Beautiful photo of my daughter, Rose, during her first pregnancy with her son, Silas. Photography done by Samantha Demeulenaere of Sykesville, Maryland.

My family and I performed a traditional Native American Blessingway ceremony for my daughter, Rose. This is a rite of passage into motherhood.

My daughters Ariana, Michaela-Rose, and Gabrielle on Thanksgiving touching Rose’s pregnant belly.

A special bellycast made by my daughter Gabrielle, and decorated with handprints from all different family members.

My first grandson, Silas James was born on March 10th, 2018 at 4:41pm. 8lbs 9oz.

I was finally introduced to my grandson after a trip back to Maryland!
