"Will You Still Love Me?"
"Will You Still Need Me?"
"When I'm 69?"
The Beatles




"My Babies and Me!"



Never a dull moment around here.
Alway's too much to do, and it seems, 
I can't get out of it.
I tell them, 
"hey, my feet hurt."
I tell them all,
"hey, I am not getting any younger!"
"But mama, 69 is the new 30!"

"No one can do it like you mom."
And just like that, 
I feel like I am 30 again!
Just like that!

69 and holding!


It is amazing how a compliment, or an encouraging word from one's own children, and grandchildren make a parent feel,
 over the moon, and back again!
And visa versa!
I am feeling good!
Sometimes they even give me flowers!


"Life is a flower of which, love is the honey!"
Victor Hugo





 Surprised that my little princesses,
who have grown-up to be Queens,
love me still. 
I dressed them, well, like little princesses!



As frilly as possible!



After all, I learned this from my mother,
and I quote, "all girls are princesses!"  


Princess Kendra and Princess Jessica 
 Daughters of 
"Randall the Magnificent!" 
From the House of "Bailey!"



I insisted they take piano lessons.
  ballet lessons, and go to Charm school. 
But, the most important lesson, 
I hope they learned from me, 
is to pray.
To show love unconditionally,
 as Jesus said. 




And yet they love me still!





Kendra and Jessica



Kendra and Jessica



Jessica is 2 years old. 




Kendra is 13 months old. I sewed our Easter outfits. 
The Pink suit, and Blue Dotted Swiss Dress, even her Bonnet!





I think she loves her mommy! Jessica and Cailyn! I know this photo is blurred, but it is so cute!







Kendra and I on her Birthday!









It seems I need my sweet girls more with every breath!
As time goes faster, love for my girls grows deeper!
Remember my babies, 
there is someone who loves you even more than I!  
Jesus!
