So after the little celebration I hiked to the cross with a friend and enjoyed having some very quiet moments up near the cross as most people had been and gone.
As we were home and having dinner, my phone rang and it was my daughter in law...she was in labour three weeks early! It was just like it was five years ago except now they live in town and not on the mainland.
Within a few hours their youngest son, the two year old was dropped off for the duration and their five year old son would join us in the morning. They would stay with me while we waited the new ones arrival.
We had a great day on Saturday, celebrated Easter dinner with all the family and continued to wait. Come Easter morning we all gathered together to share in breakfast and the annual Nana's Easter egg hunt.
I think I have more fun that they do but they seem to enjoy finding the eggs that are the same colour as their basket. We then headed off to the park where the five littles, played on the playground and we waited some more. Finally we got the call, son number three had arrived! My son grew up with two sisters and always begged for me to have another baby so that he could have a younger brother. Now that he has three sons I feel his wish has been granted, maybe not the way he had planned it but still, he loves his boys with all his heart.
Little Roman arrived in this world on Easter morning, a true Easter blessing for all of us. The timing was perfect and I was able to have five days with the two older brothers before they all went home and began their life,now as a family of five.
I am so thrilled to be the Nana to six littles! What could be more rewarding than that in life! They are all so unique and special in their own little ways and they are all so very dear to my heart. One can't help but wonder what gifts they will each bring to this world, what life will offer them. I hope only the best for them all.
Catching up on your blog. This lovely. You are all blessed!
