Our clan is growing.  Our youngest son married his beautiful bride in December 2012 at the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art.  The wedding was magical…

…and on October 23, 2014, we were blessed with baby Fae Rosaliind.  For Mr. B and me this is a magical time.  We are now the proud grandparents of 2 granddaughters!  {Girls: 2, Boys: 0}

Sarah’s shower was such a celebration of friendship, given with love by a handful of my dear friends.  Most of us have been friends since our children were in grade school.  We’ve attended graduations, weddings and now baby showers.  This, for me, has been one of life’s best presents, friendships that have stood the test of time!

The beautiful setting for Sarah’s shower was at my friend’s home.  Glenys and friends did a beautiful job. {Thank you all!}

Precious packages, all babies are beautiful.  But getting to buy dresses, and shoes with sparkles and bows is an experience to delight the senses, especially when you’ve raised boys.  Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely delighted in my boys.  I am an only child so discovering some of the thought processes that go on with boys, as opposed to girls, was eye opening!

Olivia, our first granddaughter, is the perfect mix of sugar and spice.  Super hero play time, thanks to her dad, and the innate interest in all things hello kitty and Elsa (Frozen) that most girls enjoy.  She is very excited to have a cousin to play with when she visits. We have so much fun!

Congratulations, Kevin and Sarah!  Thank you for adding such a welcome addition to the clan. ♥
