A New Miracle

The miracle of birth. A new life. So fragile, so loved. Travis and I are blessed to have a new grandson, Tristan Cole Riggs.

After a harrowing day involving words like toxcemia, preeclampsia, high blood pressure, Welcome to Texas, Speed Limit 75 MPH, and what seemed like thousands of exit numbers, Travis and I arrived at the Baytown Methodist Hospital just a mere 15 minutes before 'closin' time.' I was genuinely concerned as to how hospital security was going to keep him out if we did not make it in time! Jason's first baby.....I don't think so!

Isn't it amazing how you can know that a baby is due to arrive and you are excited, bla, bla, bla. Then you see that precious child, hold him in your arms, and know that your life will never be the same because you fall instantly, totally in love with him.

Tristan makes 10. Numbers 11 and 12 are due between now and the end of May. With each baby we will once again fall instantly, totally in love with them. We have lots of love, Travis and I.

Babinos

I am about to become a grandmother again - times 3! Jason and Dana are due any time between now and March 1. Zack and Amber are due around the middle of March. Carey and Brandy are due toward the end of May.

Isn't this fun?? All BOYS. Since all live in different states it will be hard to get them together but I must figure a way to line them up in a picture!

Travis and I are so blessed.

Where Am I?

Hello out there. Where on Earth have I been? Last blog entry was in October. Guess I've been a busy girl what with dealing with this Mad Cow disease and all.
