I’m so excited!
My daughter is due to have her second child this week. I’m going out of state to be with her and her family. Because it’s so close to Christmas, she’ll need some extra help. My husband and I will spend the holidays with the newly expanded family.
I’ll be going back to help again after her husband returns to work from Family Leave. So I thought this would be a good time to take a blog break. Helping out with a newborn and an almost two year old will keep me pretty busy!
I will miss visiting you in your blog homes. And I’ll miss your visits too! So let’s make a date to see each other in about a month, ok?
Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year to you and yours. May 2014 be “a year of favor from our God” for all of us.
I look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
God’s Blessings,
Ceil

I will be catching up with your blog this week.
Have fun~ Lisa :O)

Congratulation for your grand daughter. I’m so happy for you and your family.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I’m sure you will
I’ll be back here when you’re back.
Much Love,
Delvalina
Congratulations Ceil to you and your whole family! Merry Christmas and richest blessings in the New Year! ~Marcie
oh fun Ceil…a baby(:)
Look at your new look!!!
Ceil, still missing you, but stopping by to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year. Looking forward to continuing our faith journeys in 2014!
GOD BLESS!
Hi Sharon! How fun of you to stop by my new home! It’s not quite ready for prime-time, but it’s getting there!
Happy New Year to you too, and I am excited to get back to blogging in a few weeks. We can get reconnected! Yay!
Blessings to you too my friend
Ceil
Ceil, I see you are doing some rearranging while you are break. I’m sure you’re going to love WordPress, after you get pass the learning curve. I know I sure do. Happy New Year and many blesses to you.
Hi Wanda! Thank you for stopping by today!
I sure didn’t think I’d be doing this, but I had to switch platforms. It’s really new to me, so you’re right about the ‘learning curve.’ I hope you will join me here, as I have to start from scratch with followers…sigh. That’s a bummer.
Happy New Year to you too, may we both be blessed abundantly in this new year!
Ceil
Hi Ceil!
I am having a hard time finding you and sure miss you! I hope all is well…I see you have changed some things and I see new posts on my dashboard, but not when I click on them to come here…
Anyway, miss you!!!!
Hi Billie Jo! I am missing you too, believe me! These past few weeks have been very busy. And I go back to see my daughter and family on Monday, staying there for another week.
I don’t know what to say about the dashboard thing…hmmm. I know that everyone should be forwarded to my new place if they visit my Blogger site, but I didn’t know that the links would be broken. Sigh…
You can sign up here for my posts by email or remote reader. Why not do that? That would work for sure.
Thank you for your sweet note, I really appreciate it. I’ll be back up and running in a few weeks. So glad you found me here!!
Keep warm
Ceil
Ceil, I love your new blog home! Thank you for your comment over on my post the other day. Glad all is well with you, your daughter and grandbaby. Koren is doing well. His MRI results showed no spreading to the bones, etc. So far so good on handling treatments. Very grateful and trusting God for healing for him in 2014.
Hi Anne! Thank you for the update, what great news!
My daughter and grandbaby are both doing well. My daughter is tired! I’m sure you can relate. I go back to stay for a week this Sunday. Then…back to blogging! Yay!
Sending up thanks and praise for Koren (and you!),
Ceil
A new grandchild; how exciting. This will be me in March when I fly out to So CA to help my expecting daughter and help care for their five year old. I’ll be very interested to read about your journey! Be sure to write about the do’s and the don’ts, ok?
Hugs,
Mary
I love your new photo! How nice to see you here
You are going to love it, and be exhausted too. I’m going back there on Sunday to spend the week (my son-in-law goes back to work). I’ll see what words of wisdom I can rustle up for you! lOL!
I hope all is well with your daughter and her family. Right now? Rest up Grandma!
See you in a few weeks,
Ceil
So happy for you and your family -such a blessing to welcome the new family member! Enjoy the stay and the precious moments together – Safe journey and stay warm!
Blessnings Nina
Welcome back to blogland! I love your clean-looking new blog. Congrats on that beautiful new granddaughter. Have a wonderful 2014!
Thank you Deb! I am happy to be back, and connecting again. Are you going to change your blog name? I wondered about that.
Let’s both have a wonderful 2014!
Happy MLK Day,
Ceil
