Starting Over

Well, I got a little behind on my blog (like almost 2 years!) It seemed like I would never be able to catch up, so I am just going to start again, and maybe go back and fill in some of the blanks from those two years. But when I think about catching it ALL up, I get too overwhelmed!

November 1, 2007 was one of my best days ever! That is the day Cooper Orion Hebert was born. I was finally a Grandma and I was overjoyed! I got to watch him come into this world and it was the most amazing moment. I was filled with so much emotion-love, gratitude to God, joy, pride in my daughter. Of course, I cried. Those who know me would expect nothing less.

All that Cooper went through, health-wise, for the next 8 days also made me cry. But it mostly made me pray, lots and lots of prayer! And God heard our prayers. Cooper got better and came home, healthy and whole.

Watching him grow and thrive has been a joy. And so has watching the wonderful mother my daughter has become. I LOVE being a Grandma! I am very blessed to be able to spend lots of time with Cooper and I love every minute of it. He is so darn cute and has so much personality (you don't suppose I am a bit prejudiced, do you?)

It seems like the time went so fast, and then he was a year old already. I love my pictures of him with birthday cake all over his precious little face!

And then there was the whole brain tumor chapter of my life. Long story short, God brought our family through a really tough time. It was such a learning experience for me--learning to trust completely in God and seeing how faithful he was in every way. I can never thank or praise Him enough.

And now He is filling my life with Blessings! My two new little grandsons, Caleb Joseph and Still Unnamed Baby Boy (lol), will be arriving in August, due just a couple weeks apart. What a Double Blessing! It is so fun to watch Kelly's and Shauna's bellies grow!
