We are going to be grandparents again!

Our youngest daughter is having her first baby next June!  We are so excited!  She's been married a year now and was ready to add to their relationship.

I've been preparing for our big Thanksgiving meal.  All 5 of our kids will be coming plus 3 son-in-laws and 3 grandchildren.  It really is one of the best family events we are lucky enough to celebrate. 

I'll be sure to post photos after they all leave.

Look at this adorable little snowman marker I received when I ordered this sock yarn from KnitPurlGurl on Etsy.com.  It's her hand dyed watermelon sock yarn....very cool.


This photo of Luke is only funny to those of you with a sense of humor when taking photos of children.  This little guy hardly stands still and I'm always chasing him with the camera.  Many of my shots look like this where he'll be looking at me and then all of a sudden he's turning and going the other way and my camera is too slow to get him when he's looking at me.  He just makes me laugh.

My newest little hat for someone.  Luke won't leave it on, so I think it needs to go to my next grandchild.


I don't think this photo really needs an explanation.  Ivy is just in love with her chew toys.


Mariah Midgley, 9 yrs. old, drew this of my horse Marshall who she became attached to at the Willow Ridge Therapeutic Riding Facility.  I thought it was very clever of her to draw his knee up like that because he has an injured knee and she wanted to show that.  Don't you love the detail kids put in their drawings?

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones!

I was actually 11 when I drew that horse. Thank you so much for the book of Marshall's pictures you sent me. I was so sad when Marshall left Willow Ridge, but I felt a lot better seeing how happy Marshall was in his new home. I'm still riding at Willow Ridge and I've never forgotten my first horsey love. I heard a ways back that his buddy Daniel passed. I hope the big guy wasn't too upset and has found a new friend to roll in the mud with. Send him my love.
