week. They are beautiful! A little blonde girl weighing almost 6 lbs, named Betty Jean (my mother's name!), and a little dark haired
boy, weighing almost 7 lbs and named Charlie Paul. I couldn't be more
overjoyed. And tomorrow our grandson Graham gets to meet his cousins.
I actually got a head start on the
30 in 30. I didn't feel like I was "cheating" because the point is to
paint every day for a month, and that's what I've been doing, knowing
there would be a slight interruption. So I'm looking forward to resuming
my paintings and posting them in February. Hope to see you all there!
Here are some pictures of these little gifts from Heaven!
Wow!!!!! Happy days, Laurie! Double blessings. Congratulations, my friend!
