An order of magnitude harder when you've met someone from the boards, Smaarty! In re Susan3, I'm thinking now I need to go back to the restaurants where we'd had meals. Just to finish things.

Smarrty, so glad Loverly let you know about Susan. I remember so well we had so much fun with both babies pictures. Of course, the names Elana(Claire's and Susan's GD) and Evie in my head always got mixed up. But weΒ treasured their pictures.Β
YAY another Baby WHooooohhhhoooooooooo
Smarrty, you said you got to meet Susan. Please, would you describe every detail. ??
Yes, Stephen got married, as you knew. Now they are Prego, Expected delivery date is Jan 29th. As we know, it's thereabouts.
It's a boy, Chosen name at this point is Sawyer Joseph----Joseph was Stephen's dad's middle name.. Sawyer---one of the new names. Alternate considerations are Jackson and Grayson.Β
I was the hit of the shower with ohs, and ahhs, and whoops. I gave them a year of house cleaning
Never been the hit of a party, It was quite fun.

Okay , how did I come up with the idea of house cleaning. I tried to remember what was the worst about the first year. Then, I also gave the DS his baby book.Β The book was created in the Polaroid time. I wrote things on each picture with the old time grease pencil. It was a red thing that you wrote with and unwrapped bas the as the pencil was used.
There is a picture ofΒ me and Stephen at 4 weeks. I wrote "OMG 4 WEEKS"Β I totally looked dead and dragged. DEar Greg said "Your aren't putting that in the book?"Β I said "I sure am" Anyone who has gone through the first few weeks of life with a baby, will so understand this look". Of course , I was right.Β

I made up a phrase during the time that Stephen was a newborn. I thought. I would make it into a sampler ( cross stitch)).Β
" God makes you a Parent, by pushing you to the absolute point of exhaustion, and then he makes the baby wake up"Their is no one, not even yourself that you will wake up for, but the love of a child, and I must add, a love of an animal
I guess, I'm adding, if there is a love outside yourself you will wake up if you get a signal . My girl Schats can be a soft sound, get's me up right away. Other times from two rooms away she gives a louder sound. Dini never talks. He just comes and looks. Β

Smaaaaaaaarty!!!
So lovely to see you, just thinking of you a few days ago and wondering how you were.
Thought of you also when we had the national Kinit and Stitch show in Dublin. I wonder why?
Gosh it seems like a few weeks ago that there were Elena and Evie pictures flying up here, had to believe that that was 3 years ago.

So sorry to hear about Phyliss. May she Rest In Peace! Another bright star has dimmed. We have lost too many sisters this year. So glad her family was with her.

Our Phyllis had one of the best sense of humor and quick wit of anyone I have known.
She faced so many different trials and medicines doing her best to beat back Metastatic Breast Cancer. At one point she was walking miles despite her treatments. Iβve read women post that their friends were murdered by Metastatic Breast Cancer...and I think that is the truth. It steals our sweet friends away.
I was lucky to get to meet Phyllis in person and spend the day together. We kept in touch from that time on, sometimes close, sometimes months would pass. But always in awe of her strength.
I was just getting ready to try to call again when I saw the PM from Sas. And at that moment a commercial about CASA came on the TV, which was very dear to Phyllis. Message from Heaven?
I will miss our friend

we are sitting at hOnolulu. Our first plane had a broken latch on the cargo door so we had to switcH planes. It should only arrive a half hour later. Hope you all enjoyed the holidays. We had 33 people at my moms on Xmas. She survived! All of mine and my sisters kids and grandkids. 2 of mine were missing and 1 of hers. Age from 1 yr old to 92.

Smaarty, what an amazing family gathering. No doubt a little bit stressful looking after all the little ones, but also a blessing and a privilege. Bummer about your plane delay but definitely better safe than sorry. Hope you have arrived safely and comfortably by the time you are reading this. XXX

Took a much needed break. Made some resolutions for this year that I am sticking too and to heck with those that get mad at me for it.
