Baby Pearce, due date July 15, 2010



And today! The first picture of my youngest (to date) grandchild! He or She is due 07/15/2010.

Please meet either Elliott Elizabeth Pearce or Mason Kohl Pearce. Don't know which name is going to be used yet.

Matthew and Banee had their first ultrasound test done... It is a beautiful baby! I believe a girl, because I had a dream that I would one day have a granddaughter... and MJ and Myrahia's next is a boy... so obviously this is a girl. Besides, I bought pink moccasins and somebody has to wear them! They are planning on keeping the sex of the baby secret until the birth. Like grandma wont kow!

Quick Time Line... to catch everyone up...

Monday, November 23, 2009 - Big Ben is Born! At 32 weeks, that is 7 months to us old timers. He weighed in at a whooping 3lbs and 8oz. Totally gorgeous... perfect in every single way... ahhh... another living breathing miracle. Will have more blogs dedicated directly to him posted very soon.

Thanksgiving, November 26, 2009 - Melissa is let out of the hospital in time for Thanksgiving Dinner. Big Ben is still in the NICU.

Friday, December 11, 2009 - Big Ben is released from the Hospital.

Christmas, December 25, 2009 - Family Christmas at Mom and Dad's house. With the exception of Barrie, Melissa, Benjamin, and Brittney.... we are become sick. Terribly, horribly, deathly sick. For most of us it lasts 24 hours... for Mom, Dad, and me... 4 days.

New Years... Barrie and I went to Cross City to spend the weekend with MJ, Myrahia, and MP3! He is so incredible! He is perfect. He is so much fun. He is so full of love and joy. My heart just burst to be around him and crumbled when we left to go home. He is the most wonderful 2 year old on earth - or will be in March.

I love my children and grandchildren soooooo much. More to be blogged about each of them soon.

New Years Eve!

Well, it is New Year's Eve and Baz and I are preparing for our trip to see the kids in Cross City... I will back track to Christmas and the rest a little bit later.

As copied and moved from the shutterfly account... love both, but hard to work in both!

Today's special because... (Dec 7)
December 7, 2009
Benjamin is one tiny ounce away from 4 pounds... and today is is two week birthday... I am sure he will make it to the 4 pound milestone today.

Banee is celebrating her birrthday! Hooray for Banee! Matthew and Banee put up their tree last night and will probably finish decorations for their new home today... sometime this week I will be going to dinner at their house. They are both on vacation this week and then go back to new jobs... Banee has been transfered to a store closer to her home... and Matt is going to be working in a new shop.

Well, need to get back to work... probably should not be blogging anyway!

I remembered to blog!
December 5, 2009
It seems that my commitement to blogging is based on the holes in my memory. I am very forgetful lately. Perfectly normal for us elderly people apparently... well, according to Shaun - who as the father of my newest grandson has to be given some sort of credibility... he and Melissa did make a perfect baby and all.
You know, I do not know if there is a connection or not, but I never seem to forget to farm or forget to panic if I can't get to my farm on time. Not that I believe for a moment that I have a farmville addiction... but my life does revolve around it. I assure you all, I could quit anytime I wanted! :)
Well now, to fill everyone on in on the ever growing family.
Oldest to youngest...
XZAVIER - an awesome boy who I have been lucky enough to have visit regularly. He plays my fishworld game and is amazing at this game he showed me called ROBLOX. He is one of the most loving kids you could ever meet, but he is also very handsome, funny, and clever to boot. While I do fully understand he is my step-grandson, doesn't it seem that he takes right after me???
Next is Michael. Now this little one does look just like me... we have the same eyes. I heard this from a waitress once when he was a couple of months old and I will not let the comment go. No, she was not just being nice, contrary to what everyone else there thought. They are all obviously jealous! I saw Michael for a few minutes about three weeks ago... so much has happened lately, it boggles the mind that it was that recent. Anyway, he, as always, was brilliant. He is most definitely a daddy's boy though. Does not want to be around anyone but daddy. Now there is one little problem with Michael. Really more of a problem with Michaels whole little family. They live in North Florida. Miles away! For my wonderful family in England - Barrie tells me this is the about the same distance as going from the bottom of England from the top of England.
And the next is Honey Blossom! Again a slight distance problem. Sam, Harriet, and Honey Blossom live in England. My only granddaughter is a milliion (I may exagerate a bit here) miles away. Might as well be the moon - except we can visit England and can not visit the moon. But our little ginger head baby is the sweetest most beautiful baby girl in the world. HINT HINT HINT - SAM AND HARRIET... we would like more pictures!
Now the newest - smallest - and youngest!!! Benjamin! He is totally perfect in everyway. God is pouring his graces on our little Big Ben! He is thriving and as of yesterday was 3 lbs and 11 oz. I visited him with Melissa last night and she allowed me to feed him and hold him. Tell you what - while he was in my arms, I never once thought of my farm! And something so speical about this little guy... when I spoke to him, he smiled. I did refrain from singing, as I did not want to damage such tiny eardrums!
And then... yes, more to come... MJ and Myrahia are expecting Emjay (pronounced MJ) in March.... AND we have just been informed that Matt and Banee are expecting a baby in July.
Now, pictures of all the babies are available on facebook or shutterfly... shutterfly is better...bazandmary.shutterfly.comso please join the page, become a member and then sign in with the family page. Then you too can keep everyone updated on our growing family all over the world.
Closing off for now, Barrie and I have the rooms to complete. Will blog about that again later!
