Can you believe it? I can’t!

I remember the day I first met her, it was at her first birthday party, what a cutie! I had known about her before she was here, when DCM first told me that her mommy was expecting. We had been dating a few months when she was born and I hadn’t met his kids just yet. I had been wanting to meet LB for a long time and I still remember the day that he gave me an envelope and when I opened it, it was an invitation to her first birthday party! Really? Oh boy! I couldn’t wait!

The day of the party, I met LB AND the family I hadn’t met yet, Oh boy! It was great, they all made me fell incredibly welcome and I appreciated that so much. LB wasn’t sure about me, but you could tell she loved her grandpa and oh boy, the moment she was born DCM was done!

Since meeting her, we’ve spent time together, playing, dinners even some one on one time with just DCM and I in Las Vegas, so much fun and what a ball of energy! Facetime has been great for us to see and chat with her, sometimes when I was still in Georgia, DCM would Facetime with me and I’d see LB. I had this tissue box with Cookie Monster, Elmo, Ernie and Big Bird, I can do all the voices, so I did and then after a few times, as soon as DCM would get on FaceTime, her first question “Elmo?” uh oh, better get it!

Eventually, now when she gets on Facetime, if I’m not there, “Where’s JJ?” how much do I love that? We love Facetiming with LB, she’s all over the place, reading to us, playing games, informing us of things we might not have known, ratting out her parents, that’s always fun. She is a card!

Happiest of happy birthdays to a great little three year old who has let me into her life and her heart, of course she has invaded my heart and given me the new role of a grandma, which I am la la la loving! Here’s to another year of living, learning and loving! You’re awesome!
