Big Sister

As some of you know, we had another granddaughter arrive five days after Christmas, which is why we have been in Austin for so long.

The nursery was all ready for little Margaret Lynn, who they will call Maggie, even though she arrived two weeks early.


 Hannah had even graduated from Big Sister school, where she learned everything she will need to know in helping care for her new little Sis..
So what do we do with big sis while Mom and Maggie are in the hospital all week? Mom thought of everything and enrolled Hannah in a riding school that is on a beautiful multi acre ranch right in the city.
There was even a graduation day for that .. We watched Hannah go through the paces with her horse Poco..not missing a single step..
Mom and Maggie have finally arrived home after a few minor complications that kept them all week, and we have returned to Ft. Worth where wehope things will settle down to a regular slow pace around here.
Medical update: I have an appointment with an orthopedic doctor this week and will probably start physical therapy on my still ailing right arm...although I am amazed at how good I have gotten using my left arm. :) I have missed blogging and hope to get caught up with what all of you have been up to.

  1. That must be great for big sister to have a little sister now. You did a nice job to care for the family while mother and baby were still in hospital. Hop your arm will be better soon. Wish you all the best!

  2. A new baby sister for Hannah will be a delight for her, and a new lifelong friend.
    Hope that starting physiotherapy helps your ailing right arm to improve quickly.

  5. Dearest Janey,
    What a lovely distraction for big sis Hannah, while her Mom with baby Maggie were still at the hospital. Glad they returned home and their life can go slowly back to routine again.
    As for you, healing time at our age takes a lot longer so patience is the BIG thing! Hope things make steady progress and that indeed you get back to your usual and normal routine soon.
    Hugs,
    Mariette
