After our hard drive crashing and trying to get everything that wasn't lost back on and with all the big events that kept me going in every direction, I am finally back on and will try to keep up. Thanks, Kim, for guiding me through on how to get pictures on my blog. Makes it much more fun.
Our daughter,Mindy got married on the 8th of November to a wonderful guy named Matt Stimpson. We decorated the church cultural hall all in Christmas trees we borrowed from everyone. There were about twenty trees. More than I have ever put up at one time. It looked so neat. My family were real troopers and helped so much. Nice evening but I am such a worrier that it was nice that it turned out as hoped and that it is over. Now on to the next thing....
Here is our newest grandson, Ashtin Neil Reed, that came to us on Dec 5, weighing in at 8 lbs. 5 oz. His big brother, Antonio loves him. Mom and baby and family are doing great!
We have two more grandsons coming. Mindy, our daughter (on the left) is due April 23 and Brook (our son, Mike's wife, who lives next door to us) is due May 22(her b-day). This is Mindy's first and Mike & Brook's 4th (first boy- they are so excited)
For Christmas I made all my grandchildren hats(two for the boys because they didn't want scarves), mittens and scarves(for the girls). Twelve sets, I told Kim on the phone 11 but I forgot I even made our new grandson some hats.
For the adults I scrapbooked these clocks. Some stood on stands and others hung on the wall. They are able to switch out the pictures whenever they want. I also made them blocks that were 5 inch squared that I stained and put pictures of their families on that I had done in the sepia tone. They each recieved three of them to stack and put on whichever side they want because all sides had their pictures. They loved those!
The older I get the more I love gardening and being out in the yards and the less I like the cold. Now that the excitement of the holidays are over and January is sort-of blah!!!! I am craving sunshine, warmth, and the chance to play in the dirt and flowers once again.
