I Am Thankful!

Well, I got 1 picture before I dropped my camera and broke it. Never-the-less, I am still so very grateful for so many things. My list is endless.

Cheryl made the cheese and veggie platter above. I wanted to get a pic before the vultures (my family) attacked it. As you can see, it didn't happen.

 Robby rolled into town for the festivities...its good to see him.

 Khloe came and brought her parents. She's getting so big!! I did take some pics with Jessica's camera, so there may be more to come.

 I plan to stay out of all stores today...the so-called Black Friday....ugh. Let the madness begin. Chuck has ordered me to get into the Christmas spirit starting TODAY! I would prefer to wait until mid-December but he won't hear of it.

Oh, and BTW, if you are getting an xmas present from me this year, it will be hand made and you will like it and cherish it forever.....even if its just a potholder;) I better get started.....

Easter egg hunt.

Hoppy Easter

I made carrots and filled them with jelly beans for the kids.



Happy New Year!!!

Eric's Quilt

Eric was the lucky recipient of a quilt this Christmas (quilted awesomely by Kathleen....thanks aunt!) He wanted a sort of army greenish color so I went straight to the thrift store and bought 6 soft cotton mens shirts for $1.00 each and cut 'em up. There are 2 shirt pockets on the quilt...for the remote, of course! It's a simple quilt but I think it turned out great. The day after Christmas, he sent me this text : "I'm snugglin' with my quilt watching da Bears game. I love my quilt...thank u!" You are so welcome, my boy!

Merry Christmas

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Debbie's Holiday Party

A grand time was had by all last night at Nirvana's restaurant in Vernon Hills. Debbie was an excellent hostess to all of these wonderful home birth assistants/CPM's/CNM's/RN's. We all even got awards! Thanks, Deb. We had a wonderful time.

Have a Happy (and Quilty) New Year!!!

...I'm off to catch a New Year's day baby!! It's going to be a great year!
