The BIG news is that in less than six weeks, I will have a daughter-in-law. Zachary, the Hunter, will be taking Candice for his wife and bringing her two daughters into our lives as well! I am very excited and looking forward to having a daughter-in-love and some grandgirls! We've all been busy making arrangements for a beach wedding...
...which explains the MIA. All available Internet time has been in search of accommodations and sending e-mails at the speed of light to coordinate schedules. The good news is that a wedding spot has been secured along with lodging for all. Whew! I was delighted to have been invited to go with Candice to look for her wedding dress yesterday; and, that is settled, too!
How fortunate for me that I had started this shawl in the colors of sand and surf... dreaming of weighty linen and soft cotton; warm breezes and lapping waves; and, of course, picking up sea shells with my Little Men. ;)
I'm off to catch up with everyone!! blessings ~ Tanna

Congrats on the good news. I didn't even know you had a son. So that is news to me.
Congratulations! I bet the celebration will be perfect :) P.S. Love your knitting project!!
Oh my goodness! LOVE the colors. And a new DIL and 2 little grand girls? Aren't you the lucky one!!!! Don't forget to keep us updated. Many hugs, Susan
I can happily say that DILs are wonderful additions to the family!! Our older son, Adam, had a beach wedding and I chose the same colors as your shawl for my ensemble!! I was also fortunate enough to be with Stefan's lovely wife, Elyssa, when she found her wedding gown. Enjoy the challenge of getting it all together and the excitement of the event. I hope you'll share it with us!!
Best,
Bonnie
You are using gorgeous soft colors, and what exciting news about a new daughter in love, and grandkids.
Wonderful colors for a wonderful event! Congratulations, MOG, and how fantastic to have to new "grand girls!" Sounds like you have some good times ahead of you! Enjoy! (I did think you were MIA--see we keep track of each other in this "Blorld"--how's that for a made up word?)
Blessings to all!

A Beach wedding...that sounds so wonderful. How special that you got to be with Candice when she picked out her dress.
Your attire will be perfect.
Good grief! I'm already behind in figuring out the wedding attire! Everyone else knows exactly what they're doing. I'd better start now. It's gonna be here before we know it!

Perfect choice for the beach. Congratulations! I'll bet you can't wait even though there a million things to do.
Congratulations, Tanna! What wonderful and exciting news! You will soon be knitting beautiful gifts fro your DIL and grand girls. I love your shawl and the idea pf a beach wedding is so romantic!
As someone who has been busy trying to arrange bridal shower and wedding plans for my daughter, I completely understand the amount of phone calls, etc, that you had to go through. Now I have to search for a dress... hope I find one quickly!
I am so happy for you all! A beach wedding sounds fantastic and more grandchildren is terrific. You know I'm loving this grandma thing! So sorry I've been MIA myself. So busy at work, busy with family, you know the drill! They're getting discharged from this hospital today so hopefully a more normal schedule will be in place soon. Congratulations again - enjoy the many blessings coming your way!
My how time flies. I guess I didn't think you were MIA because I've still been getting comments -- but your last post was in January! Yikes! I tell ya, the next 6 weeks will go by in the blink of an eye. Love the colors you've chosen for the shawl. Congrats to all! Best wishes, Tammy
Congratulations! How exciting! It's hard for me to imagine a beach wedding at this time of year. Sounds lovely!
Oh, WOW! I really like that color combination! I think I'll work with these colors a bit (although I don't knit) in some of my other crafts.
How exciting for your family... lovely colors!
Congratulations! That shawl is going to be beautiful and what a wonderful time of year for a beach wedding. Pictures I hope to follow!
