    16 grandchildren for me!..They were all here Sunday to exchange Christmas gifts. What fun. Good food (lots of undiet food!), everyone happy (big thing), hours of gift openings, and we finished the evening with a white elephant bingo. Total of 26 of us here. My DS and DIL could not make it. They do not have children, so all the grands were here. What noise!!!

      Forgot to say I am praying for all the babies and their families.

        Batteries Not Included! Now there's a name for an art quilt, hmmmm

        Been keeping busy this afternoon with a clean up and using some of my left overs from other quilts. The following one was made from the left overs from a quilt I made forGranddaughter Myriah. When her little brother started talking he would pronounce it as, My Riah! And I think the two of them truly belong to each other, as she refers to him as 'my baby Junior' whenever she talks about his accident with fire. He tried to be a Lotti and walk thru the coals at 16 months. Long story, he's very much a survivor, and a true thriver!



        And a drawing of Junior a year after the incident.



        Off to get some supper.

          It's my way of dealing with being homesick. I really must set a date to go for my next visit, before I run out of energy. LOL

            Wendy, so glad Thomas Henry is here. When will you get to see him. Glad everything is ok.
            LuAnn, Where's home?
            Geneva, Saying a prayer for that new baby and Mom too?
            I have 6 grandchildren. Don't get to see any of them enough. Thank goodness my nieces live in town and I get to see my Great Nieces and Nephews nearly every week. There are 6 of them under 12.

            Comment


              Congrats Wendy! Glad to hear that mom and baby are doing well.

              Comment


                Oh Wendy, my heart was in my throat until I read the end of your post. So happy Thomas is doing OK.

                I have eight grands and all but Izzy were here to visit on Sunday. What a blessing. May be the only time it happens. They range from 20 years old to 4 months old.

                  Lois,
                  Home is with my Grandkids. They live in northern Illinois, northern Wisconsin , and the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. If they all lived here in South Carolina, or within 3-4 hours of driving, I wouldn't have the 'homesick blues'. I lived midway between all of them when I was in Green Bay, WI. I could go for the day if I left early and returned late, but I could spend time with them when I wanted to, or there was a need.

                    Ouch! Poor you, Debbie. I hope it heals quickly.

                    Hmmm...macho Grandma.....that's one I haven't heard yet.

                    Comment


                      What a crew, Ritzy. You could soon be a 'great'! Aren't they such a blessing. I think it would be nice to have them all spread out like that. Mine are all so close together if they all visit at once, I feel like I have a daycare going on at home. And, when they get older, all the graduations and wedding will probably happen at the same time.

                      Comment


                        Congratulations to all the family..........so glad everything turned out allright.
                        Have a happy time Grandma.
                        Hugs

                          Congratulations Grandma's everywhere (sure hope I don't join your ranks for quite some years yet!) As for babies not arriving when they supposedly should - well, they haven't read the books about what they are 'supposed' to do! :whistle: so they are making it up as they go along - just like the rest of us

                            I have 6 grandchildren ages 7 to 19 Didn't get to see any of them for Christmas, but my niece and nephew were here with their children, so I still kinda got a "grandma fix" My nephew's kids are 19 and almost 2, and my niece's is 8 so wide range :P

                              Congratulations Wendy!! I'm so glad everything ended up good for your new grandson. All these new babies lately, wow! Lots of little boys too. Too bad we don't all live close to one another so we could have a big quilter Grandma playday.

                              I hope it all goes smoothly for your daughter Geneva.

                                When will you be coming to SC again? Maybe we could get together for a cup of coffee.
