Glad to have joined

Glad to have joined the Cannaday Family News. I love to keep up with all of you up north. So many families to get to know. We enjoyed the reunion. Love the "walk down memory lane", lots of pictures I could relate to: The ol' farm house for one....
Keep the news coming.

Anyone out there!!

Good morning family. Anyone out there in cyberspace? I haven't seen any post lately from our family bloggers keeping us all up to date on what's happening in our lives.

Margaret and I have had a pretty good, last few days, spending time with our family. Yesterday evening we watched Sammy and Jack while Bill and Amy went to a birthday party. I tell you what, those grand kids of ours are growing up soooooo fast that it's hard to keep up with them anymore. Jack and Sammy are so cute when they take off running down the hallway after each other. I think Jack is starting to really enjoy his little brother.

Trey also showed up while the grand kids were here, so we all enjoyed a spaghetti dinner and played a few games of Zilch (dice game)to see who would be champion. Trey and I both won a game and poor Margaret didn't win any. Anyhow, we all had fun just chatting and goofing around.

Today Margaret and I are going to just relax and later on head over to Seven Feathers Casino to play BINGO. It's been a long time since I won a BINGO game so this is the day!

Hoping all of you are well and doing fine this lovely day. Take care and may our Lord continue to bless each and everyone of you. Lloyd

Enjoying the Grandkids!

Margaret and I had a wonderful day babysitting Jack and Sammy. As you can see both boys were busy playing with their blocks and other toys on the floor.

We also went for a walk with the boys around the block. Jack enjoyed pushing Sammy in the stroller. It is such a blessing to be able to watch our grand kids grow and be part of their lives.

How was everyone else's day? I hope all is well and that you also had a wonderful day. Take care and may God bless, Margaret & Lloyd

The day with Raven.

Well today was a good day. I got to spend alot of time with Raven. She took me out to eat and we had a great time. Then we went over to grandma's house and visited. I got to see aunt Evielou and aunt Jeannine got to visit with my grandma too. I saw little camran and he is getting big. He sure is very cute. Well that is what we did today and hope for many more visits in 2009. What a good time and good times to go.

Family Celebrations

As you can see, I have added a new section called "Celebrations" to our family blog. I believe that it is important to recognize the special days in our lives and to celebrate them.

I keep a calender with most of the family anniversaries and birthdays listed, but I know I don't have all of them. I would like to have everyone email me their family "special days" so I can add them to my calender. Thanks, and may God bless. Lloyd

Good evening family!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day. Margaret and I started out by heading down to the YMCA for our daily workout. We then headed for home where I fixed us breakfast.

We babysat Sammy for about an hour while Amy took Jack down to the library for "Story Time". It is such a blessing to watch Sammy and Jack as they play. They are growing up so fast.

As you can see in the pictures, Sammy is concentrating on his cartoons and Jack is showing off his animals he glued onto a piece of paper.

Visiting Opal in Grants Pass

What a wonderful day Margaret and I had visiting with Opal in Grants Pass.

We went out for a really good lunch, then we played Yahtzee the rest of the afternoon.

As you can see by the photo to the left, Opal won several of the Yahtzee games.

Dinner at Bill and Amy's House

How is everyone doing today? Margaret, Trey and I drove down to Winston and had dinner at Bill and Amy's house. Amy sure can cook good. We all had plenty to eat. It was fun playing with Jack and Sammy. Both Sammy and Jack had fun playing with all their Christmas toys and we had fun just watching them. I took several photo's that I will post in our gallery tomorrow. Take care and may God bless, Lloyd

Happy New Year 2009!

As each sunrise ushers in a new day, and dispels the night’s darkness,
so can this New Year be a fresh beginning--and a time where we seek to live more and more in the light of God’s love and grace.

“And He that sat upon the throne said Behold I make all things new. “
Rev 21:5 KJV

Wishing you all a year of peace & joy!

Blessings, b

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!IT'S GREAT

Happy New Year everyone. Hope you had a great day and more so i wish you all a great year and that everyone of us draw closer to God this coming year. I want to thank all of you for all youv'e done in my life this year mainly your prayers. We had alot of struggles in 2008 it's time for a new year.

I want to thank Uncle Lloyd for the prayers that went up for my dad and I. Dad i'm so blessed to have you back in my life. That has been my prayer for some years now. now it's a new year and we can get to know one another again even more. also our house finances are fixed Praise God so we get to stay where we are for a few more years until Garrett finishes school which would be another 3 and half years. I"m happy with the turnout of the problems tori has had and please pray for her because she has some major anger problems. she will start counseling in about a week. I'm happy that alot of the family are focusing their eyes on the lORD that is great. we'll all be happy and joyous when we meet our king.

well not much just alot over. the only thing we have going on for the new year so far is Garrett Jr's surgery on the 16th of the month. he will go under for a tooth to be pulled and a bone draft to for his gums. hard to explain but taking a chunk of hip to his mouth. so hopefully that will turn out just pray nothing wrong goes.

again thank you family and all that you've done this year and i pray for each and everyone of you that all will go well for you and that you and God will draw closer this year. That's the only way to go. God bless everyone of you. and we love you lots. Raven
