Got up and got my chores done yesterday. Used the tractor and then pushed snow and moved bales around so they were handier to get to not stuck in snow drifts. Then I was going to go in and pickup Cindy, who stayed in and we were going on to Rapid to get some pellets for the stove and a used washing machine. I picked her up at 2 and we headed to Rapid. Got the washing machine and went and got pellets. Ran into a neighbor and a friend and did some visiting then headed for home. Got almost home and got a call from Chance that Hope was in labor. So we tromped on it, got home and Cindy got cleaned up a bit while I was unloading the stuff from the pickup and getting her car warmed up. We were pretty worried as Hope has had so much trouble keeping this one. And she wasn’t do for several more weeks. Chance was on his way up from Nebraska with the pickup and trailer and their stuff. Hope had just come home that morning from helping organize so they could load stuff.

Just before we went to walk out the door and head back to Rapid, Hope’s sister called and said she had the baby and mom and baby girl were doing fine.

So we have another grand daughter. Adelaide Elizabeth I think is her name. Big ol’ name for a tinyΒ  little girl. But she looked good when we got there to see her and pick up her brothers to come stay with us for a day or two. I think Hope will have to stay for a bit as she had some hemorrhaging or something. Sure glad this one is all tied up and in the bag. We were pretty worried for a spell, afraid it wouldn’t work out this well. Who sez prayers don’t work? πŸ˜‰

  1. Oh wow! Congratulations to Chance and Hope! They have a little girl, how cool! Two granddaughters, one right after the other. That’s awesome πŸ˜€ So glad that Hope and the baby are doing well, that must be a real relief for all of you!!

  2. Congratulations to you and your family! I hope Hope has a full recovery but also takes advantage of this time in the hospital to rest as she’ll be busy when she gets home. And you’d better have plenty of horses for all these grandkids to ride as they get older, Grandpa! ;-p
