HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2008

It is coming upon that magical hour of another New Year.  May God's Blessings be with you all.

Good health, no worries, etc.   I have loved blogging this past year and intend to do more this coming year.   What a great way to keep up with friends and family.

Love to you all and GOD BLESS you all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL

Michael had a special birthday today.  He turned 25!!     I hope your birthday was fun, has it been?

Your birthday card is hanging on the clock in the entry.  I forgot to mail it.  Now how do you suppose that happened?

I love this picture of you taken here at my house during Thanksgiving.  

I wish for you many more birthdays and a lot of luck with what ever it is that you want in life.  God Bless you.

My eternal love, Mema

Pre - K

This is Kami's Pre-K class at school.  Aren't they a great bunch of kids?   I love the picture.  Her mother got it and let me borrow it so I could scan it.  Kami is my g-granddaughter.  She is very proud of all of her friends and teachers.  She is standing on the top row, left.

MY NEW DESK

Here is a picture of my new desk, at least it is new to me and I love it.  Larry and Denise gave it to me.  It is so much roomier then the other desk they gave me, and it has more storage space.   Thank you kids!!  

Now I can see out the window into the back yard.  The other desk blocked the view.  It will be prettier out there this summer, right now it is mostly leaves from a neighbors tree on the ground.  The pot plants have all moved inside for the winter.  I am holding a coffee mug with Star~Net Logo on it.

This is Sophie with me.  Denise loves to take pictures of Sophie, so do I.  :)  She is wearing new white hard sole shoes.  She is really learning to walk.  She is such a little doll.

HAPPY FOURTH ANNIVERSARY

Another family was started on 20 Dec 2003 when Brian Duane and Laura Ann was married.    It was a beautiful wedding with many family members and many friends as guests.   

Today they are now a family.   Baby Clara Jane joined them on 13 Nov 2007, a bundle of joy for us all to love.  Clara is my g-granddaughter.   She joins her cousins, my other three g-grandchildren to make my joy complete.   I love you, Brian, Laura and Clara.

 

Boys Learn To Walk Also

Denise sent me this picture of Aidan learning to walk with the walker.   It has really walked many a mile with little feet pushing it.   I think Elizabeth was first, then Kami, Aidan and Sophie.  We can't fine a picture of Jacob pushing it.   He would have been after Elizabeth.

They are all so precious to me.  Two grandchildren and three g-grandchildren.  I love them all!!

HAPPY THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSARY

Thirteen years ago a new family was started

with the marriage of Tim and Melissa. It

has been an interesting thirteen years.

During that time three wonderful children

have joined them. There was Patrick in 1996,

what a guy. Our little red haired girl, Elizabeth,

joined the family in 1999. Lo and behold, along

comes Jacob in 2001. Jacob looks more like his

dad. Elizabeth has Pepa's red hair and he did not

get to see her. Patrick is a combination of both

parents.

In 2005, this picture was taken of the family.

Isn't it a great picture of one of my favorite families?

I wish for you many more years to enjoy and finish

raising those kids. Then you can look forward to

grandchildren. May you be well blessed with them.

Much Love to all. Mom/Mema

New Baby Girl

Here is an updated picture of little Sofia Rene.  It is a camera phone picture.  Isn't she cute?

Another adorable little girl to love.  Sofia is pictured a few posts back at the age of 6 weeks.

SNOW/ICE IN PARIS

I was told to do a new post. Well here is one. These pictures remind me of the bad weather they are having in parts of the country as I type.These are four that I happen to have handy.

This picture was taken in January 2007. It was sleet, but it covered the ground enough to show white. Kami is bundled up standing in my front yard. The Poodle Tree used to stand tall and proud in the flower bed over her right shoulder. Beautiful Bearded Iris live there now.




This picture was taken on 15 April 2004. Elizabeth and Jacob were visiting me here in Paris and they really did not like the snow at all. But I put grocery sacks over their shoes and got a few pictures before they went into the house to get warm.

On Christmas night 2000, it started sleeting in late afternoon. After dark we lost our power, transformers were popping all over Paris and the town was shut down for days. Some areas longer then others. It hit Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. This is the Poodle Tree that was in my front yard.

This picture was taken 5 Feb 2002 from my front porch. We really had a deep snow this time. It snowed all day long and was just beautiful, but oh so cold.
