Just Call Me Abuela!!!! (Grandma)

HE'S HERE!!!! Meet my FIRST Grand Baby :c} :c} Little DB who isn't all that little 8lb 11oz & 21" was born at 7:45am on October 1st. He has all his fingers and toes and a little skiff of red hair!! #2 child the proud papa had the most beautiful auburn colored hair :c} before his mom's genetic marker cut it's beautiful life short :c{

DB, Mama, & Papa are all doing fine!!! Mama's family were all there and #3 child was there for his brother.:c} This is one of those times when you wish you could just beam yourself there!! But because babies tend to live on their own secret schedules, and plane fares have become completely unreasonable I booked my trip for the 21st on Oct. That's still 3 weeks away!!!! :c{

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Baby DB WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY!!!!

Your post brought back the rush of feeling of seeing him for the first time. What a little darling you have there nestled in his mothers arms. I think your nest must be full of joy indeed! Have a wonderful weekend!; October 2, 2008 at 7:45 AM

The Velveteen Rabbit

What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
