Children and babies....a family they make.

My darling children

born 21 months apart and all grown up now.

It's been over 30 years since I was expecting lovely daughter.

I can remember how I felt during my pregnancies.

Happy and content.

I remember feeling tired at times and napping during the day, 

something I cannot do now unless I am ill.

I was young and in good health.

I am so grateful that we were blessed with healthy babies early in our marriage.

I needed lots of energy to maintain the home and be a mom.

I look back fondly at our days of play.

We were very fortunate that I could be a full time stay at home mom.

We made difficult decisions and did without in order to facilitate this lifestyle choice.

I walked with the buggy everywhere...we had one car and Mr. HB used it for work.

I had to buy a second set of tires for that buggy as I wore the first ones down to the rims!

We lived very simply, partly out of necessity, but mostly because of the children.

I was devoted to them 100%

They were my world, my work, my pride and joy.

It seems like yesterday...

many yesterdays have come and gone.

Today as I sit here and write I can only wonder at the feelings that a grandchild will evoke.

I am certain that my emotions will well up and spill over.

The grandbaby could be born anytime now...the "official date" is June 9th.

Every time the phone rings I wonder if it will be my son telling me that the labour has started.

Grammy's ready and waiting.
