Beauty can be found at fabulous and famous international sites.

Or in one's own backyard.

To the left shows why I call one of my granddaughters Dewdrop.

Beauty that enhances, beauty that inspires;

Brings a sparkle, a freshness and the aura of perfection to all that receive it's gentle touch.

Beauty so pure it must come from God!

The Heavens do declare the Glory of God, but so too, does the gift of a little child!

Glory to you, Lord, for your beauty and love given to us in such gifts!

I'm going for a week to see my new baby, Galilee Light! I love Rosie & Justin's pick of names!

I'm actually pretty lucky, as a grandma with no say on names, to have 7 grandkids with pretty cool names. Names have meaning, and I pray and prayed for the right names to be given.

I think my kids and kids-in-law did a great job of listening to God's heartbeat for their kid's names.

I admit it, I'm so, totally rambling! Valley girl that I am.

Gotta pack, have a good one, all!

Oh, the great names: Bowden David, Lucy Gates, Selah Paix, John Fox (alias Jack), Miles Bradley, Isai Leal, and last, but far from least: Galilee Light!!!!!

(I'm withholding the last names, which really add such character to the first, to provide what little shreds of privacy from the vast Internet world that still might exist.)

Happy Birth- Day Galilee Light!!

I woke up to a wonderful treat- at 6 am!

Today a new member of the Fusano-Paulson- Wentzell clan was born.Galilee Light Paulson-Wentzell!! She is beautiful= weighing in at 7 lbs. 9 oz.

She's round and healthy and beautiful!!!

Sarah got to be with them, thanks to generous loan by Tates and Josh's giant-bed parenting expertise. (see my son-in-law's blog for that feat.)

A new baby with 2 great grandpas. I will let all know when I get the pictures posted on my Nanny site, but I suspect it'll hit the wires before I do so.

I got home and did my fight with technology- these newfangled-DEE-vices and lost, trying to get the text picture of Galilee to you all in e-mail. But I found these pictures.

And the song, "Sunrise, sunset," keeps flowing over my mind like the waves of the ocean.

God gives the wonderful gift of children- new life comes and brings new joy, new hope, new beginnings. ( not to mention new poop, new cries, and, well, you get the picture)

WE are very blessed to have these 2 quality men in our lives, as our heritage. I just saw videos of Nana and Papanan.( My Italian grandparents) The latter I never knew, but feel like I did. I was happy to see him moving, and alive. Galilee is surrounded by those of us who are her gift as she is ours. Shine baby Galilee, with the sunrise you bring! I love you so much already!!!
