Baby Emily

My beautiful grandaughter is finally here. I never imagined how much I would love her. I am so proud of Erika. Erika allowed me to be in the delivery room with her and Caleb while she had Emily. She was so strong. I was so worried about her, but she did a great job. It was amazing seeing my grandaughter being born.
It is also amazing how many people love Erika and Caleb. They had alot of people there at the hospital cheering them on, but they also had many people at home and at church praying for them.
I dont know how we ever managed before we had a church family. We started attending Alvarado FBC about 4 or 5 years ago, before that we didnt attend a church. I never imagined how much love and support you get from a church family. Baby Emily already has so many people that love her and will watch over her. How awesome is that! I wish I had had a church family much earlier in life. I know it would have made trials alot easier to get through with so much support. So, my church family, if any of you read this, thank you so much for loving us!!
And Erika, if you read this, always remember how proud I am of you. I love you so much. You are going to be a great mommy. Thank you so much for letting me be with you during the wonderful experience of Emilys birth. You are a beautiful woman, and I am so proud to be your mommy and Emilys Gramma. I love you sweet girl.
Praise God for blessing me with my wonderful family!!

Im back again

I just found out that my son is in jail. How am I supposed to be okay with that? We have had alot of things come up missing from our home and I was afraid it was him taking it, but there was always this small thread of hope that it wasn't him. I guess that the police caught him stealing and now he is in jail, so all hope is gone. You cant even imagine how devastating it is to know that your child is in jail. I know that he has to face consequences for his actions but I am still so scared for him. Please pray for him. Please pray for all of us.


Dear Lord please watch over my son. Please make this time in jail make him realize that he needs to turn his life around. Help him to know that it is never to late to seek You, and that You will forgive all. He can be washed clean and start fresh. Please give me the right words to say to him when I get to speak to him.Keep him safe Dear Lord.

Hello again

I haven't done this for a while. Alot is happening in life right now. I am going to be a grandma!! Baby Emily is due on Sept 28. It seems to be taking forever. I cant wait to hold her. I know she will be a beauty, just look at her mommy (and grandma j/k) My sweet Erika will be such a great mommy. She and Caleb have grown up to be wonderful adults, I cant even begin to explain how very proud I am of them. I am going to spoil baby Emily rotten. I CANT WAIT!!!
Cassie is doing very well. She is a great kid. She is a wonderful student and a very good person. My kids are pretty darn awesome.
Daniel and I still aren't seeing eye to eye. We have different opinions of right and wrong, but he is still my son and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I love him very much.
John and I are great. I think maybe God gave me the best man in the whole world. He is the sweetest guy ever.
So all is good. God has blessed me more than I could ever deserve. Even when things are tough I know that He will never give me more than I can handle.
