It's May 16 and there's a new girl in town....Amelia Rose Haskamp....very much loved and wanted child of Missy and Ben Haskamp and we couldn't be happier. She is our 4th granddaughter - we don't seem to know how to make boys in this family. But who cares? She's healthy and beautiful and so, so wanted. We thought for awhile that Miss and Ben might not be blessed with children, and that would have made me soooo sad because they will be GREAT parents...just like our son and daughter-in-law, Andy and Sarah. They have THREE girls...woe to Andy....:)
Amelia was stubborn, but finally came into our lives in the wee early hours of April 21. She was tall, slender and had a shock of black hair...very unusual in our German family. Her eyes are dark, but we are hoping they turn into her Daddy's GORGEOUS blue eyes with looonggg eyelashes. Her mamma and daddy are adjusting slowly to parenthood as we all did. She kind of has her days and nights mixed up, but that's normal, too.
She has already make her first "road trip" - unfortunately to her Daddy's uncle's funeral in Glasgow, but that was great fun for her as she was held and caudled all day by all of her relatives.....much to the chagrin of her parents. But how could they help it? I can't.
Welcome, dearest Amelia Rose Haskamp. You made this Grandma a very, very happy one.
Love, Grandma
