HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIZZIE!

It's Lizzie's 28th birthday today. She will be busy going to classes. This is her last semester of grad school. Hope you have a good day and can find time for some celebrating. Love you, Liz!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATIE

Today is Katie's birthday. She turned 31. Hope you were able to find some time to celebrate in the midst of your busy work schedule. Love you!

Makayla, Ellie and Kimberly

I haven't posted pictures for so long I hope I can figure this out. I spent 5 days at Laura's helping with house work, meals, laundry and kids when they would let me. I got some pretty fun pictures of the girls.

This is Kimberly.
See how long her body is? She was only 17 1/2" at birth. Most of that is her torso.

Sleeping on grandma's chest. :)

Here's a picture of all three of the girls together.

Laura had to take Kimberly for a PKU test on Monday. While she was gone, Makayla, Ellie and I decorated Gingerbread Men. The girls had so much fun.

This is baby Kimmy all dressed up to go outside.

Some of the pictures are rather dark. I didn't think I needed my flash. Apparently I did. :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY

Woops! Yesterday was Eugene's birthday. I thought of posting early in the day but then got busy with wedding, quilting and RS stuff. I baked him an angel food cake, his favorite, and we had rib eye steaks for dinner, also his favorite. We spent the rest of the evening just kicking back. Hope you had a nice birthday honey. Love ya!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARAH!

Today is Sarah's birthday! She turned 30. She has had a very crappy day. I'm so sad for her. She said it has nothing to do with turning 30. She said sometimes all the stuff that happens in a day is too much for one person to handle. Oh! I so know what she is saying!

I'm sorry, Sarah! Maybe you can pretend your birthday is on another day and it will be a good day to celebrate! Love you!

Another New Granddaughter!

Kimberly Paige was born today at 12:23 p.m. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 12 oz. and is 17 1/2" long. Mom and baby are doing fine.

As soon as I get pictures, I'll get them posted.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Another new year! It seems just last week we were celebrating the coming of 2008 and now it's gone. Hang onto your hats folks! 2009 will certainly fly by quicker than 2008 did.
