Welcoming New Granddaughter

Welcoming Our New Granddaughter

Grandchildren are so special and my hubby and I were blessed with seven wonderful grandchildren.   That number changed over the weekend as we were welcoming our new granddaughter to the family.  When a grandchild is arriving, it’s usually about nine months of waiting for the exciting day.

Our wait was a bit longer, we had to wait TWO and a HALF years!  When our oldest grandson introduced us to his girl friend in February 2014, I knew immediately she would be our granddaughter. CJ picked the perfect flower from the garden of love and he and Achelle are like a match made in Heaven.   Their wedding was an entire weekend event in a Vermont resort (more on that to come) and on Saturday evening I called CJ and Achelle aside to hand her an envelope. Inside was a card letting her know how excited we were to have her as our granddaughter and a small package.  As she opened the package, her mom, CJ, Rich and I were waiting for her to get through the tape.

I found a perfect necklace for our sweet granddaughter, Achelle.  It is a heart shaped pendant with a spinning heart inside that says, “Granddaughter you fill my heart with joy”.

We are thrilled to have Achelle as our new granddaughter, she does exactly what the pendant says, fills our hearts with joy.

Our grandson CJ and granddaughter Achelle are both kind, caring, loving and beautiful  both inside and out, the perfect couple!! They both fill our hearts with love and joy.  My hubby and I love Achelle and we are so excited that she has become a member of our family.
