Mira’s First Christmas

Photo: Mira's first Christmas!

This is Mira…my granddaughter…this photo was taken on Christmas Day.  Mira was dressed in her red flowered Christmas dress but it was so warm that she didn’t need a blouse under it or the cute tights that her Auntie Mahan had bought for her.  She’s four months old now and I’m enjoying her company three days a week and loving every minute with her.  It seems like every week she’s learning and accomplishing more skills.  She’s trying out all kinds of sounds with her voice…sometimes turning them into “singing”.  She’s a good girl, a delight…I’m so fortunate to be in her company.

Devoted

Nothing could have prepared me,
although I thought that I was ready.

I had months to peruse and ponder,
feathering my nest, feeling excited.

And I wasn’t sure, but I thought I could;
I was up for the challenge…baby on board!

Taking care, eating right, cradling
you carefully, everywhere day and night.

Some days held doubts, I was sure that I would fail,
who did I think I was to be taking on such a task?

No turning back, and I didn’t want to,
I was devoted to you and would do my best.

Mira

This is Mira.  She’s my first grandchild.  She’s two months old.  She and her parents went on a road trip this past week to attend a wedding in South Carolina.  This photo was taken along the way.  She apparently enjoyed the trip and was a good little traveler.

These days I’m spending three days a week with her while her parents are at work.  I LOVE her!
