The first granddaughter born to us among our grandchildren after four grown grandsons...
You were named for Norah Jones because your mother and father danced to her "Come Away With Me" for the first dance at their wedding.......
A bright light dazzled our eyes as we watched you eat your sweet potatoes, Nora...
And read your books...
And play with your new musical instruments...
And then try out the box they came in for size...
You reached for the bubbles your mommie blew...
And flew down the slide secure in daddy's arms...
And your smiles lit up our world...
Goodbye until next time, sweet Nora...
[Good-bye=contraction of God be with ye.]
This blogger was in a blue funk for days after leaving sweet Nora. Can you blame me?
Nora is as sweet as can be. Isn't it great to finally have a little girl in the family? The exact same thing happened to me. Two sons, three grandsons and then came Sara! And she is all frilly girl...loves link, dolls and sparkle. How I love being around her. Can't wait till our next Tennessee trip.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, Dewena! Such a happy little girl. And you and R.H. just glowing. Our oldest grand is 16, so we will have to wait a bit for great-grands.
ReplyDeleteI like the name Nora. I have a cousin in E Colorado by that name.
Nora. I like that name. She is a cute little sweetie and looks so happy. We love our visits with our two little girls and look forward to the next one. They grow and change so quickly!
ReplyDeleteSweet girl,sweet photos. I love how she got her name. Norah Jones is one of my favorites and Come Away With Me one of my favorites of her songs... Lovely... Blessings. Dixie
ReplyDeleteOh Sis, she is so cute & sweet; just want to hug her too. I look forward to seeing my youngest granddaughter in TN in a couple of weeks. So happy you got to be with her on her first Easter. See you soon, love Deb
ReplyDeleteIf that wasn't the sweetest little face that ever was! What a blessing that baby is!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little doll! Withdrawal? Yes, how well I know!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful is she and that smile-just precious.
ReplyDeleteYes I understand why you'd be blue.

Nora is such a sweetie pie! What a delight to have a darling little granddaughter.

ReplyDeleteI am in a funk already along with you! I could see her every day!
ReplyDeleteOh she is such a sweet little cutie: I just want to snatch her up into my rocking chair and cuddle her
Nora looks like an engaging, active, beautiful little girl. Spoil her with kid gloves, Dewena.

Thanks for posting Mom. Nora really is a sweetie. She is so happy to be over her little 2 day bug. I played with her for 45 minutes this morning. We chased the cats around the house and went outside to swing in the hammock. I think she will be up for a road trip to Nashville soon to come see you.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a sweetie she is :)
ReplyDeleteNora you are a sweet looking baby!!! Come away with me .... love that song now I will think of your sweet noras smile...

What a beautiful child. I know you are proud.
ReplyDeleteShe could not be more adorable. Love that close up of her in the swing and the one with the bubbles. Bubbles are so much fun with babies. I apologize for not coming to visit as I get lost in my garden during this time of year. hugs, Olive
ReplyDeleteI know you must miss that sweet little face!
ReplyDeleteDewena, Nora is absolutely adorable. No wonder you miss her. What a sweet girl.
