UPDATE: My daughter-in-love came home from the hospital and she said my son is taking good care of her and Zeke and for that I am most grateful. God is so good to me. UPDATE: My sweet daughter-in-love is in the hospital and may be there through Thursday - she is a sick young woman - and has a serious case of pneumonia! PRAY FOR HEALING! I am going over to keep Zeke today and tomorrow at their house. Love y'all -
I have spent the entire day - today - Valentine's Day - with my new love...Zeke, my 6 month old grandson! I call it "Plan B" for Blessings and for Boys! Blessings because I am so blessed to be Gran Jan, and BOYS, for you see - I am the momma of his daddy - the mother of boys, the grandmother of a boy...hence, Plan B! (I wrote an earlier post about this a while back.)
Plan B was put into action early this morning when my first-born son called and asked me to come get Zeke for the day. He had to study some more for his sermon tomorrow because he has been sick this week, and his wife, my daughter-in-love is also very sick (on the verge of pneumonia) and needed to rest. I had a BLAST with Plan B today - we played, we read the story of Jonah from the Bible Story Book, we rocked, we sang songs, we took several naps, I fed him 3 times - and we bonded. So on this day, Zeke's first Valentine's Day of his little life, I was able to spend the whole day with him. I am so thankful - God is good, and God is Love - perfect love. The purest and sweetest love of all is because of Jesus, and for that I am thankful as I celebrate this day of LOVE.
Blessings, boys, bonding... Grateful Gran Jan

I just had to see who this lovely lady Beth Moore refers to as Georgia Jan is....and here you are!
Well you are precious!! I was so filled with sweet and peaceful joy reading about that gorgeous bundle of love, Zeke!
Oh that just stirs longing in me for my Plan B~
I have one son, 22 and he has no plans for marriage and right now..that is a good thing. But honestly I miss bonding with a baby boy.
My daughter was a handfull, but my son grew too fast and the bonding wasn't long enough..I miss it.
Thank you for this beautiful moment of memories.
Love and blessings,
Teri
p.s I'm a friend of Yolanda's and found you through her blog
Hello Jan,
My day today was similar to yours! My husband and I kept our 3-year-old granddaughter and her 2-month-old little brother while our son and daughter-in-law had the day to themselves for Valentine's Day. This was their first time out without having one or other of the kids with them since the baby came and they said they had a great time eating out and shopping a bit. I can tell you love being a grandmother and so do I !

Zeke is so precious! I remember the plan "B" post. It stays close by because I am plan "B", minus the grandson for right now. lol
