Hello fellow Hubbers!

I just could not wait to tell you all, that my seventh grandchild... an adorable little girl has been BORN!

While I was floating around carelessly in the Caribbean this last week (Wednesday), one of my sweet daughters, Laura -  gave birth to Lilly Elizabeth Ann, by cesarean section.  Seems as both her girls are a bit on the stubborn side when making their grand entrances into this world:-)  Breech!

We are so grateful that both mother and daughter are doing well and now at home resting comfortably.  Papa and Nana are anxiously readying ourselves to go and meet Lilly this afternoon for the first time.  I can hardly wait!

I just know she needs me!  Being a Nana is the joy of my life and the icing on the cake of all that any mother goes through with her raising our own little ones.

It is a grand circle of life, in which I am so blessed to be engaged with at this time of my life.

Thank you all for allowing me to share our joy of this blessed event!

yeaaaaaaaaa   now the fun begins.   goodbye sleep, hello joy!   miles of smiles going your way!!

Thank you all for jumping in so fast and shouting back your congratulations!  This is really what "life" is all about... is it not?

Yes Peter, I expect that if she is anything like the other women of my family, she just might have one or two opinions to share with any who are willing to listen:-)

And this is precisely why I just love all my girls...

Of the seven, I have only ONE amazing grandson:-)

Only one grandson so far!
And I must say, you look awfully young to have grandchildren:)

Congratulations!  I'll bet baby Lilly is just beautiful!  All the best to you and your family!

Hi donna:-)

Yes, only ONE boy!  But, I still have hope for more...

Thanks for the compliment on my youthful appearance.  LOL 

While on our trip that we just returned from last night, and on a tour of St. Marten - I announced the news to everyone that  I had just received, of Lilly's birth.  The cute tour guide was in shock that I was even a grandmother at all and made a ridiculously big deal out of the fact that, (in her opinion)  I was the youngest grandma she had ever seen!  LOL  She was "showing me off" to people...  rather uncomfortable really.

Of course my husband was cracking up totally and I played along and just smiled smugly ( at him :-)

But I am old enough and all is legal!  LOL  Good genes I suppose.  Thanks to my own mum.

Congratulations!!!

Steph -

I bet she is too...  I will let you know later after I get a glimpse of her  myself!  LOL

Kathryn,
What an incredible welcome home gift!  Congratulate Laura for me and have fun with your new little Lilly.

After grieving over the death of my best friends father, it is a joy to celebrate life today.  This is truly a great news!!!!  Big big hugs to you and the family and special kisses to this little precious girl.  CONGRATULATIONS! 

ripplemaker-

I am so sorry to hear about your good friend's father:-(  The cycles of life are an amazing part of living.

Thank you for celebrating with me today:-) 

But both circumstances are about life coming and going...  and it is all to celebrate about, with proper perspective!

Kathryn

Hey Doghouse!

I will pass it on for you to Laura.  I can't wait to head out there later today:-)  I am just visiting tonight with the Papa and will head myself for a few days later in the week.

All this Nana stuff is really wearing me out!  LOL

Kathryn

Six weeks and they all descend on us here at home!  Perhaps after that, I will have time for my own life...   eventually!  LOL

And that is so right kathryn!!!!  Yes indeed, the circle of life is to be celebrated.  I'm happier today too...

Huge congrats, Kathryn! And I just love the name! I may be a bit bias, though because my youngest grand-daughter's name is Lillian Annabelle and we call her Lilly or Lilly Belle. She just turned one. I know that you are feeling God's blessings raining down on you right now and you should be gleaming! Thanks for sharing your joy with us!

Bonnie

Thanks Bonnie:-)

I am very happy about the name of Lilly for this little one, as Lilly was my grandmother's name. 

I confess, I pushed for the name and am thrilled that one of my grandchildren will carry her memory on now!   It didn't cost me a thing either.  LOL

I love Lillian too.  Lilly is such a feminine name. 

I am so happy to be able to tell Lilly about her great grandmother Lilly, and know that she will love her name because of who she is named after and what this women stood for throughout her life.

Thanks again,
Kathryn
