This is a very special post, for me, to kick off the day and also the fact that Mother's Day weekend is upon us.We are all mothers in one way or the other; whether we have children, pets, or we even nurture our art and all our art works are our "babies"! Sometimes they are hard to let go of right? :)
I am particularly excited about celebrating this Mother's Day as I can now shout this out and want to share it with all of you............................my son and his wife announced to us, on Easter weekend, that they are expecting their first child! Which means.................I'm gonna be a grandma! WOW! This is my first grand child!
It appears that we will greet the new member of the family in mid December!!!!
We got to see the ultrasound picture of the baby during this week which really was quite an emotional moment. It's very exciting! My son and his wife are so happy and they are floating with joy.
I decided, last night, to express their joy and ours on a canvas. This picture is of an 8 x 10 acrylic/mixed media piece that I wanted to symbolize this special news and I'm going to present the collage to my daughter-in-law on Sunday!
We are all praying and keeping positive thoughts for the parents and that the baby will be healthy; that is what is most important.
Thank you all for your support and friendships; your constant inspiration gives me wings and that is why I feel so comfortable sharing this joyous family news with you.
I wish you all a safe and happy day and a wonderful weekend ahead.
Much love always..........................."Grandma" Marilyn xxoo
