This is Elijah Daniel Silver--and he is VERY cute!!!!
Now I am a grandma at 60--and I just heard of someone who became one at 78--so I can't complain.
I have been in heaven in many ways. It was WONDERFUL to pick Erin up. We met most of her significant people--and they viewed her as an angel sent from God to bless them. What an experience!
This week has been bittersweet, with Erin being delightful--and me making the good choice to stop and enjoy her--while also finishing a week at school and getting most of two batches done--and gosh--that's been a miracle in itself.
Also, I was explaining that Ivan and I have had a window of time (2 years) in which we were moderately prosperous. It will change a bit downward when Ivan becomes retired next January. And Erin pointed out that during that time she has served a mission, Tyson was married, Ryan joined the service (and we got to support him in San Diego), Alayna had her first baby, and we get to visit, and Amanda is getting married. The prosperity has gone for good purposes, and it has really has been a tender mercy!
Oh, and our flowers have never been so profuse and lush! The place is truly beautiful right now--despite me not getting outside to help out at all. sigh--but another tender mercy that all the other years of work continue to pay off--thanks to Teryl and Ivan. I wish there were time to take pictures--I'm flying out to Austin in a couple of hours--but there have been plenty of pictures--just image the flowers twice as lovely!
