“BABY J” Has Arrived! :)
Our first grandbaby, a grandson, arrived this past Wednesday. He is so adorable and so precious. Anyone who’s been around a newborn baby knows how precious they are. It’s amazing how a whole room full of people (even four men) can sit or stand around in a hospital room and be totally fascinated and entertained by watching a tiny newborn . Well…he wasn’t exactly tiny…he weighed 8 pounds and was 20 inches long. But in comparison to everyone else in the room, he was tiny. And it was the sweetest thing when he put his tiny little fingers around one of my fingers, or when he made those sweet little sounds that only newborns make, or when he finally opened his eyes and looked at me! We thank God for this sweet little bundle of joy. What a blessing in the lives of all of us in that hospital room!
Recipe for Strawberry “Fruitlatti”
This is one of our favorite recipes and is so refreshing on a hot day:
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled (wash well to remove pesticides)
1 banana (not green, ripe is better)
8 ice cubes
1/4 – 1/2 cup water depending on preferred consistency
sweetener (we use Stevia which is found at health food stores and Central Market)
Blend just until there are tiny pieces of ice still left.
This will make 3 large fruilatties or 4 small ones.
The New Harry Potter Movie, The Order of the Phoenix, is our Favorite
Well, we finally got to see the newest Harry Potter movie and thought it was great! I vaguely remember thinking the second movie was my favorite, but now it’s definitely the fifth movie that I (we) like the best. We didn’t care too much for the third movie, although I really liked the third book. The movie wasn’t completely true to the book and portrayed a dark side of Harry. The fourth movie cut out too many important parts and was lacking in some things. But this newest movie was very well produced and showed Harry’s character in its true sense. Harry’s statement at the very end was so cool.
I must admit I haven’t read the fifth (or sixth or seventh) books, but our son, daughter and son-in-law have, and our son wants to reread all seven books now. They are such Harry Potter fans that they went to the midnight release of the seventh book!
Pregnant Women Need Robot Fans :)
Our daughter is “great with child,” meaning that she is going to have a baby, “Baby J,” very soon. And anyone who’s been pregnant in the hot months knows that it feels like a furnice is in your tummy. (I had an August baby and a September baby!!) They have central air but recently got an oscillating fan just for her. Our son-in-law asked her where she wanted it and she said, “Wherever I am!!” And that’s so true. And I got to thinking about how our neighbor down the street has a robot lawn mower (which is the neatest thing to watch). Well, if they can make robot lawn mowers and other things, wouldn’t it be neat if they had a robot fan just to follow pregnant women around in the house and maybe even blow out extra-cold air. I guess for now, the next best thing is to go open the freezer door and cool off that way! LOL
Our “GrandPets”
Our first “grandpet” was a “grandpuppy,” the cutest miniature dachshund named Josie who was bought by our daughter and son-in-law. Talk about full of personality. She knew just what look to give you or what trick to do and knew that it was so irresistable. Then two kittens were added to the family and Josie must have thought she was their mother. She licked their faces and tried to take care of them. So at this point we had “grandkittens” too. They all got a little older and learned how to work together. Our daughter called them “partners in crime” because the cats would knock things off on the floor such as the mail or magazines and then Josie would tear them up. Of course, Josie could make a big mess all by herself. Now that they’re older, they don’t make messes very often. And that’s a good thing because now we have a real “grandbaby” (Baby J) on the way soon and I’m sure there will be plenty of messes once again!! 🙂 LOL
The “Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum” – A Must if You’re in Austin, TX
My family enjoys going to Austin, TX, for a short vacation now and then. The last time we were there, the new Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum had opened and we decided to check it out. It’s within walking distance of the Texas State Capitol Building. You know they say everything is big in Texas, well that’s true of this museum. It’s three stories tall and even the outside of the museum is impressive. But the neat thing about the museum is all the interactive exhibits it contains as well as an IMAX Theater. We not only enjoyed going through all the exhibits and the IMAX but we also enjoyed eating in the museum’s Cafe. This is such a fun place to go as well as an exciting learning experience not only for the kids but for adults as well. We were really impressed with it and plan to go again when we’re in Austin for a family get-a-way.
