Tutu Angels


Most of the family got together over the long weekend in August for the traditional Glengarry Games and it was the first time the two babies were together. These grandaughters of mine are beautiful beyond description! They each have the biggest, bluest eyes and while they are two months apart...almost to the day...they are almost the same size.

Kim brought up the loveliest tutus made by a friend in Halifax and I went crazy taking photos of them. The babies were less impressed with the whole thing than I was but then this type of event is what sends a grandmother into photo/laugh oblivion.

I count my blessing every day that I have a family that is healthy and happy. I like to think that we are solely responsible for raising 3 incredible sons, who each picked 3 wonderful wives, who had heathly, sweet children but I know it's not the case. It's hard work but there's also an element of 'luck' involved here, over-and-above each of their upbringing. Whatever has contributed to the happiness that exists in this expanding family, I'm grateful!
