Birth, Birthdays, Blessings.....OH MY!

Nothing like closing out the year with the birth of a new grandbaby! The Steward household has a new member; a beautiful baby girl! She was born December 28th, making her entrance into the world in an unexpected hurry!!! Thanks to the 3 special doctors who put their heads together and made all the right decisions for little Mazie Grace (and mom!)

Happy Birthday to our youngest daughter, who turned 30 on December 29th. Happy Birthday to our youngest son who turned 34 today, January 1.

And, A Big Happy New Year to all.

Thomas.

Thomas is growing up fast! (2 1/2 yrs. old). He had a ball at the river this past weekend....I just had to share the cute photo!

Tea For Taylor. Harley For Thomas.

My granddaughter, Taylor (2 1/2) is quite observing. There's a local restaurant near our home where I often swing through to get an iced tea. When she is with me, I order one large unsweet and one kiddie cup, sweet. A few days ago, I made the turn toward the restaurant. From the back seat Taylor pipes up: "Going to get tea, Gram?" I laughed, "Yes, baby, Gram is ready for some iced tea!" She was watching closely as I pulled to the speaker to place the order. The girl is taking my order when from the back seat Taylor begins hollering: "Taylor wants SWEET tea! Taylor wants SWEET tea!" I died laughing and was amazed at the same time, as the week prior they had made an error....giving both of us unsweet teas!!

Thomas, (2 1/2) is much quieter than Taylor, and all boy!! Fom the time he and Taylor were born, I bought all sorts of sweet baby books, anxious to rock them and read to them. Taylor ADORES all the books and listens intently. Thomas, however, was never interested. He looked at the books and frowned up his nose. One day when I had both of them Taylor began pulling books from the shelves, ready to read. She was trying to cajole Thomas into participating as she patted the floor beside her saying, "Pawmus! (Thomas) Sit here! Gram read! Sit here, Pawmus! C'mon, Pawmus! See this book, Pawmus? Gram read to Pawmus and Taylor!" Thomas stared at her, saying nothing, then took off running toward his Grandpa's media room. Within seconds he returned with a large book of his own: Harley Davidson. To this day when it's time to read, Taylor gathers nursery books and Thomas runs to get an Auto Trader or the Harley Davidson book!

Melissa and I recently took them for pictures:

I Guess God Will Show Me.....

"Mom, I realized today that I don't know what to do with my life."

Melissa spoke these words to me about three months after her successful surgery. When I asked her what she meant, she replied, "I mean, being sick, I couldn't even think about my life, because I had no life. Now I am wondering what in the world I am going to do with my life." And then she added, "I guess God will show me."

And He has! (And continues.)

Here is one thing that has happened.. ©
