i'm saving time in a bottle...

through the photos of this past week of our newest grandbaby.

today she is already a week old.


she was born on july the 22nd and brought instant joy into our lives.

with big sister grace it is a whole new level of excitement.

garnet has been visited by so many wonderful family

and friends....all willing to cuddle with her for a few moments.

here she is with great grandma and grandpa....gigi and papa chuck.

g~pa takes a turn in the hospital on the day she was born.

we are so blessed to have this new little addition to our family.

right now it is a busy time getting to know her and caring for

her needs , her mommy and her family.

blessings to all!

how does your garden grow...

mine grows....

with garden fairies...and little angel girls

waiting in the wings for their grand entrance.

.

.

with lights abounding...to apply a natural glow to lovely faces...

.

.

with dancing princesses....letting their selves be bright.

with wonderment of sweet garden fairies, their wonder, and delight.

with pretty blue~eyed girls....just waiting their turn
with lovely locks of uptwisted curls.

with little pink garden fairies ready to dance...

and line up for their very own chance...

to turn...to twirl...to skip...upon a stage that says they can.

that is how my garden is growing.

happy december.
