A Welcome to Grandchild #10

 

I just had to come back to blogland to introduce you to our newest grandson, Ganon. He is grandchild # 10 for me and Tim. Naturally, being a proud Grandmother, I think he is quite a handsome little fellow.
 

I have a feeling Reece and Brigam are going to be fighting over who gets to hold Ganon most! They are both pretty fond of him already I hear.
 

I just have to show all of you ladies that are relishing the arrival of Spring to take a look at my Spring.
 

This is a better photo showing the height of the snow pile in comparison to my clothes line. But we are at the melting stage. See the brown grass?
That is encouraging, at least.
 
I've been busy painting and de-cluttering-again. It seems to be never ending. The de-cluttering, not the
painting! I've noticed a pattern to my madness. I clean one room, then carry the junk from that room to hide in a closet in another room. When I get to that room, a few things are discarded, then the rest goes to another hiding place. When I get to the last room for de-cluttering I am usually ready to rid myself of those items that I've hauled from room, to room, to room. Whew, I just get tired reliving it all.
Someone tell me why I don't just chuck it the first time around.
 
Soon I will have to show you my simplified kitchen. You won't believe how stripped down it is. I'm truly proud of myself.
 I have to show you soon, before I start filling it with stuff again. I am not a sick hoarder, honest, even though I sound like one!
 
If I'm not back before Easter, friends, I pray yours is a most blessed one.
Kim

  1. Oh my! Ganon is a handsome boy...adorable! How wonderful that his brothers are smitten. They're pretty adorable themselves!

    Feeling your pain about decluttering. I do the very same things. My "closet" is the trunk of my car. When it is full, I know that it is time to go drop it off someplace IF I can resist the urge to haul things back out. Oh dear!

    Can't wait to see your kitchen! I find myself wondering what you could have possibly done.

  2. What a handsome sweetie! His brothers are handsome too. I love their smiles.

    Decluttering is something I'm working on too. It does feel good to weed things out.

    Happy Spring and have a Happy Easter ~ FlowerLady

  4. What a cutie! He looks good with lots of hair and eyes wide open! Not bad considering what he just went through! I should look so good! LOL! I love the picture of the brothers....they're a hoot!
    I can definitely relate to your moving things from room to room. I only give myself a pat on the back if there are lots of cleaning rags in the wash and/or there are 2 garbage containers to take out on Garbage Day instead of one! LOL! Good for you! i can't wait to see your kitchen.

    1. My son says Ganon's hair look red, so we may have 2 red headed grands now.
      I'm amazed at how alert he looks too.

  8. Congratulations to all of you on the arrival of Ganon! What distinguished names he and his brothers have.

    I am very familiar with taking things to another room as a means to reducing the clutter!

    I hope a springlike spring comes soon for you,

  9. Congratulations on your newest grandson, Kimberly! He is adorable, and it looks like he has some attentive role-models to help guide him through life.

    Good luck on your continuing efforts to purge. It can be such a daunting task.

    You really do have a lot of snow....yikes! I'm not sure how much actual Spring weather we will get here in the AZ desert. It's typically a rather short season and seems to rush too quickly into Summer. Good thing I have lots of inside things to do when the temps begin to soar.

    Warm hugs,
    Carol

    1. Carol, your weather is opposite to mine. We don't usually get out of the 70's in the summer even.

  11. Ganon, a real sweetie, and the big boys look so happy too. Snow, now if you were short no need for a ladder to hang out the laundry. Hope you have a wonderful Easter, hugs to you all in your home and your family.

  13. What a beautiful little boy to add to your family. I love the look on the boys faces.
    That is still such a lot of snow.
    I need to be painting soon. Then I am sure I will be doing lots of decluttering. I have so few closets I won't be able to move it. :) So nice to see your post.

      I really dislike painting, but it is one way of getting a perspective on what you really want to be hanging on the walls.
      Thanks for dropping by. I've been such a bad blogger lately, I wasn't sure if anyone would remember me!
