About Me

My photo
Delta, British Columbia, Canada
I took very early retirement from teaching in '06 and did some traveling in Europe and the UK before settling down to do some private tutoring. As a voracious reader, I have many books waiting in line for me to read. Tell me I shouldn't read something, and I will. I'm a happy, optimistic person and I love to travel and through that believe that life can be a continuous learning experience. I'm looking forward to traveling more some day. I enjoy walking, cycling, water aerobics & and sports like tennis, volleyball, and fastpitch/baseball. I'm just getting into photography as a hobby and I'm enjoying learning all the bits and bobs of my digital camera. My family is everything to me and I'm delighted to be the mother of two girls and the Gramma of a boy and a girl. I may be a Gramma, but I'm at heart just a girl who wants to have fun.

ABC Wednesday - E is for Eden Elizabeth


Some of you might remember the momentous occasion almost one year ago (March 3, 2008 to be exact) when I announced the birth of my first granddaughter. My daughter and son-in-law already had a 4-year-old son named Noah Brian and the entire family was thrilled that the new baby was a girl. It's hard for any of us to believe that she's almost a year old!
Eden has been a wonderful baby, but has suffered terribly from teething. Thankfully, her two bottom teeth and her top four front teeth have now emerged and she's in much better spirits.
I know that her Mommy doesn't really like me to put pictures of her kids on here, but I think hope that she won't mind this one more time since it's to honour Eden.
My daughter brought Noah and Eden over to visit on Monday and Eden discovered the "granny walker" that I was using for a while when I came home from the hospital. Here she is after she pulled herself up with it looking pleased as punch at her accomplishment, and giving her Gramma a huge grin.

A sweet post of your sweet Eden. My family doesn't want me posting pictures of them either. Its so hard to not post any.
It sounds like you are feeling better for which I am so glad.
You are the only other person I know that calls the walker a Granny Walker. I think its a perfect name.

She's so precious. I had all boys, so my granddaughter is very special! I'm glad to hear you say "was using" in reference to your walker! I'm glad you are doing better!
