Lillian Grace

Maybe I am just getting old. Maybe I am getting wise. It just may be that my granddaughter has turned me on to something. Anyway, I am beginning to notice and enjoy babies. They soften my heart.

Last night Steven and Elaine  blessed their daughter Lillian Grace, who came along back in October. Elaine let me to attend and grab a few snaps of the event that included the extended family. (I have thoughts on extended families, but that is a different post.)

Well, Lily displayed the reality of her name and demonstrated great "Grace" throughout the proceedings. Despite being passed from one pair of hands to the next, she opened her quizzical eyes at various moments but did not let out a peep. She was totally sweet.


The event was joyous, fun, and peppered with much laughter. Some of you are familiar with Elaine's signature laugh so I found it quaint that there are echoes of that style in her mother-in-law's laughter. Laughter makes an environment as calming as sunshine in a beautiful garden or seeing rainbows break the tense ferocity of storm clouds.

I am grateful that I could linger an play paparazzi to this budding starlet.

I told you being a grandparent was the best. Too bad you were stubborn and fought it for so long!
