Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
My sweet grandgirl turned 6 months old on October 9th and I truly think she is growing too fast. It just seems like yesterday that our sweet Adalynn was born.
Of course I am reminded when I look at my oldest grandgirl who will be 13 in April that time waits on NO ONE!
Here she is old enough now to be in our youth praise and worship band at church. REALLY? What happened to that little baby?
But our babies do grow up and quickly. This sweet girl has brought so much joy to our family. We call her our JOY baby.
If you look at her she will smile....
Sleeps 11-12 hours a night. Cries if she gets hungry and that's about the only time she cries.
And she is at that stage that she grabs everything...earrings, ears, nose and whatever else she can grab. But do you know what my favorite thing is that she does? She'll put those little hands up to your face and looks at you as if to say, "I love you soooo much".
YEP.....I truly am trying to savor the moments of this Circle of Life.
How many of you loved the Lion King movie? Oh I love that movie. Think I will listen to the song....The Circle of Life

Your girl is a real little sweetie♥
ReplyDeleteCindy, I know you are proud of your granddaughter being a part of the youth and worship team at your church. I love seeing these young kids get involved and especially with things that are GOOD and MEANINGFUL. That baby has not lost any of her hair. WOW! Such a pretty little baby and her smile is adorable.

Thanks Connie. Check your email...
DeleteWhat a precious little face! Babies are brand new little blessings that are gifts that keep on giving. Just like our children. When my hubby and I led a Young Adult group, all of our kids were in the worship band. Those were some of the best years of my life. Today, my little grandson is learning to play guitar and already is joining the worship team at church from time to time. You have beautiful grandchildren, Cindy! Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Awe thanks so much Sandi. Yes you are right. They are indeed blessings that keep on giving. Oh I know that you must be proud of your grandson learning to play the guitar. It is amazing how quickly these kids can learn. I have one learning to play guitar and one plays piano and sings. I am just so proud to have some musical talent in my family. LOL!
DeleteAwwwwwwww...thank you for the many smiles you gave me.😊

DeleteI love the Lion King, remember watching it over and over with my grandkids! Precious Adalynn...I would love to get sweet kisses from that little sweetie! Don't you just love to see big granddaughter in the praise and worship team? I have three grandsons that are on our worship team, I love to sit in the first row and just beam!!! We are truly blessed beyond measure.
ReplyDeleteThanks miss Mary . We are super proud of that grand girl singing on the praise and worship band . I'm so grateful she is using her talent for the Lord . Yes that Adalynn is precious . I try to kiss her face off . lol .
DeleteBoth granddaughters are super cute! I was curious about the baby and if she kept that dark hair and scrolled down to see that it is! The photos of both of them are adorable. Thank you for sharing updates on your family; I enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteMary she had not lost her hair . Amazing . And she has wild hair at that . Her mama buys gel to take it . When wet it jays in ringlets . I love it . Thanks for stopping by .
DeleteAdalynn is beautiful! And, what a great sleeper she is. Our youngest grandboy loves Lion King. He asks Pappy to watch it a lot! Sorry I'm late to visit. Yesterday got away from me.
ReplyDeleteCindy, this is such a precious post. Thank you for the reminder...time passes quickly...babies grow up and we go old. I don't ever want to take that for granted. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey.
DeleteCindy your little one is so adorable, I almost want to reach across the screen and pinch her little cheeks. She reminds me so much of my youngest who looked a lot like little Adalynnn. It is such a rich rewarding life we live when we take the time to savor the moments and enjoy the cirle of life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary. She surely is a sweet girl.
DeleteCindy, she is a little doll! Our first grandchild is almost 6 months, she has brought so much joy! Blessings, Pam @ Everyday Living
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. Oh I bet you are loving on your baby a lot too. She is our 5th one. Hope to get at least one more out of my girls. LOL!
DeleteOh my Cindy, so much cuteness. What a little angel. Your grandchild is precious. God bless her.

Yes, they grew all too quickly, Cindy! Your 13 and your grand baby are both adorable. I have my youngest staying with me for 4 nights while her parents are at a wedding in Mexico. They sure keep,us young, don't they? Have a blessed weekend, my friend.
ReplyDeleteAwe Kitty I bet you are having a tea party too! One thing about the grands...they will either keep you young or wore out! LOL! But oh I love them so.
DeleteWhat a beautiful baby and they do grow up way too soon. Enjoy and love on her as long as you can.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sylvia.
DeleteOh how sweet and adorable-both of your precious granddaughters! You are truly blessed! She just made me smile so much. Thank you for sharing with us! I had three boys and one grandson, so I've never had the joy of dressing up a little girl and enjoying her charms. She is a beauty!! They both are!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pamela. We have only one little grandson and four granddaughters. Needless to say we have lots of fun buying bows! But...that little grandson has our hearts for sure!
DeleteOh Cindy, she is just a beauty! Grands are such a gift, ENJOY!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen .
DeleteHi Cindy, time sure does go by so quickly! I just added a bunch of pictures of my grands and my son's wedding is linked at my blog too. Happy fall!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the pictures. Hope you are getting a little rest now.
DeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteO my goodness!! What A SWEETIE!!
She looks like such a happy baby!!
Thanks so much for visiting!!
Hugs,
Deb
Thanks Deb.
DeleteSo sweet and nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos of such a fun and happy baby. So sweet and I don't like it that they grow up so quickly. But then you look at that 13 year old singing praise and worship and really get some joy going there!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by.
DeleteOh what a beautiful girl! I know how much joy she brings you. Grands are the BEST! I just have one and he is the absolute apple of my eye ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am quite sure that grandson has you eating out of the palm of his cute little hands.
DeleteWhat gorgeous grands! The newest blessing has such a wonderful head of hair. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness gracious, what an adorable little girl your Adalynn is! And I totally agree with you about how fleeting time is. My own grandbabies aren't so much babies any more. *sigh*! I was watching Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass this weekend and since "Time" is a main character, there were lots of time puns and sayings. Though it's not meant to be a deep, thought provoking movie, it did get me thinking about what a gift each second, minute and hour are!! Especially when there's family around!! Hugs to you!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise . Yes time does go by quickly . The older I get the faster it seems to fly .
DeleteAdalynn looks like a precious baby doll - just beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. She is a doll.
