taking a break from ugly political landscape that is our current existence to share with my readers something of much greater importance. this week marked the birth of my first grandchild. miss laela noel joined us in this world at 22:48 on 24 august 2009. she weighed 5lbs 14oz and was 18" long.
she looks so much like her mommy, miss katerina scarlette, that it made my heart ache. she DOES have her daddy's nose and ear lobes, but other than that, she's pure katerina.
here are some pictures of here first few days of life. she is one very loved baby and her grammy could not be more proud.
i hope you enjoy the pictures as much as i am enjoying this little angel.
laela is the hope of my future and the promise of tomorrow.
Congratulations!
But the big question is, "How is Lala going to address you?" Will it be Granma? Nana? Tata? What will it be?

She's gorgeous, Heidianne. Big Congrats to her mom and all the family! Prayers for redemption of the kind of Republic we all once grew up in...

Aw, Grammy - what a sweet, little angel! Congratulations to all. You will truly find magic in every moment. The joy has just begun...

Oh, Heidianne, she's so beautiful!
And Katarina looks SO like you! This is a great moment, to see that new little American!
Any leftist CRAPOLA-ITE tries to indoctrinate her and YOU LET ME KNOW (as if her grammy wasn't enough of a threat!?)
Congratulations to the whole family! A new someone to LOVE....hurrah!

I am always amazed by photos of "mothers and new borns", as having been there, I know what a Mom goes through physically, but they always look so beautiful gazing on their child. Heidianne, Congratulations, you have entered the realm in real style. What a gorgeous grandchild!!! I just love this everyday miracle! It truly reminds us all that we have much to be fighting for (and grateful for!). Thanks for sharing your lovely, happy moment!

thanks ham - it's my pleasure - just wanted to give everyone a very real, beautiful, miraculous reminder of what we're fighting so hard to protect. sometimes i get down trodden and disgusted, but the birth of a new baby just sort of puts it all in perspective, ya know?

Absolutely. It's the little ones coming into the world that fill me with hope and the reminder that God is still very much in control, not the occupant in the White House. :-)
