Time Goes By...............

So much time has passed since my last post, not that you wait in anticipation for each update in my life, but it is just that I really like to keep things up when I have made a decision to do it. I would rather not do something at all if I can't do it right.

Our oldest daughter, Sami, and her family were here for the past week or so, the house has been full of noise and play from two - two year olds, yeah that's right two of them!
Sami's son, Paul and our youngest daughter, Casi's daugther, Macarti. These two are continual entertainment.

Macarti loves her new Kitchen and I am afraid I have gained more weight from all her cooking.....to many take outs I am sure.

Paul and "BUZZ" are inseparable.....unless you put on a movie and then you have lost him.

And the ever so seldom squeaking and grunting of our daughter's 5 week old William, aka Bill. He is so precious and is such a good baby. This picture of him on Christmas Day asleep but still smiling is just the way he rolls.

So now the company has pulled out of the drive way.......Our daugther, her husband, their two little boys and two cats...............TWO CATS?!?!??! what the heck? So 1/2 hour into their drive they started to hear a strange noise........meow, meow? Our daughter called and asked if our two kittens were still in the garage. I couldn't find them anywhere.
Yup they stoll away while the car was getting loaded inside the garage. Our youngest daughter, Casi, was in town and met them, they had to unload the car to get to kittens and when they uncovered them, one blew out of the car like it was shot from a gun......the kids reloaded the car and got on their way and Casi returned home with one pretty scared little kitten.
This is a typical event in our ever eventful lives.

The day after our company left, we got enough snow to run the sled on and Macarti loved it. Never before have I seen it take two horses, two dogs, a Papa and a mama to pull one little girl up and down the lane, but they all acted as if the production would have been canceled if one would not have been unable to make the trip.

Gypsy, clearing the way.......

Only one wreck, Macarti was looking back at her Mimi and tipped the sled over, but just a few adjustments and they were back on the road again, as you can see Tilly walked beside Macarti all the way, but Gypsy had to lead.

Splash and Pistol were sure they were being neglected...

Our middle daughter Jodi, and her family are going to be here this coming weekend. I am so very thankful for the way the God brings things together for us. I had been trying to be strong about them not being able to come home for Christmas, and God being the awesome God that he is......gave me the desire of my heart. I am so thankful that He loves me the way He does, and forgives me of my ever sin.

I hope to have more pictures and updates on the happenings in our lives.

Till Next Time, God Bless

Jackie
