Over the past years, I've written several poems about babies
I think the first grand-child I was "in" on was Jason.
I felt the veil brush back and forth
as I stood in silent awe
Birth and death so hand in hand
This baby that I saw
come through the strife, so filled with life
I need to hold your hand so tight
You can safely lead me
as I follow through the night
Oh, God sends children to get parents back
to where they're supposed to be
and I, your Grandma, stand in awe
that you're in our family
and I felt eternity

THE GIFT
Which is the most miraculous?
the creation of a world
or the blossoming of a flower?
Both have beauty that's unfurled
across the ages, and the sages search
for answers to God's plan
Which is the most miraculous?
Resurrection of a man
or the hatching out of a golden butterfly?
The sky's its kingdom now
Winging, dipping, on its way to freedom
Not caring how it changed
Just knowing deep inside that
she'd been given the gift of flight
Which is the most miraculous?
A star coming out at night
or the birthing of a babe? Oh, God
You are too wonderful to me!
Best of all, you've given me
the gift that I can see
We got two new great-grands in July
This little lady is Remi Jane Sibbert, daughter of Kelsey and Troy. She arrived on July 6th, weighing 7 1/2 lbs. 21 inches long. first baby for them, 2nd grand-daughter for Elaine and Curt
She is all girl
After a few days, he came home in his new stroller, lots of Aunts and Uncles waiting to hold
These little guys are # 28 and #29 great-grandkids for us. Totally blessed. As far as I know,
there are no more babies on the way, but who knows?
Ruth, Danny and three kids dropped by for a few days in June. They slept at Karen's, but spent most of the time here.
Dasche always has fun playing on the drums with David.
out in the shop, where it's quiet.
and here's the old folks, probably heading for the Doctor's (or out to eat)
Grandpa is very dapper with a cane.
Linn came for a few days, we caught 3 of the boys at the same time to get a picture with Dad. It's so good to have these 'men' to help us when we need help, or just to sit and talk a spell.
This was Zoey's graduation in Michigan, Karen got to be there.

This of course is from past days, posted by the Petersons on the Glen May family page. I had never seen this photo, but I've seen these people hugging a lot throughout my life. This was on a trip to Canada, back in better days.
Here is Kelsey, two weeks away from due date, which I think is next week. Holding our breath to get that little girl out where we can see her and hold her and give her a hug. Name already picked out is Remi. Very cute
Here we were on Memorial day at Rigby Lake, about 15 minutes from our house. David likes to fish here, but this day we just grabbed some sandwiches and Karen and went for a picnic.
Karen got to go to Michigan for a week in June, one main event was graduation for Daniel and Senta's girl Zoey. Such a pretty girl, and we get to have her close in the fall while she's at BYU-I for school. Also Jack got his eagle award and she saw end-of-school programs for most of the other 4
We finally got to meet Krista's husband John Muir. They got married in December, in the Reno temple, but with school and distance.....They live in Provo where he is attending BYU and she is a nanny. Nice guy, we approved. He plans to be an attorney, with his Dad. (We seem to have a lot of those in the family)
and here is Sister Pearl in New Zealand with her companion. She is having such a good time and baptisms are coming fast. What a blessing to our family to have her serving the Lord. Who could say no to these two beautiful girls?
