A is for Ambrynn

January 17, 2008 By Carole

When I did the 2006 ABC Along I had a rule that I wouldn’t use any people for my letter posts. This time around, though, things are going to be different. I mean, really, how could I not choose my beautiful little granddaughter to represent the letter A in my life?

ambrynn_christmas_08.jpg

This little angel stole my heart from the first time I saw her (you can read about that here, if you’d like) and I miss her desperately now that she has moved to Florida with her mom and dad. She’s 2 1/2 and time is passing too quickly. Her father tells us that she has developed quite a stubborn streak and the terrible twos have arrived in full force. But I’m her nana and it’s hard for me to imagine her as being anything other than sweet and lovable.

ambrynn_beach_07.jpg

Soon, though, I won’t have to imagine at all. You see, A is also for Airplane and on Saturday Dale and I will be boarding an airplane and flying to Florida for a little visit.

I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. Turns out A is also for Anticipation.
