Just wanted to share with my friends...
Tomorrow is my daughter's baby shower. I am more excited than she is! I am so looking forward to being a grandmother. WOO HOOO
As some of you know cakes are my "thing" and i am making her (I hope) a real beauty. It am using a cake stand that I usually use for wedding cakes. I am going to decorate the bottom layer in dark sky blue with clouds, stars , & a sleeping baby i am going to sculpt. the top layer will be a foot above and i am going to hang silver starts from it. The top layer will be blue and white with a baby shoe or a rocking horse. I cut out the stars last night and the cakes are all baked. I will post a picture (if i can figure out how- I have been having trouble posting anything from my trip!

You know Charline, being a grandmother has been my biggest inspriation to make this whole WLS thing work. I love playing with my grandson and granddaughter 3.5 and 1 respectively. I love being able to get down on the floor and play with them, hold them, pick them up and carry them. It is the hugest NSV I have ever had, sitting on the floor for sometimes an hour playing cars and coloring and letting my little granddaughter crawl all over me. All things I could not do just a year ago.
That you can make this lovely cake for your daughter is a blessing too. And your grand child will be so lucky to have a healthy grandmother who is active and eager to create a lot of wonderful memories.
I remember my grandmother was 59 when I was born and she was not able to play with me and passed away far too soon. My other grandmother was 38 when I was born but she did not have time to spend playing with me - she had a child of her own (the last of 13) who was 2 months younger than I. So I try very hard to make sure my grandchildren will be able to say that they remember playing with me and that I was a cool Nana.
You have done so well with your surgery and weight loss. I just know you will be a way cool Nana too.
Congratulations on the little bundle who is on the way to meet you. What a lucky little thing, little do they know all the wonderful birthdays they will have with spectacular cakes created by their awesome grandmother.
