VACATION

LIFE IS GOOD...
We spent a wonderful week with family on the beaches of St. George Island. Our goal for the week was simple, eat, drink, swim and sleep. The group managed to do all four very well.

Not until you get away do you have time to realize the most important things in life are only an arms length away...(maybe a couple of blocks too!). Just realizing the beauty and calm of the ocean...away from phones and busy stuff. Knowing the all of the folks you love the best are there with you...

Life is good...until next year and we hit the beaches again!!

Pool time

Great weather, great friends, ...
What a wonderful evening we shared with the kids and good friends...we also shared our outing with the dogs...three labs of princely quality...
They swam, they ran, they swam, they ran...they slept!!!

There are few people in our lives that you can be yourself...Sandy and Mike...thank you for sharing our lives with us!!!

House hunting...

We have spent the last few weeks looking for that one house...the perfect house for parents and new child...of course there are limited funds therefore, limited houses.

We found the perfect house...quaint, warm, family friendly and a cool place for adults, whenever they found time to entertain. We were so excited. Finally, everyone loves the house, grandma, mommy, even Lisa, the realtor.

We call home to let the brood know, there is a house for the taking, right price...perfect home...and then...

Daddy to be, at home, pulls up the sexual predators in the area...in one quick click of the mouse, we went from perfect house to the den of antiquity.

The area is full of sexual predators, those that prey on the unknowing of women and young children...the apple cart was not only upset but sent wheeling out of control...

I have to say it amazes me that so many perverts disregard the human rights of others...it just isn't fair that a young family should even have to consider living a life secluded in a bunker in order to protect themselves from neighbors....UGH!!

Enough, I am thankful for the web that allowed us to keep our family safe. Learn about the tools that are out there and use them...the life you save could be your own or those you love...

Brody Robert

We were sitting at the pool Wednesday night and much to our surprise, Brody made his presence known...MB looks at us and says, "I believe he is awake"...Sharon and I swooped to her belly...hands on you know...

There he was...kicking...Hi Grandmas...we could hear him say...get me toys...

As he quieted down, I could only think of my Mom...she would have been in such awe...her most precious Princess, carrying a King...I had to smile as the tears fell, she would have loved him from the very day of conception, much as we all have...

Mom...this one's for you...

Ya Yas...
It is amazing how wonderful it is for our Ya Yas to gather. We always have great food, some tears and lots of belly laughs...

These are women that help to complete my Tapestry. We are all different...we all bring our own stuff to the table.

To my Ya Yas...now and forever...I love you!!!

FRIENDS...
Summer began this Sunday...our family surrounded us as we shared a wonderful Memorial Day celebration. We are so blessed by those we love and those that love us...

There were a few things I learned this weekend.

Sometimes it is too hot to eat. (Hard to believe)
I can only tolerate music for about 7 hours and then I move into a crazed zone of intolerance.
No matter what...family and friends make it all worth it.

That is a lot to learn when your brain is fried. That is something to write home about when you remember to do it...

Enjoy your summer...we are!!!

Brody Robert
The baby became a reality this week. I didn't think we would ever get to the sonogram room...we went in the front door and as we slid past the directory, "Dr. Juno...528", the eyes of a grandma...
We walked into the waiting room and there she was...my daughter, the boy has his arm around her and they are so cute. They immediately look up to see us because we were causing such a ruckus coming through the door. I sat down next to her and her fluffy stomach...at that time a yet to be determined grandchild...we figgitted and chattered until finally they came to the magic door and said "Mary Beth Foltz"...I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She and the boy rushed to the door as if someone could possibly take their place. The love of my life...

It was only a few minutes and the boy is coming to the door to get us...I knew by his grin...it is a boy...we scrambled to the room and gathered around the Princess as if she were holding court. I touched her leg and played with my baby's toes...

The tech was quick to start..."Here is the leg, there is the spine, here is the arm and hand, (waving at grandmas no less!!!) and there is the PENIS"...PENIS we screamed as if we had never heard the word before...I could feel the tears overflowing as I hugged the boy...and kissed the daughter...

Brody Robert was as much as born that sunny afternoon, May 23rd...a new angel to come into our lives...

They did good, the daughter and the boy...deservingly enough...the mommy and the daddy...

And of course...THE GRANDMAS....

Mother's Day

There are such mixed feelings this Mother's Day...a new life on the way which makes us Grandmas...missing my own Mom...who would really make a GREAT GRANDMA!!
I am thankful today for all the wonderful women in my life...my family, my Ya Yas, my friends...these women make up the Tapestry of my Life...
Thank you for supporting me, loving me...forgiving me and hugging me no matter what!!
I love you all...Happy Mother's Day...thanks Mom!!
