Christmas in Georgia

Marci quickly found her stack of books to sort. She should be a librarian.

Kevin gave us a private concern on his Dad's old trombone.

Grandpa loved the the pencil holder Andrea made for him, but he liked the hug even more.

Marci liked the PINK vest and hat. This gift warranted a big hug for Elena.

Elena loved the scarf Marci gave her. Marci made the scarf on a knitting maching.

Elizabeth warmed up to Grandpa really fast. Playing with Grandpa was a preferred activity for all the kids.

Elena likes to go to Petland and play with the puppies. It's the next best thing to actually having her own dog, which I understand won't be too soon.

Love the snow

Don't you just love the snow? We got slammed with a foot of snow, so I made this snowman. I don't remember the last time I did that! The next day I really felt it - sore muscles!! But it was worth it. Larry donated the cowboy hat from a Jeremy Ranch Shootout and Marci donated the scarf. The eyes were walnuts from our tree, the nose was a carrot, and the arms were limbs cut off our lilac trees. Cute, huh?

This is Kael, my three year old nephew who came to play in the snow with me. He used this branch as antlers and ran around the yard pretending to be a deer. His favorite thing to do was to use his antlers to knock snow off the branches of our big pine tree. We both got covered with "snow showers." Oh yeah, he loved helping build the snowman!!

Marci's new friends

This is Zack. He is a DSPD provider who takes Marci to community activities.

Here is Marci with Allison. She goes out with Allison on Fridays for a community activity like shopping, bowling, shopping, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving

Beautiful day for a family feast. Kate and Ian enjoy the leaves more than the food. But they loved being with their cousins and acting out the story, "I know an old lady who swallowed a pie," and a whole lot of other things!!

Last Halloween party post

Here is Ashley with her new Boxer puppy. He is sooooo cute.

Here are Celest and Falishia as Hannah Montana and a vampire. Larsen and Nextson are Batman and Spiderman. Cute kids, huh?

Successful post at last!!

Here's the rest of the pictures. Cute kids, great party, awesome Grandma!!
Kate and Ian are pirates.
Here's Aidan as Buzz and Kael as Woody.

This is Kate doing the crab walk with some candy on a spoon she is holding in her mouth. She went across the room without dropping the candy and put it into her bag. Good job, Kate.

I did it!!

Wow, I'm official now. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm going to learn.
