We had a few days of rain last week, and it's always needed here in California.
Nel and her family is really getting attached to their new kitty, Luca. Nel told me he's very playful and even scratches sometimes, so Mia has to be careful when playing with him. He gets into everything, but they sure do love having him as part of their family. Mia is getting attached to Luca too. The look on her face reminds me of all the fun I had with my dachshund, Cinnamon, when I was little.
Chicken noodle soup and a turkey sandwich sounds good on a cold dreary day. And pumpkin cookies make it even better.
I went to the boutique in my town to find some Fall clothes. I had a gift certificate from before, and I didn't find anything to wear, but I did find this simple leaf painting that reminded me of Fall, so I got that. There are a lot of talented artists and photographers in this area, and they share their work at local craft fairs, businesses, and other places.
Jess went into labor last week, and it was a long night for her and Brian. I couldn't sleep that night cause my Jess was in labor, and that's all this mom could think about. But I nodded off to sleep, and I had a dream.......I was holding a baby, quite a big baby actually, and she was facing me. She just looked at me for a few moments, and then she gave me the sweetest smile. The next morning Jess called me, and around 10:00, she gave birth to a precious baby girl! Told me all the details, and I was so filled with joy that I had a granddaughter.
Say hello to baby Charlotte.
Brian was so supportive the whole night, and Nel took care of the kids while Jess was in the hospital, doing fun things like hot dog and ice cream after school parties. Francesca and Mia were in awe of this tiny person that is now in their lives.
I want to get a mini orange pumpkin and write Charlotte on it, but no pumpkins at the store yet. They said they'll come in next week.
Dear Charlotte, I was reading the book, On The Night You Were Born, and flipped to this page. It reminded me of the dream I had of you. I will read this book to you someday.
All the family loves you so.

Congratulations, dear Sheri! What a precious sweet face! You all must be so excited to have Charlotte safely here. Big sister Francesca will be such a help to Jess and I'm sure her cousin Mia will be too. September will certainly be special for their grandmother. Best wishes to your family,

Charolotte is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love her in that mauve pink outfit and the pictures with the two older girls. I bet they are amazed.
I am glad she arrived safe and your whole family is okay.

Like chicken soup and pumpkin cookies not turkey too much.
We read that story on the Night You Were Born To Andy - loved it.

So very happy for you and your family with the addition of Charlotte to the family. Enjoy!
Now that kitty looks like it is quite patient with the way it is being held. How cute.
Yes, it is about time for falling leaves and pumpkins. Enjoy the season.
Congratulations, I am so, so, so very happy for you all. I love the name Charlotte. Do you know the middle name?

Awwww Congratulations to the family and to you, Sherri. Charlotte is adorable. What a beautiful little bundle of joy.
Love the leaf painting. I would have bought that as well.
Your post gets me all excited about the season - we had some good rain Friday and Sat - and that was so nice. The temps came down and the air was fresh. The rain put down most of those fires up north and to the west.
Happy Sept to you. You have much to be happy about and having a new little healthy granddaughter is the best.
Very nice pictures. Congratulations for you and for all your family for the new member. LOVE, happiness, and JOY.
A truly joyful post Sheri! How exciting, Welcome to the World Charlotte. All these photos are very heartwarming. Fascinating to have that dream, such a sweet one too. The photo of Mia with Luca made me smile. These are important memories for a child. Chicken noodle soup and a turkey sandwich, as well as cookies. Yum, they would make a day better for me too. The leaf painting you found is perfect! Thank you so much for letting us share in Charlotte’s arrival. I am so happy for you all!
Oh so cute photos darling
So beautiful that little baby!
Sheri - congratulations...Charlotte is absolutely adorable. Bet you cannot wait to hold her. So glad Jess got along well. Love the last picture...so sweet. Those pumpkin cookies look excellent. If I am in the area...just might have to stop and have one :)!! Hugs
Thinking of you. Hope all is well.
