I really hope that you all can see the video link that I have included of Luci. I have always heard people that were already grandparents talk about how much they instantly love their grandchildren and what a powerful love it is. Just like the love of a parent, I think you have to experience it to understand it. I think of my little granddaughter each and every day and I pray for her and her parents every day. I am so in love with her and long to see and hold her again. She is talked about such much in our house that Abigail instantly recognizes her picture when it is pulled up on the computer --even though she has not seen Luci yet.

I spent last week at home as Abigail has surgery on August 28th and was in the hospital for two days. The surgery went well and she is doing great. I took the week after the surgery off to be at home with her. It was a GREAT week to be home as the weather was absolutely gorgeous with temperatures in the 70's during the day and 50's at night and I kept the windows open. It was a great week of one-on-one time with mommy as Shane is now in school. We celebrated Lorene and Susie's birthdays on Saturday, September 5th so I am including pictures. We missed Roy and his family as Daniel was sick . Shane and John are at King's Dominion today but unfortunately, I won't have pictures to share as I didn't send my camera with them. Back to work tomorrow....................
