A New Granddaughter

A new Granddaughter for 2008, who could ask for anything more. Olivia was born on Jan 1st. A sweet little bundle of joy. She reminds me of her daddy when he was brand new. She has darker hair then what Greg had as a baby, but that little sweet nose and delicate little chin remind me of Greg. I held Olivia for a short time today, under her Dad's watchful eyes. She seemed pretty calm after what she had been through in the previous hours. I am sure we will become fast friends like my other granddaughters. Rylie turns 9 in a little less then a week, and I can remember when she was brand new like it was yesterday. She was my first Granddaughter and I could not get enough of snuggling with her. She has grown to be such a dear young lady. Her folks should be very proud of the kind, sweet soul she is. Rylie will be a very good example for Olivia. My other Granddaughter is full of spirit and sweetness, Shelby. She also is growing into a graceful young lady. She looks up to Rylie the way I am sure Olivia will someday look up to Shelby. Parents of these beautiful young ladies could not ask for anything more. I love my grandsons too, don't get me wrong, but there is something special about Little Girls. Some can be more work at raising then others but little girls want to be loved and adored and most problems can melt away if they always know they have someones lap, be it Dad, or Mom, or Grandpa or Grandma or Uncle or Aunt etc. etc. etc. Just so its someone that loves them and supports them in their times of need and times of want, and most of all in times of for no particular reason, to be loved unconditionally.
