Hey there!

Above is a link (hopefully) for some photos of Baby girl!

She and her mom just returned from seeing a certain son of mine:)

A BIG 'TY" to all who prayed for him while he was gone; it is SO very good to have him back on American soil!

OK---got to go.

More promises to keep today.

Blessings to all!

And a HAPPY B-Day to my other son!!

PS: Also, some pictures of my Dear SIL's place during the reunion (non-people, sorry) and a little tribute to Michael (post under the one for Baby Girl)

Update on the rest of the family! (Last update 12/21)

Since everyone in the family knows how much I love snow, they know I am quite happy over our scenery lately! But here is an update on the rest of tha family:

• My wonderful, long suffering hubby is only 3 days away from his 2 week long vacation. Update: hubby is on vacation--yea!!
• My DIL recently heard from her hubby. Please continue in prayers for him. She is doing fine although she is blaming me for this snow (imagine that?? LOL) Update: still snowing here! Unfortunately ice too. But the ice is beautiful on the trees. I am so glad we always leave fruit on the trees. I've noticed a bird enjoying it today:)
• My oldest son is doing fine; we will -- hopefully--be getting together with him and his fiancee around Christmas for dinner. Update: Christmas may be postponed till after Christmas; depends on the weather. So maybe while everyone is in the stores after the 25th we'll be eating out!
• I am going through BF withdrawal as my friend of 21 years is out of state. Good time for my hubby to have vacation!! Update: She may be even longer getting home. Since she is in nice weather that may not be too bad.
• Baby C is growing and has produced her first big chuckle in response to her big sister!! Needless to say, big sister thought that was pretty neat! Update: Baby C is rolling over now. So cute:) Kind DIL is sending us video updates --- fun!!
• Nothing to report from my daughter's way; she has been super busy with work for the last several months though. Update: Now she is getting our weather---looks like we are in winter now!

Blessings, b

Checking In

Baby Grace modeling the latest in baby girl wear:)

We’re doing OK and hoping for some snow (well at least one of us is).

Hubby person will soon have 2 whole weeks off and I am very excited for him!!He deserves it -- I can say that because he never logs on here so he won’t know I am bragging on him:) That is unless one of you tell him!!

We are moving back to the ‘abnormal-normal’ that goes with having a child/ spouse in the Service. It's a difficult time as I can’t help comparing this year to what was happening last year. Would appreciate your prayers on that. Oh and I am supposed to say that the young one made it back there.

Have been searching through a lot of blogs and sites studying recipes for Nordic treats (one of my big weaknesses!). Since the man has repaired/replaced our cook top/oven and microwave I can hardly wait to really use them for more then just dinner. And besides I have till Jan 1--well maybe Jan 2 to enjoy my old style of carbo-loving eating. Oh the joys of lefse, aebleskivers and more!!

Hope all of you are well!! Blessings, b

Hey from home!

Just wanted to say hello to everyone!! This is Chris' mom aka aimee here on blogger.

I think I know where your good weather went Lloyd---that's right--up here!! But usually you have the better weather so I am sure you won't mind us borrowing it for a little while, will you??? Besides it makes for very pretty photos, especially in the autumn!

Chris is out and about checking in with family & friends while he's here. He is planning on seeing Grandma C & Jeannine from what he told me. He's looking good as you can see from the photos I took (on Jeannine's photo area) and is really enjoying being with both of his sweet daughters and beautiful wife!

Oh, I really appreciate all the prayers being sent up for him--it is still a dangerous place over there (despite the fact that you hear about zilch on the news now) and this has been difficult as every mom or dad or spouse or any relative of a deployed Soldier knows. So again TY and keep praying please for my son and those with him!!

Well I need to get back to my blog and update it with another "Walk in HIS Gardens" post so bye and blessings to all! b
