Yes, yes, I know that it has been 2 months since I have blogged! And since that last post, I have had a very special person come into my life. As my blog readers know, I am now the very proud grandma of a two month guy named Jackson. Hence, you can blame him for the lack of blogs since he was born (I have to find a place to lay blame somewhere and he'll never know I used him!).
Steve and I were fortunate to go out and hold him for the first time when he was but one week old. My, my it was easy to fall in love with him. How does it happen so instantaneously? I remember wondering that with my own children and now, it's deja vu all over again. Thanks to a winter storm we got to stay an extra day but when we left he had doubled his lifetime!
And as gift to me from my school district, I had the opportunity to spend 17 more days with Jackson in January. I hugged, bathed, rocked, sang, did the grandma sway and loved every minute I spent doing those things. I had forgotten the smell of baby neck, the cuddling, warmth, and just general ecstatic feeling one can get while holding a newborn. Yes, they are a lot of time and energy but, from a grandma's point of view, what could be more important.
Ellen sends me pictures of him and my arms just ache to hold him. I can see him asking for me in those eyes! There's no doubt about it. But one thing for sure, he has my heart. And I left it with him!
