Life Intrudes
Yes, I am sorry. I left you with no indication that I wouldn’t be able to blog for a while, but – as it does for you – life intrudes. AdventureMan and I are on a GREAT adventure, a baby was born, and thus we became Grandma and Grandpa! We didn’t intend to be here for the birth, but babies have their own schedules, and we got here in time to spend time with our son and his wife AND to be able to see our new grandson before he was even an hour old.
Who ever thinks the thrills in life are over once you hit ‘grown-up’ is SO wrong. Life just keeps getting better and better, and is full of thrills – if you have the eyes to see, and the ears to hear, and the heart to know a miracle when you see one.
Every new baby is a miracle. We can’t make them happen – or not happen – by wishing. Babies, each and every one, are a miracle.
Photos? This was a mixed up trip. We have been on the run ever since we hit the ground. I have photos, but I left my card-reader in Doha. As soon as I can hit a store, I will show you a photo of the newest prince. 😉
Thanks for your patience with me.

🙂 Great News.
mabrook ma yakom! -(blessed what has come to you)
so your officially a grandmother now, yayf!!
Congrtulations on your first Grandchild , Why am I confused that it the second ,maybe after the posts about diaper cake or baby shower fews months / weeks ago !!!! You are in the states i guess thats why the blog was silent . Congrats again and Bless you all .
*intlxpatr is dancing for joy!* Thanks be to God! Thanks be to God!
Daggero, I forgot, it can be confusing because it is a cultural difference. We have showers for pregnant women months before the baby comes. So the diaper cake is from a huge family reunion in November, which also featured a shower for the Mom-to-be.
As a very funny aside, one of my D-I-L’s aunts made a slideshow of the shower, and took some photos of me from a previous gathering and stitched them into the shower photos, so even though I wasn’t there, I have a disk full of slides showing me having a wonderful time at the shower! It’s a wild and whacky world we live in. 🙂
Oh Congratulations :*** How does it feel to be a grandparent?!!!!
May god bless him and grant you both a good healthy life to attend his own child’s birth :***
CONGRATULATIONS!! Many blessings for a healthy baby and a safe trip back for you and AM!
It feels wonderful, Danderma. We get to help, and we get to watch our son and his wife turn into parents. It is the most amazing and awe inspiring experience. 🙂
Thank you AcadaMama 🙂
Alf Mabrouk to all of you! Have you thought of a name yet?

LOL, my friend, name starts with a “Q”! I am enjoying! I am enjoying!
