BELLA BELLA BELLA

Last Friday I visited with Sue (my best friend) and spent time with Brogan and his little sister, Bella.
Bella felt so tiny in my arms!  I had forgotten about how little they are at first!
Here is "Nana Rose" with Bella.

 

Brogan kept a close watch to make sure I was holding her right.   See how delicate she is.

 Bella seems to not be thrilled by the camera.

 I swear she was trying to tweedle her lips!!

PEEK-A-BOO!!  

I see you Nana Rose!

I think I am going to have fun with her!

FELLOW WRITERS ARE PUBLISHED

I have a few friends who are authors and you may purchase their ebooks online!

Sanna, Sorceress Apprentice is written by my friend Roxanna Matthews.  It falls in the Fantasy genre.
Sanna attends the Thon Academy of Higher Magic to hone her talents and make her into a very talented sorceress.  Her talents lie within the fiber arts where she can knit just about anything--a bottomless bag that hold tons of items, socks that are self-heating--and she can also knit people's injured bodies back to health! 
I do not want to give too much away, but if you are interested in purchasing the book, you can go to:

Another book is written by Alice Lynn and it is entitled Volunteer for Glory, an historical romance. 
Rachel is left alone on their farm in Illinois when her husband, Stuart, joins the volunteer cavalry during the Civil war. She endures much and shows her strength.  She also encounters a neighbor who she begins to have feelings for.

Three young environmentalists kidnap the Secretary of the Interior and take her to the Pacific Northwest woods to re-educate her, in the belief that when she returns to D.C., she will begin making correct, informed decisions for the land. Their relationships with each other and with the Secretary of the Interior (whom they have dubbed the Lorax) grows in this book.  The ending is a real shocker!  You must read it!

BELLA IS HERE!!

You all have seen Brogan on my blog. Well, he now has a little sister!  Bella Ashley was born May 18th, at 9:21 am, 7 pounds 2 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long.  She is so tiny!

Here is Brogan holding his little sister.  She was a little fussy and he soon decided he wanted dad to take over.
If you ask Brogan, "What is your sister's name?" he responds with BELLA!

I do think it will take some time for him to get used to a baby in the home. 

I am sure that Maddie, their dog, will want to run away to my house!

Here is my best friend, Sue, with her granddaughter.
She is so happy to have a granddaughter and a grandson!
Since Sue is retiring soon, I am sure she will be up for many visits.  She is already planning trips to Disneyland!

Here is daddy (Weston) holding his daughter. 

I know he will be planning a few fishing trips when she is big enough!

Weston is so calm with everyone and a fussy daughter seemed to not upset him in the least.

Here is Brogan getting a little cuddling time in with his mommy, Christina. 

I am looking forward to being "Nana Rose" to another child!  You can expect more photos soon!
