Thanksgiving 2009

We went to Jeremy & Lisha's for dinner. They fixed the dinner provided a warm comfortable environment and a pleasant family structure. It was wonderful! Thanks guys!

New Start?

I'm trying a new app that might make blogging worth doing. We'll see.

Here is a picture that includes the two grandkids who are missing from our life right now. Andy in the front and Jessica in the pink shirt. We love you guys. Can't wait to see you again!

Here are all the kids and grandkids in Fort Bragg for Mother's Day. It was wonderful to see all of our family together at once. On the other hand, we will never feel like our family is complete until it is: when Andy and Jessica Westcott can come back to their real family. In the meantime there is a whole in our hearts where those kids belong. God bless them!

A New Beginning

I just wanted to let anyone who's interested that I will be writing a little more often. I have a good reason to again.

A New Approach

I am trying ScribeFire. If it works it would be cool.

One More Time...

Well, it's been a long while! I don't know who I'm writing this to so I won't go on too long, but I just wanted to appear undead. I'll put some pix up perhaps before too long.

Waiting for the Paul Bunyan Parade

 

I've been teaching Alex how to play a little blues harmonica. He seems to get into it. I think he's got the knack! He's especially cool playing the blues with his Winnie the Pooh sunglasses on! 

I'm going to kick your butt!! 

It was great to have our son visit us during the Thanksgiving weekend!!! As you can see, we only barely managed to get him to sit down and eat anything. We love feeding him whatever he wants--although his request for milk in a bottle was a little shocking. You can see, he was serious! So anyway, he finished that up quickly before... 

he got on the phone while learning to work his new miniature digital camera, before... 

he sat down to do some research on his Mac laptop. 

Here's my little sweetheart listening to the Children's story at church. She's often the ONLY little one at church now (pretty sad) but she's not shy about going up front by herself. She's not shy about gathering the offering by herself! She takes a LONG time and makes sure that she walks up to each person in the pews and holds out the little basket until they come up with something. But she does it so innocently, no one gets upset. She just figures she's supposed to get the offering and the grownups and supposed to give the offering!! That works, you know? 

Here I used a really neat 25 cent filter on my digital camera. It's one of those plastic things that you look through and it's got a lot of angles on it and it's supposed to be like a fly sees or something. So I got it out of a cheap claw machine and held it up to my camera's lens. Okay, it's weird, but hey.... 

Vienna and Alex really love each other and have a lot of fun together! 

The lighted truck parade was fun, as always. This display was advertising the RV sales and repair place at the corner of 20 and 1. If you look closely, you'll see that the door to the travel trailer is open. There were several people inside the trailer standing by the open door waving to the crowd. That would be fun, I think, just because you could never do that legally any other time! 

Heidi and Alex in front of the Guest House for the tree lighting ceremony. Just after this we all went inside the Guest House living room to visit Santa. As you can see, Alex was just too cool for all the silliness. 

Vienna liked Santa this year, she just didn't want to look him in the eye when he asked if she'd been good ALL year. :-) 

Here's a cute kid! He sure is a happy little guy.
