My baby is home with me once more. Only for 2 weeks but I'm going to enjoy him while I have him. Here he is with his girlfriend, Tiegan, at my daughters wedding.

He's in the Marines and even though he's only stationed for right now in San Diego I worry about him all the time. It's funny that way. A mothers love never stops no matter how old they get. Speaking of that my daughter, Megan, is expecting a baby boy in August. She's had a very hard life. She was born with a condition called Biliary Atresia. Basically she had no ducts in her liver. She was givin a 5% chance to live to see her first birthday. Back then they didn't have liver transplants and they knew she wouldn't survive without one. She made it 26 yrs without one and last year, Casey, came home from the Marines to give her part of his. She is now healthy and pregnant! Baby is doing fine. One of my other things I like to do is card making. So my friends and I got together and we made her invitations to a shower I am giving her next month.Didn't they turn out cute? I can't wait to be a Grandma! Oh and speaking of Grandma's, my mom is finally moving in this weekend. Here is her bathroom that we just finished. I say "we" loosely because my husband did all the work. I just supervised.I'll show you her room after we get things in there. We had to make sure everything was handicapped accessible. She's using a walker pretty much right now but I don't know how long that will last.

And finally on to knitting news. I finished my scarf for my son, Kyle's, friend. He used to be a district manager at Sephora and when the vendors would give him things he'd give them to me. I have so much make up and beauty products now. It's a girls dream come true. So I like to make him things when I can.

Enjoy your son while he's at home!! I am so excited about your daughter and your soon to be arriving grandbaby!!! How fun is that!! Wishing we were closer so we could go out for a diet pepsi and I could hear more about your wonderful family. Maybe at the next Fling!!! And the cards for the shower are adorable. And I love the scarf.

Pat, I'm so glad that Casey is home on leave. I know what you mean about worrying - Zack is in CA, too, but I still worry about him. That's wonderful that your mom's space is ready - you're so lucky to have her with you. And the baby....Wow, you are really blessed.
