Merry Christmas

Happy Birthday,

Jesus!

Where Does The Time Go?

November was such I busy month! I celebrated another year, and my son announced his engagement to his beloved Rachel. She is so sweet, and a real blessing to our family. The above photo of my Mom, Rachel, and my son Jacob, was taken at my birthday luncheon at Honey Creek Resort on Lake Rathbun in Iowa. Oh, and guess who else joined us for the festivities...

...yep...my sweet little bundle of joy!! Do you know how hard it is to get a 4 year old to smile for the camera!! For some reason, she just wants to give a "posed" smile. Oh well!

Happy Birthday to You!

Look who's having a birthday today!!

I bet you can't guess how old the birthday boy is!

Let me see...

Is it his first birthday? No.

Or his 7th birthday? No.

It's his 24th birthday!!


Happy Birthday, Jacob!

Birthday Surprises!

My birthday was Saturday, and I had a fun day! First, my son called earlier in the week and left a message on my voice mail wishing me an early "Happy Birthday", then my husband took the day off from work, and we spent the day delivering shoe boxes for Operation: Christmas Child, searching through antique shops, and enjoying an evening meal at a new restaurant. My sister sent me a fun quilty box full of the goodies in the picture...2 bundles of wool felt, thread, cupcake fabric, pattern book, and a fun tote bag(oops...the tote bag must have been camera shy!)! When we returned home, there was the sweetest message waiting for me on our answering machine...an adorable rendition of "Happy Birthday to you" sung by my 3 year old granddaughter! You can bet that message won't be erased! And to top it off, yesterday, Mom took me to lunch at another fun restaurant in an historic hotel and gave me money for fabric shopping! I am truly blessed!

Look Who's 3!

Happy, Happy Birthday, Sweet Allyson!

Grandma loves you
bunches!

A Gift from God

Happy 23rd Birthday, Jacob!


I prayed for this child,
and the LORD has
granted me
what I asked
of him.
So now I give him
to the LORD.
For his whole life
he will be given over
to the LORD.

1 Samuel 1:27-28
