Lacey's Page

I've just made this layout of my new grandaughter, Lacey. She is two months old now but these photos were taken when she was just two hours old.
I was so pleased when Chris told me they were having a little girl. Each time I got pregnant, I prayed for a daughter but alas, it wasn't to be. I did get four lovely lads and I have never wished they were any different but it would have been nice to have had a daughter. I see how close my sister is to my niece and sometimes regret that I never had that.
And the old saying 'A son is a son till he takes a wife, a daughters a daughter for all of her life' is very true. Since my lads have found partners they have moved out and on with their lives and I don't see them as often, but they visit their partners' mums all the time. Ah well, them's the breaks, I guess.
Anyway, now I have a little girl to spoil. I can buy all the girly things I yearned to buy when I was a mum of sons. All the pink, sparkly, fairy, fluffy things that girls love. After a twenty three year wait I finally get that chance, and I am definitely going to make the most of it. This is one baby girl who will grow up to be a proper girly girl, if grandma has anything to do with it.
