Welcome Gloria Noelle!!

On December 17th, at 9:48 pm, I had the beautiful privilege of witnessing the birth of my fourth grandbaby, Gloria Noelle. What a little darling, she is!! Here's a video of her when she was just 24 hours old.


My time in Orlando was delightful. Before Gloria was born, I got to spend a good bit of time with her big sister, Grace. Grace has a joyful disposition, with a ready smile and shining eyes. We had so much fun playing. Here are a few pictures of her.

Grace received a fun little "Garden Playset". She loves putting mail in the mailbox, going in and out of the gate and planting the vegetables in the garden. She played in here for such a long time. It's so fun to watch her begin to "pretend".


Gracie loves to snuggle and wrestle and rub her head against your head. This is one of our giggle sessions.


Gracie got her own little set of table and chairs; however, I think she enjoyed the box more than the set.


Here's a picture of the three generations of girls. I didn't have a chance to catch it in a picture, but Grace was so sweet to almost always give Gloria a gentle hug. She loved at us as though to say, "I just LOVE my baby sister!!"

I feel so blessed to have these sweet ones in my life. Scott & Kaye are wonderful parents. I witnessed and experienced lots of laughter in their home. Thanks to them for letting me spend the last week and a half with them and to share in the joy of welcoming Gloria.
