Granddaughter's Birthday


Today is our granddaughter Kate's 2nd birthday.  We were blessed to be able to watch her grow and spend time with her for her first year.  For her entire 2nd year she has been in Kaiserslautern, Germany - Ramstein Air Force Base.  I'm Gigi and my husband, Scott, is Pop-Pop.  Gigi and Pop-Pop have sent many boxes of goodies to Germany and the last one was Kate and Victoria's birthday box.
The Lord has been good and blessed our daughter's family with good health and protection this past year.  Their second daughter, the "child with no name yet", is due in about a month.  Hopefully the child will have a name, I'm calling her Jennifer for now, and I will post it with a picture!
The Lord has kept us busy and needed in His service this year and that has helped with the separation.  I now have a deep appreciation for many moms in my church who have children and grandchildren all over the United States, Costa Rica, and China.
We have our granddaughter, Emma, right around the corner from us so we can't complain too much.  She is a real cutie and as smart as a whip.  I have to laugh at her when I watch the "wheels turning" in her little eyes.  She is five months old, has dark hair, gray eyes, and a silly grin.
This is a grandma post, maybe this week I'll update on our teen world with Alyssa!
