Marisa’s Birth Announcement…

I wanted to create a birth announcement for Marisa, since all the other grandchildren have had one designed.

She is just a precious soul and Grammie loves her to pieces!

I have a BIG announcement to make….drum roll please!

Marisa’s parents have asked me to be Marisa’s nanny when her mommy goes back to work! Can you believe this? I am very honored and pray that I am up to the task…smile. I am not as young as I used to be, as the saying goes.

It will be for one year only. They just feel she is too young to be put in daycare, they know she will be in much better hands with Grammie. I have accepted the position and will start at the end of May.

The photography business will go back to part time and only on weekends for the next year.

I hope you will keep Marisa and I in your prayers…we will need it. Smile.

Of course, expect to see a little more of Marisa than usual here on the blog, you don’t mind do you?

Congratulations! They have made an excellent decision – and so have you. This is surely the best for a little child! (And maybe for grammie as well…?) My children spent much time together with their grammie, and didn’t have to go to daycare too early. Congrats to you all!

You will LOVE having her all that time I’m sure. You will have a most special bond too.
I’m so happy that all 3 of my kids were cared for by their g’mas when I went back to work. A blessing for all.

This is gorgeous, and bless you for agreeing to be nanny. I was blessed that my parents agreed to watch my kids the first two years (I wanted them to be able to talk and tell me what was going on at daycare! Paranoid? Yes!) Prayers for both of you, though!

What a beauty. She’s adorable. I loved being a full time, having fun, helping spoil and teach my grandson. I was more relaxed and enjoyed it more than when I was rushed with babies of my own. What fun to be a grammy/nanny. He’s eight now and I miss having him around daily, but we have such a bond. Congratulations to you and grandpa and the proud parents and the baby brother. 🙂
