i'm so behind on all my blog posts - so much

to say and so much happening within our family.

theres no way i can catch up on things - nor keep up

with all the documenting either.

so i'm just gonna try to highlight

a few of the things that i can actually remember!

in late october, we celebrated

the safe birth of our eighth grandkiddo -

shasta & jon's third child,

our third grand-daughter! 

she is a beautiful little baby and so precious!

 

a  middle of the night text from shasta sent me and

a few of the girls scurrying around to get ready

to make our trek into the hospital to be

with shasta & jon.

luckily the hospital is just a mere six miles down

the road for us.

the labor and birth was a very {very} fast one

and so we just made it with not much time to spare.

while her each of her pregnancies have been labeled high-risk

and she has to endure months of bedrest

as well as months of medicine to prevent premature labor,

she has been blessed with practically

perfect labors and deliveries.
