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...
Grandchildren fill a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.
The Lord has surely blessed our family with these five sweet kids and as you know we are getting a 6th sweet grandbaby.
Baby Starr is due May 29th. So exciting! My daughter and soninlove had a small family gathering for the gender reveal and needless to say the anticipation was high.
My niece made the cake and it was just simply adorable.
My
daughter wanted to keep it simple since the holidays are jammed packed
with so much going on so coffee, hot chocolate, and cake was served and
it was perfect for the Christmas holiday season.
My daughter chose to reveal the gender with a Christmas tree. She had pink and blue ornaments along with pink and blue lights on the tree. Of course no one knew what color of lights would come on until the lighting of the tree.
I think you could safely say once the tree was lit that.........
IT'S A GIRL!
We are very excited and looking forward to another sweet grand. Of course our one and only grandson feels out numbered for sure with all these gals in the family.
We are looking forward to #6.
Grandchildren make the world a little softer, a little kinder, and a little warmer.
God is good!
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Cindy, I love this post. We do love our grands. The young man will have to watch over all those girls. So he will be their hero. :) I thought the cake , coffee, and cocoa was a perfect refreshment for the gathering. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteSusie, I love what you said about our grandson being these girls hero because that is so true. We are blessed.
DeleteCongratulations!! Such wonderful and exciting news! I love the gender reveal party theme as a Christmas get together. You truly are blessed!
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather. We are excited to say the least. She has everything she needs from first daughter as their birthdays will on;y be a month apart. But you know this Nana already is thinking about something else PINK!
DeleteWhat a sweet way to announce another granddaughter! Our family is just the opposite, all boys and one little girl whose birthday happens to be today. Grandchildren really are blessings because we can spoil them and send them home. Your cup surely runneth over, Cindy! God is good today and every day. Praise Him!! Blessings...Sandi
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your sweet grandgirl Sandi. We are so blessed and yes our Lord is so good.
DeleteCongratulations, Cindy!!! I think you are going to have to get your grandon a male dog....lol
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a new baby coming along. xo Diana
LOL! He has dogs and both are girls! Bless his heart!
DeleteCongratulations to your daughter and son-in-love! These photos are superb! Oh, that cake. I am so happy for all of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet friend. We are blessed.
DeleteAwe, what a cute way to reveal the gender. The cake is just beautiful! What a fun weekend! May you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lea. We loved the cake too. So fitting for our bunch! LOL!
DeleteCongratulations on the new granddaughter! The Christmas tree reveal was a creative way to announce the baby's gender.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear friend. I too loved the Christmas tree reveal. It was perfect for this season.
DeleteCongratulations Cindy! There's just nothing like grandchildren, and another sweet little girl is such a gift. I know your grandson was probably voting in his heart for a boy, but I'm sure he'll be excited as everyone else when little Starr is born.
ReplyDeleteYour family is so good looking! But I'm sure you hear that all the time. God bless you and yours through this precious time of waiting for the birth of our Savior. He has done great things for us...and holy is his name!
Ceil
Ceil, my grandson was in so hopes it was a boy. The age difference is a lot but he still wanted a boy as on both sides of his family is nothing but girl cousins. But as Susie said, he will be these girls hero.
DeleteI love how parents are revealing if it’s a boy or girl. This one is really cute.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on #6!!!
Thank you Christine. We are very excited.
DeleteSo happy for all of you. Your family is beautiful... every one of you... I think it has a lot to do with the love of Jesus shining through! 💜

ReplyDeleteKitty, we are so very excited. I keep thinking about how the Lord has blessed us so! On my! Great are our blessings and so many we take for granite. And yes, that one and only grandson is special...especially since he carries the Conner name. LOL!

I know your family will be preparing their hearts to receive her...much like we are now preparing our hearts for Christmas and the Christ Child! Such a wonderful life changing event!! so happy for all of you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela. We loved the idea of lighting the tree for the reveal. So very fitting at Christmas. Now the cute little tree is in Big Sister's room for her to enjoy. She will just sit in front of it and look at it. LOL!
DeleteOH!!!! How exciting for you, sweet friend!!! You all look SO happy and excited! Just wonderful news for you, at this blessed Christmas season! May God bless all of you and let all go well and smoothly for the happy mama and baby. Oh, my, that little grandson probably does feel quite outnumbered! Bless his little heart. I am sure he gets lots of extra attention though, since he is the only boy and stands out as special! Sending love and hugs and big congratulations to all of you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Cheryl. Yes, that grandson is no doubt surrounded by women but he knows how special he is too. We are excited.
DeleteOh my goodness, congrats to you and your beautiful family on this wonderful news. My gosh your daughter - a mother of five and one on the way is jaw-dropping gorgeous. She looks no older than her children! : - )
ReplyDeleteI love the grimace on the soninlove with the reveal haha - you know he was hoping he and his only son would have more testosterone in their corner - but there's nothing like doting gals to spoil you rotten. I know they both know that, haha.
Wow - what a truly delightful party - I love all their awesome ideas. How on earth did your daughter find the time and energy to conjure up such a neat party? Love every detail.
I will keep them all in my prayers and pray for all good things come May for them.
Hugs. ♥
LOL Michelle, I have three daughter's and each of them has children. That youngest girl only has the one little girl and is expecting a girl. I have laughed and read your post to my daughter that is expecting. If this number 6 I can assure you her energy would be zapped! LOL!
DeleteCindy, what a sweet gender reveal party! Congrats on the 6th grand and another girl on her way! Your sweet family are all adorable! Blessings and hugs!
