Lily arrived on Thursday! Here she is 1 1/2 hours old peeking at the world…
I got the call from my son in Germany telling me she had arrived around 5:30 in the morning and I haven’t stopped smiling since! Amazing how much happiness a new granddaughter can bring! Lily won’t remember being 1 1/2 hours old but I’ll never forget! Everything I do lately reminds me of her!
Lily is my newest inspiration. Who knows where it will lead? Welcome to the world my sweet little granddaughter!
XXXOOO,
Your Grandmother :>)
I just had a new granddaughter born April 22nd and I have 11 grandchildren and another (grandson) due on July 7th. No matter how many you get the are so special. They make life special. They need their grandma.
Beautiful little girl. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulatiions Anne! Lily is perfectly beautiful and precious. We have a new baby Lily at our church as well. Love the name Lily. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful news with us.
Hi Anne..
Babies are a coming in Germany. My son and daughter in law gave me my newest Grandson on Wednesday May 25,2011. He is a cutie and not being able to see him in person is hard. SKYPE will have to do for now. Congratulations.
Well, duh!! I read this the other day, and couldn’t figure out where to say how absolutely beautiful she is !! What a wonderful feeling to have a granddaughter!! I have double the pleasure!! Congratulations!!
What a sweet beautiful awesome blessings. Lilly is precious. Congratulations!!!
She is very pretty. Congrats ;-) I’m sure she’ll find out soon how proud her grandmother is ;-)
Congratulations! Grandchildren are the best. I always thought children made your life complete until I had grandchildren…now my life is complete!
Truely Congratulations are in order! Aren’t they the most wonderful little beings there ever were? And it’s just soooo different than when we had our own children! Hopefully you will get to see her in the flesh really soon!
Glad that the weather was good while you were here in Utah… it sure hasn’t been very good since!
We have had close to 5 inches of rain just in May! A new record! Yep, and there are tons of people that are having their basements flooded too…
Hopefully Summer will be here soon… but not too hot… that would bring down the snow faster than we want!
Parabéns!
Deus abençoe sempre sua família e ainda mais com a chegada desta princesa.
Beijos no coração

She is beautiful and so tiny and precious. I have 2 grandsons whom I just adore but I would have loved a grandaughter to sew for all these frilly clothes. Congrats to you and your family. Blessings and hugs to the little one Sandra
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! Since she’s named Lily it would be appropriate if you made her a dress out of your Lilly & Will fabric like I found on this website. Such a cute picture of the 2 granddaughters of the woman that designed the chocolate rabbit embroidery that goes so well with the fabric you designed.

Hi Anne,
Congratulations on your new grand daughter. Remember we commented (when you came home from your son’s wedding in Germany) that my son also lived in Europe (Zwitzerland)?
My grand daughter is today 11 months old and they have already been some 3 times to Sao Paulo (Brazil) to visit. It is amazing to have Sophie with us. I wish that you have lots of love from her and from your son and daughter in law, ’cause I know that you will have a lot to give them too.
Take care

Oh congratulations! She is absolutely adorable. I was just telling my DH that someone we know needs to have another baby so I can snuggle with it. My baby is 4 1/2 so it has been too long since I have held a wee little one. Luckily my 4 year old likes to snuggle but since we are done with our family someone else is going to have to provide me with a baby to kiss and hug! You are a lucky Grandma!
wow, Nice! good for you Grandma! That is one lucky little lily! Celebrate!
What an awesome photo of a very beautiful baby. Congrats to you entire family! Have you booked your flight yet??
Congrats Grandma! What a wonderful gift she is! Grandchildren bring such joy and fun!!! Hugs,
Mickie
