Olivia June








Our sweet little Livvy June joined our family on April 26th at 12:26 in the afternoon. Only 4 hours of labor from start to finish was a blessing for me. She is strong and healthy, although I've been unable to produce the milk she needs to maintain her body weight, so it looks like she'll be a formula baby too. Although it bums me out not to be able to nurse her, I'm glad she'll be able to thrive. Everyone here is enamored with her, and her brothers and sister absolutely adore her! I'm so glad she's a part of our family!

Oh Annie! How darling is she? I love all of that hair. Brittany, Diana, Rachel, and Richard all had a head of hair like that. It's so fun! Your kids all look so proud. I am sure she will fit right in and become one of the gang in no time! Glad to hear you are feeling OK and don't worry, I was never a good cow!

I'm so glad Kena got her sister! That picture of the two of them is so darling. I am happy everything went so well (minus the milk thing)! Take care!

Annie, what a sweet baby. Aren't they all? So do you think it is because they so recently were with the Angels? I do. How I wish I could be there for a few days. I recently counted up my great-grand-kids and I came up with 79. Olivia makes 80. How wealthy am I? And very blessed also. And I can name all of them too. Sometimes I have to think about some of them but that is ubderstandable. If I had a car I wouls have driven up there for a few days. The whole family flew out to Maryland this morning very early. Chris is getting married Saturday in the Washington DC Temple. Her name is Christina and I just love her. She and Chris are so much alike. I was going to go but wisely decided not to. It would have worn me out. It would have been a whirlwind few days then rush back home. Michael and Sarah are now at Fort Hood in Texas. They came through here on their way there a few weeks ago. When you get rested up and feel like it I would love to hear from you viw email. Love you so much. Grandma E.

I sent an email to your sleepless in Arvada email account. Is that still a good account to use Grandma?
