Come Rejoice!

After the death of my Father last month...it's been quite the roller coaster ride of emotions for my family to endure. With him being in the hospital being gravely ill...till him passing away...all through this my little sister had to deal with the stresses of expecting her first baby. 

Well, I'm happy to announce the birth of her healthy 7 lb baby boy!  I am so grateful to have witnessed him coming into this world, it will be a moment that I will always hold dear.  I'm still over the moon with glee just thinking about it.  & oh the minute that little man was put into his mother's arms, love at first sight for sure! I'm absolutely gleaming with pride for my baby sister...she's always been super special to me & to think that she's now a mother herself just renders me speechless.  She & my Brother-in-law will be, already are fabulous parents!

& wow, to think up till now Maddie's been the *baby* of the family, & she's 5 1/2! She's a giant next to my little nephew, holy cow, how quickly they grow! Speaking of which, Jason's going to be 8 this January. My oh my every day that goes by I feel like I have to take a step back & enjoy their childhood...Life just has a funny way by taking me by surprise sometimes going by much faster than I think.

I'm so very grateful that our whole family has something now to rejoice about this Christmas.  He truly is an angel sent from above  :)
