Another blessed day

Well yesterday I had something totally different on my calendar then what actually happened and boy am I glad.  I had planned on going to a horsey thing. It would have been fun and informative I am sure.  But instead I spent the day with two of my favorite girls.

Cambria is seven now. I first met Cami when she was in her Mommy's tummy. Judi and Tim were our bible study leaders.  Judi was very pregnant and instead of listening to Tim I would stare at Cami swirling around in Judi's tummy. It was mesmerising. Cami was a very active girl already and she hadn't even been introduced to the outside world yet. We should have known. Cami has blossomed into a beautiful girl with an active spirit.  I know she will be something very special when she grows up.  She takes after her daddy for sure.

Then there is Miss Madison.  By the time Maddie was born Judi and I had developed a very very special relationship.  Even though our ages were to close to be mother and daughter ( I am very much older than Judi but I would have had to be pretty darn young to have been her mother) we had kind of that special bond a mother and daughter might have. I was very blessed to be in the delivery room with family when Maddie was born. All I can say is WOW!!!!  What an experience to see that brand new life right after she was born.  Even though I wasn't a blood relative to me Maddie was my third grand baby. 

Tim and Judi have an son, Ryan, who is now 10 if I can remember right. Ryan was 2 when I first met him.

So for about the first five years or so of the girls life I was like a grandma in tow.  Tim's mom lives up in the Northwest and came as often as she could to see the kids.  But for me, what an amazing blessing in my life.  For those of you who know me there are two things in this world that make me tick.  Kids and animals.  I am so grateful that Tim and Judi let me be such a big part of the kids lives. 

Yesterday was such a wonderful day. The girls were on their best behavior and we all had such fun.  Cami remembered to where jeans and boots so she could ride and ride we did.  Both Cami and Maddie rode little Minnie around and around by themselves.  I was so proud of them and my Minnie. What a special little horse she is. She was a gift from the very beginning.  Just one of those horses that takes such good care of her rider.

I am kinda blabbing along here but I just had to share my wonderful day with the girls. Just one of my perks in life.  Just a few more days and I will be with Jordan. Whew....... I will be on overload I am sure. 

I can hear a chicken outside having a fit.  I wonder what's up? I will grab some clothes and go find out.  After all the sun is up so I best be gettin to my chores.  That's country lingo you know.

Love you all !!!!!
