Lillian Elizabeth Kramer

June 6, 2011 was an unforgetable, incredible day in the life of the Kramers as the Lord blessed us with our first grandchild, Lillian Elizabeth, at 1:46pm!!! She was 10 lbs. 15.8 oz. and 21" and beautiful!

here's the grandmas waiting - we did not know if baby Kramer was a boy or girl, so we were in great anticipation as we waited .....
it seemed like forever, but finally a proud daddy appeared and as he walked down the hall toward us he proclaimed "It's a Girl!"  and revealed the name they had chosen which they kept secret until this moment: Lillian Elizabeth with "Lilly" as her nickname.  



more to come, have to stop for awhile

Breanna's 1st Birthday

One year ago my cousins, Jason and Ashley's life changed forever. Their little miracle, Breanna was born and began her incredible fight for her life.  Her beautiful story can be seen at: Breanna's Heart  She celebrated her first birthday June 7th.  Here are some pictures from her birthday bash:

Here is the family, Jason & Ashley, Caleb and Breanna - I am posting 2 shots, as eyes were closed on different people in both!  Too bad I don't know how to photoshop!

Here's one of great-grandpa, Orlando, and great-uncle Joe:

Breanna will have her 3rd open heart surgery on June 11th.  She will be in my fervent prayers that the doctor's hands will be skilled and that our Great Physician, Jesus Christ, will protect and heal her.

Happy 21st Birthday, Vince!

Can't believe my youngest is now 21!  He has become a most wonderful and honorable young man and we are so blessed by him.  I thank the Lord for him every day.   For some reason I have no pictures from the eventful day, will have to locate some perhaps from his co-birthday pal, Sarah!  Happy birthday to Sarah as well on her 26th birthday.  Here is a picture of the boys at a recent sox game.  Kenny had just turned 26!  
To all my boys and Sarah ... Always know that I am praying for you and thinking about you and want nothing more than your complete happiness in life. I am so thankful for you.  You have been such a blessing to me and I love you so much!
