She's a GIRL...



Our first grandbaby has arrived.
July 11th, 2008
She's a darling-dumpling, sugar-plum, cuppycake-gumdrop!
We called her "Shelly Peach" before she made her debut because calling a baby "it" is not what I'm about, so I decided to give her a special prenatal name. It's a love name, a pet name, and I'm thinking it might even stick.

Her real name is Hazel Marie, named for her great grandmother.
I can imagine her with pigtails and bib over-alls walking through the pasture to Gramma's House for cookies and milk and a storybook. I admit it, I'm smitten.
Look at this book that I've picked out for her!



I think Hazel will have her copy and Grammy will have one at her house. Am I going to have fun or what? (She lives next door!!!)

    Congratulations! I was thrilled when my first grandchild was a girl.

    I immediately went to Amazon and started looking for used copies of the Brambley Hedge books. I could just "see" her reading them someday.

    Now she is six years old and has has three siblings but there will always be something special about her being the first... and a girl to boot!

    You are in for great times, Jody!! I'm so happy for you all. A priceless treasure to live next door. Ah, the tea parties, dancing, sugar and spice and everything nice. To experience the wonder of a brand new little gift from heaven is going to astonish you---it did me. Looking forward to hearing more!

    My grandaughter is the best thing that ever happened to our family. She lights up our hearts every time we look at her (or just think about her).

    Have fun! And congratulations.
