Mi Querida Familia: Surprising Grandma

Surprising Grandma

Since our trip to California was somewhat unexpected, we decided to surprise my 90-year-old Grandmother (who just had a birthday) with our presence!

Of course, we all know who she really was excited about seeing.

My Dad was pretty excited too.

Of course, there was the obligatory four-generational photo (which I totally LOVE!):

And lots of smiles.

But watching my Grandma watch Danny? My favorite.

I'm Renee. I am first, and only, a child of the King of Kings. I am a wife to my husband who grew up in Costa Rica, and Mama to my two boys, one still on the way. Home is in Colorado Springs, but it's also been in Costa Rica and San Diego. We raise a bilingual household. I am a small business owner. I use cloth diapers, I make my own baby food and I am proud to be a Babywise mom. I am opinionated, outgoing and bold, but Jesus daily brings forth loveliness. I am a Southern California girl who says ya'll and I like to start my sentences with conjunctions. I worship loudly with my eyes closed, my hands up, and (usually) tears streaming down. Writing and speaking are great loves of mine. Skin care is my trade. Jesus and his people are my reason for being and my boys - the most important people in my life - get my kisses daily. I believe in living BIG. In giving EXTRAVAGANTLY. And in loving DEEPLY.
