Celebrating and realizing each moment as a gift is just a way of life for me now. No, I don't have cake and decorate with streamers every day, but it's just a new attitude of gratitude that I have learned to live out.
Monday, November 1, 2010 brought with it new reason to celebrate and cherish life... my newest grandson, Jakobe 'Kobe' Ryan, came into the world and I was blessed enough to get to witness this miracle, camera in hand.

Thinking back to where I was this time last year, recovering from Bypass Surgery in another town, unable to have the privilege of welcoming my fourth grandchild into the world firsthand... I've come a long way and am so thankful! I can't even begin to put into words the feeling of hanging on to each moment of my daughter's labor and then getting to hold this beautiful little bundle of joy right away. It was almost overwhelming for me. Like I said earlier, I have a new appreciation and gratitude for life. It's better than good!
Congrats to my daughter and her husband... they are truly awesome parents and I couldn't be more proud!
