Janine and knitting / Melody, 6 month pregnant
English version below the picturele 25 avril 2002 j' écrivais dans Xanga : " la grand-mère et le tricot" Presque chaque soir ma
femme Janine tricote pour ses petits enfants . Je suis admiratif . Il est vrai que nous en avons dix et bientôt douze ."
Eh bien je peux écrire la même chose10 ans après, avec la même photo, car Janine tricote toujours, et de plus belle, car cette fois ce n' est pas les 11ème et 12ème petits-enfants que nous attendons mais le 14ème et le 15ème ! Des jumeaux sont attendus pour la mi-Août chez mon fils Jean-Baptiste . C ' est assez dur pour sa femme Melody car les bébés sont grands et forts d'après les examens.
Janine knitting 25 of April 2002 and the same in April-May 2012Kanine tricotant ,25 Avril 2003 ,même chose en Avril- Mai 2012On April 25 , 2002 , I wrote in my Xanga blog " Grandmother and knitting. Almost every evening my wife Janine is knitting for her grandchildren .I am admiring . It ' s true they are ten and soon twelve ...."
I can write the same post 10 years later with the same photo as Janine is knitting more more . But this time it is not for the upcoming 11th and 12th grandchildren but for the 14 and 15th!! Twins are announced at my son Jean-Baptiste ' s for mi-August .The pregnancy is rather hard for his wife Melody because the two babies are strong and tall acording the exams.---------------------Melody, à 6 mois de grossesse
Melody , 6 month pregnant.Mélody était chez nous Dimanche dernier 10 Juin. Elle est souriante mais doit prendre beaucoup de précautions. Les futurs jumeaux pèsent très lourd

Congratulationa. Once again one great news to light up this grey rainy days.
The family is expanding quick and telling us there is hope in the future.
I was curious to find out a new word in the French dictionnary "Blogais" Is it from the verb 'Bloger.' Hmmm!
French must be evolving and Hugo (Victor) should be proud of it.

Wow congats!!! What a beautiful display of love to knitt and think about the new blessings coming to your family. You are truely blessed with so much love around.
Twins!!! How exciting!! Grandmother will be even busier now. I, too, love to make things for my grandchildren but I do not knit, I crochet.
Twin grandchildren-how wonderful. Hope Melody isn't too uncomfortable-carrying twins must be hard work! I imagine that Janine is super busy these days with all the knitting but there's love in every stitch.
Congratulations to all. Janine is the perfect grandmother with her beautiful knitting and her beautiful soul. Sending love to your house from mine
Knitting for babies is soooo much fun! They pretty much love anything you make for them. LOL Congratulations on the twins! Prayers for the new mama that she carries them safely until delivery! :heartbeat: :heartbeat:
Concrats to your family on the upcoming birth of twins. Your son and his wife must be very excited. And of course Grandma and Grandpa can't wait to hold those precious grandchildren. Such an exciting time. Of course, Michel, there will have to be photos presented. For Janine...K 1, P1 etc....project will soon be finished.
love Marilyn
:heartbeat: :heartbeat: two babies! Congratulations!
Answer to@carlo above : I changed the word that was a neologism!!
Instead of "je blogais " I write "j' écrivais dans Xanga"
Twins! Congratulations! Hope all goes well.
Voici enfin percé une partie du mystère des grands-mamans adorées. Il me semblait aussi qu'elles devaient avoir un truc!
Ici les termes "blogue" et "bloguer" font partie de l'usage courant et sont très utilisés. Toujours avec un 'u' cependant, même à l'imparfait. On utilise aussi 'blogue' ou 'carnet web' pour 'weblog'. Contrairement à ce qui se passe en France, on n'utilise jamais "blog" qui est pour nous un mot strictement anglais. Il y a aussi des variantes, voir ici
.
This is wonderful news! I so hope the rest of Melody's pregnancy is easy for her. I imagine that all the things Janine makes are special in your family. Congratulations and....Peace
How exciting!!!
Congrats to all the family who are waiting for the arrival of twins , it must be very exciting for you all. I look forward to seeing photos of the new arrivals, Melody will be in my prayers for a safe delivery. Like Janine I got out my knitting needles when Laura was expecting Vincent, the news of baby must make Grandmothers get out their needles
It is so exciting for your family to be awaiting the birth of those babies. I also like to knit but not as much as I used to...Unfortunately my hands and fingers get sore and achy so I just do some simple patterns..
It is very special for the children to have something hand made from their loving grandmother.
Oh, congrats on the twins, how exciting! My mother doesn't have any grandkids, but she crochets blankets for lots of people, including friends, nieces, nephews, and even one for me. She often makes baby blankets for people having babies, or a particular wedding bells pattern if someone is getting married.
Congratulations Grandpa Michel. So your brood is growing.
What an exciting time! How old are their other children? I'm thinking all your children already have children of their own?????
Congratulations, my friend. You deserve this good fortune.
Best wishes to the parents to be! Twins - double the fun!
Oh, how lovely! Félicitations! You must be very excited.
I wish your daughter-in-law comfort and easy delivery.
She is so intent on what she is doing and her knitting is love for your grandchildren. Wow twins-enjoy:) Sorry to hear Mama to be is having a hard time.
Twins - twice as much fun! Hmm, twice the knitting, as well; I am sure Janine is more than capable of keeping up. Congratulations on the happy news!
I am wishing for your grandchildren a safe childbirth. Good luck in supporting the mother too. :spinning:
Congratulations Dear Friend Michel,
I hope the pregnancy will be very smooth and the twins will be born healthy to a very loving family. I pray that you continue to take similar pictures of Janine every decade.
love,
Zakiah
Congratulations! I am so happy to read this delightful news. My dream was true! =) Best wishes to Melody as she finishes the last trimester for a easy time and a healthy delivery. :heartbeat:
Congratulations to you and Janine and to your son. The twins are so lucky to have you both and to be born into a circle of love.
Love,
votre amie,
Francoise.
Congratulations! May all go well. Lovely picture of a contented knitter!
:sunny:Twins, double trouble, but so fun.:fun: Hope all goes well with the pregnancy. So nice of your wife,Janine, to knit and make special handmade things for them to have of her for a memory.:heartbeat: Hope you have a Fabulous weekend. .......In Christ's Love....Monic
''Blessings upon your future Grandchildren, and may their Mother have an easy time with her pregnancy. AMEN''
Bénédictions cm sur vos futurs petits-enfants, et peut leur mère ont un temps facile avec sa grossesse. AMEN''
That looks nice. I love to crochet!
How wonderful!
Félicitations à J-B et Mélody, jumeaux ! Vos 14ième et 15 ièmes petits enfants. Incroyable, l’agrandissement de la famille !
Nous espérons sincèrement que tout ira bien pour les jumeaux.
Amitiés
Stephanie et David
:sunny: two more rays of sunshine :sunny: Congratulations to all the family! You may remember I have twin daughters, they will be 26 next month and they have been such a joy to us and are to each other - the twins bond is very great indeed :yes: I pray Melody's pregnancy goes smoothly and without complications, she will need to be pampered for the next few months, no working on the country home and mowing the huge lawn :nono: with so many grandchildren maybe Melody will take up knitting so that Janine will not fall behind! :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: ilym
Knitting clothes and knitting a family, Janine has the most precious talent.
Knitting for little children is fun... the knitting grows fast!
Congratulations on all the wonderful grand children, especially the latest additions.
My cousin's wife had twins... each weighed 3.5kgs!
Ty so very much Michel and I love to just walk and look for the beauty of Mama earth and it is always there.
Michel, congratulations to Jean-Baptiste and Melody and to you and Janine also!
Twins, how fun!!
I hope that you and Janine are doing good. I'm so sorry for not writing before now but for awhile, I was too exhausted to do much of anything because I was getting very little sleep due to the pain.
Finally, last week I was released from therapy and am so much better now than I was! I still have to do my exercises here at home to keep from getting my shoulder stiff again [sometimes I get busy and when it doesn't hurt, I forget to do the exercises. Bad girl, I know!] lol
We've had beautiful weather here and I've been taking Kyla [my cat] outside to the park quite a lot. Also trying to catch up on a lot of things that I had let go when I was hurting. One thing for sure, the work never goes away and it does wait for a person. Ha! ha!
Take good care and give my love to Janine and I send my love to you as well, my dear friend.
Love,
Debi

One of these days I am gonna get back into blogging again!
Michel, I love you and think you are are the most loved man on xanga because of the way you love your wife! You truly amaze me and inspire me. hearts .... Mel
Answer to englishjuls :yes Julie, the news of arrival of new babies starts automatically the knitting needles of grandmother
Congratulations to Jean-Baptiste and Melody for the upcoming birth of their twins! I have no doubts that Janine will knit some wonderful items for the babies! Best wishes to all!
Hello Michel, you asked if there were any more peaceful places here where I live, and yes, we are surrounded by woods and trees, and many little creeks and streams, all with in walking distance. I can find plenty of places to find peace just by walking out my door and up the road a bit.
TY for your comment.
felicitations michel! :fun:
How excited you must be to have double blessings like the twins coming in August! My prayers are coming from Korea for Melody and her babies.
Hugs from Asia! ~ Sil
hello Michel and Ty for your comments on my photos of the lupins. They are growing in the yard, or along side the yard, of an abandoned homested up the road where i walk every day.
I am in Washington State, Michel, out on the coast by the rain forest and yes, we are surrounded by nature and blessed by it's beauty. Ty so very much.
Sounds like the gas price is pretty bad there too Michel.
Your wife is so talented. Your children and grandchildren and you yourself are so lucky to have someone that loves you all that much. But then they are all lucky to have you as well. A big family and two more to come...wow that is just awesome! There is nothing better to keep you young than a smiling baby to coo at. Baby juice is what I call baby smiles as they are just as nourishing as sunshine! :heartbeat: :heartbeat:
Hugs to you all and best wishes for the new babies to come! (I can't wait to see them!)
Love from Brenda in Nashville! :heartbeat:
Hey there again. I remember that you told me you don't usually get my replies to your comments. So here I am. And in response to your comment, I'm afraid they were all the truths. :p
Nothing nicer than a knit wool sweater, I always say.
Melody looks quite burdened! I pray that she finds the birth and raising of twins less a burden and more so a joy!
How exciting--new babies and twins !!! Congrats to you all !
God bless Melody! and the babies!!!
such exciting news!!!
huggs!!!!
I think pregnant women are so very beautiful...Melody looks like an excellent incubator :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: do you know if they are girls or boys or both? ilym
So lovely!! Twins are hard for the mom but so cute and so much fun. We had twin girls seven years ago and they were worth all the trouble. Congratulations :heartbeat: :heartbeat:
With all those grandchildren, I'm surprised she has time to do anything besides knit.
I'm happy to hear you'll be meeting your two newest this summer. I will pray for her safety and an uneventful delivery of healthy babies.
Oui, oui, tout va bien, merci, Michel. Je passe plus de temps à lire et à faire des petits travaux de coudre pour passer le temps en ce moment. J’en ai un peu mare d’être devant l’écran ordinateur.
Nous avons fait re-construire les marches devant la porte d’entrée de la maison, et nous avons installé les chenaux de l’eau pluviale, et lasuré le bois extérieur de toute la maison nous-mêmes. J’en ferai un blog sur Xanga bientôt.
Je suis préoccupé avec le déménagement de ma sœur et sa chienne du Canada en Angleterre. Après le décès de son mari en mai 2011 puis la maladie et le décès de notre père en janvier 2012 elle a cherché son cœur, et elle a décidé qu’elle veut habiter dans le Nord le l’Angleterre, proche à la famille. Elle a acheté une maison (plus petite que celle du Canada mais agréable) à environ 30 kms de chez maman, et au dernier moment elle a vendu la sienne au Canada. Elle a du beaucoup travailler pour tout organiser toute seule et pour vendre beaucoup de ses affaires avant de se déménager. Elle prend l’avion du Canada à Londres le 23 juin, la chienne en ‘CARGO’…
6 enfants + 15 petits enfants en famille directe, c’est beaucoup. Être responsable pour le futur bonheur d’un seul enfant me semblait toujours être beaucoup, mais 21…. Autant de bouches à faire manger, de cœurs à aimer et de bien-être à protéger. Je me souviens du post du rendez-vous familial ‘Fauquet’ dans le pays des Ducs, avec Janine, il y a quelques années. Ta famille plus large est vraiment énorme.
Amitiés Stephanie et David
PS Que du bonheur pour Melody. Elle semble etre si jeune.
One baby usually weighs heavily. I have trouble imagining how 2 would feel.
Wow, twins! How wonderful! Many blessings and prayers for healthy babies for the couple
- Marica
She is looking very well. Do hope all goes well and delivery is easy. Do they know yet if the twins are boys or girls or one of each?
I can remember so well how very uncomfortable it was to be carrying twins..she has my sympathy for that!
Congrats! =)
Congratulations.
Twins run in my husband's family. One grandmother had three sets of twins! There was only one set if twins born to the next generation after that, and so far none in the third generation, although some are married to a twin. I hope she can stay as comfortable as possible!
Melody looks so happy but may she continue to carry the babies safely and they arrive healthy.
Twins! You are a blessed man, Michel.
Wonderful news!! You and Janine are the kind of parents and grandparents we always hope for!! Please let us know in the coming weeks how Melody is feeling. And what a wonderful new beginning for your son!
Twins! How exciting! God bless all of you with much happiness.
YEE-HAW! :love:
Ty so very much for your prayers for TD while he was in the hospital Michel.
Thank-you for the comfort. Life is just one hard thing after another when you get older. But God is faithful. I am taking one day at a time.
Knitting is something I wish I could learn but due to me being left handed its not easy to find someone who can teach me left handed, even my mum who is a pro in crocheting has a hard time to teach me as she's right handed.
Melody looks ever so gorgeous and radiant as a Mother to be Michel. COngratulations to you and Janine and to Melody and Jean Baptiste on the upcoming birth of their twins. I do hope I get to see photos of the babies when i return from the UK. Seeing Melody like this, just makes me miss being pregnant. I hope she will have a smooth delivery of her twins and a safe one too. I hope she rest alot.
Twins? Congratulations and may she have a safe and uneventful delivery..
Congratulations to the happy family on the impending arrival. And here I am with only five grandchildren. April
Excellent news on the twins! Very happy for all!
Merveilleux grands-parents multiples et merveilleuse nouvelle!
Tous nos voeux pour ces bébés qui arriveront bientôt! :heartbeat:
TWINS! How truly exciting!! Congratulations!
