Abi was born June 13th and arrived as any little girl might, with a burst of sweetness & joy. I had my foot to the floor as we raced across the prairies. The foothills rose under the tires just as Abi arrived.
What a wonder to hold your daughter's daughter......to see your daughter's eyes in that wee face. God's blessings are infinite and wonderful.
Family:
A grandbaby will arrive in about 1 month! I know Leah will be happy to give birth. The last month is long when you're the one carrying this ever larger bundle.
Spring:
Arrived early with warm, sunny weather. My tulips are so bright & colourful, but almost finished blooming. Last year they were still blooming in June (it was so cool)! It's very tempting to plant annuals, but I've lost tender plants to frost before June in previous years so I'll have to be patient. I did find vinca minor for the shade garden tho'. It's a hardy perennial and should make a lovely ground cover under the ash tree. The birds are singing their hearts out.....such a lovely wake-up song each morning. God must really love robins, He gave them such a sweet song to sing. We have a little family settled into the bird house on the clothesline pole! It is just sweet to hear the activity of busy domesticity...can't wait for the babies to start flying lessons!
Purpose:
I've started helping with office support for MEMO-Cuba. It's a volunteer NGO arranging for medical equipment and supplies to be shipped and set up in central Cuba. Physicians, technical and other medical volunteers go and teach the staff in the hospitals & clinics how to use the equipment.
......so much more to be grateful for, but I must get ready to take Mom to her doctor's appt.
Has it really been 9 months? Sheesh!
Well, the best news is that we're going to be grandparents. Every friend who is a g'parent has said the love is so different from your own children.......you love your grandchildren even more. How can that be? I can't imagine loving anyone more than our daughters. We'll find out in June!
Julie and Carter were "home" for a visit. It's so nice to chat around the kitchen table again. 
It does a parent's heart good to have offspring under their roof again. We had fun going for a sail, taking a day trip to Sleeping Giant park & Silver Islet, visiting extended family and old friends.
Soon Leah and Branden will be home for a bit too! yay!!
