2014
To all my friends around the world
I wish you holiday cheer!
Over these past three weeks since Ravi's birth
I have no clue where the hours of each day have flown ...
All I can say for certain is this:
My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!
So great is the power of love at first sight!
Yesterday, Steven stopped over for ... four hours
So Gramma and Ravi could play☺️
And while my son set up his computer at our kitchen table
And proceeded to catch up on some lawyering work
I swaddled Ravi in a light weight, white blanket covered with
Pink rosebuds that resemble her sweet lips, and
With this precious, brand new love cradled in my arms
She and I swung on my patio swing, just as
I'd swung, countless times, with my arm around my mom
And while swinging, I showed Ravi my mountain, reaching
Up to the clear, blue sky where both sets of
Her Great-Grammas and Great-grampas
Beamed smiles of love, which
Shone down upon us, warming our hearts, from above
Then my niece and nephew stopped by to
Borrow my car, and together with Will, all six of us
Enjoyed such a love fest that you can imagine why
My cheeks feel a need to relax ... though
I do not anticipate that happening any time soon☺️
Actually, within the hour, we leave for the airport to
Welcome David and his 'Little Brother' of
The past five years, Brett
(Big Sisters Big Brothers)
When Brett, who is now fifteen and taller and broader than
All of my guys, makes grades
David flies him to our fair city and treats his
Little(?) brother to a professional football game with
All of us ... So fun and tailgating with
Dear friends lie directly ahead ...
David plans to stay for a week; then Barry arrives …
So if you don't hear from me, daily, you'll know that
While my head is swirling with family fun and
My heart is smiling from ear to ear
My mind may not find time to write at length until
We've all rung in a happy, healthy New Year!
Warmest holiday hugs to one and all!
Your blissful, though life remains imperfect, friend,
Annie
