Talk about Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well.....let's just say it was the Happiest Thanksgiving of my life!!! I'll start at the beginning. My mom and dad came in to visit us for the week. That in itself is a reason to give thanks! I loved having them here! Then.....Kristy offered to cook for us! Another reason to give thanks! I had to make my famous yeast rolls which didn't turn out very well. I put them in a warm oven that turned out to be too hot so they all fell - 3 batches worth!!! Oh well......back on track now......Thanksgiving day at Dan's. Much to my surprise, Dan offers to say the Thanksgiving blessings. Anyone who knows my #1 son, knows that he loves to joke around. Well, he's giving his prayer and thanking our good Lord for the family, food, football, troops, children, Kristy's sister and her unborn son Trevor, and then he says "And thank you Lord for the baby in Kristy's tummy!" I about flew across the room. Of course, they all had cameras aimed at me for my reaction! I don't think I disappointed them! I made a total fool out of myself and I'd do it again! I'm sooo excited! Another grandbaby to love and spoil! So you see why I'm so darn excited!!! It was such a wonderful surprise. I know that they will make the best parents!

As for the visit with my parents.....it was a wonderful time. I continue to ask everyone to pray for my parents to move nearer to us. I worry about dad caring for my mom. She seems to be falling more and he can not continue to lift her from the floor for much longer. I would love to have them here!

Thanks to all!

So it's been a month


Ok already! Here's a new blog! Let's see......I went to the Quilt Show.....Kim finished football....we got to babysit Curtis. That's about our entire life. What can I say? Hmmm....still going out to eat on Wednesdays for wings and beer with one of the greatest couples on earth. (That's a shout out to you Todd & Jill!) And let's see...it's Thursday night and we're watching Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy and ER. That's about our life!!! Sad huh? I've got to be honest....we like it that way! We're still hoping we can get to Hawaii this summer but we'll see! Here's one of the cutest pictures taken of one of the cutest little guys to ever walk the face of the earth!
Looking forward to Sunday when my parents are coming from Florida for turkey day. We give thanks that they can still drive here. I'm eager for them to see Curtis. I'm hoping I can talk them into moving here. I just can't imagine dad taking care of mom much longer. It's got to be hard. He is such a loving husband to mom! I am truly a blessed woman! Surrounded by great men!
Well, I'll try to not wait another month but honestly I'm a boring old lady! HAH!
