Happy Birthday Daniel!
Happy Birthday Paul!
And what does Sady think of Hershey? How do you keep up with her outside? They go out together? Marleigh was so tired by the time we got to presents I don't think she cared much. It was 5 in the evening! She got up in the morning about 9. Someone is going to have to clue her in that on Christmas, you get up at 5 a.m. for presents!! I think she liked the mashed potatoes/gravy and chocolate pudding torte better than presents. She was licking her lips and opening that little beak right on cue :) She beams and reaches for me when she sees/recognizes me and that is one of the greatest feeling in all of my 54 yrs. (Chalk another one up for Rita!) To my brothers and sisters, do you remember when Momma would make over our kids? It actually felt like she was making over us! She wasn't, but we felt that warm glow that they felt when she mad'em feel special. That is another thing that made my mother unique to me: the way she treated my children! That is what I want with Marleigh and me! That grandmotherly, bonding through the years type of thing! Yeah! I didn't have that with either of my grandmothers. My hat is off to you guys/That is one of the things that I see in my brothers and sisters with their grands! I see that specialness between you! That is going to be one of my promises for the new year! To fan the flame that Momma passed on to us! I hope my welcome to Marleigh always says "I'm so happy to see you, I'm so glad you came and I'll always be here for you." Sometimes I forget she is just across town!!!!!!!
