Jacob turned 14 this year. I can't believe it! That is a lot of candles on that cake. He is looking so much older and truly isn't a little kid anymore. Amazing.
It was also Maggie's 9th birthday this year. Oh my. This is her all dressed up for a family wedding. She had a great time dancing the night away!

Miss Lucy the dog. This is the face everytime I am eating anything. She is there looking at me...waiting for a bite to eat too. You would think I would lose weight always having to share.
This last few weeks we traveled to Virginia for Thanksgiving and for early Christmas. That was fun. We got to see everyone and eat too much. We have been celebrating birthdays. Curt's is coming up soon. We are still working on Christmas shopping. The tree is up, the nativity is up and I am really not feeling like doing to much more decorating. The kids seem satisfied and so why make myself crazy. I am trying to clean out stuff...making donations to Goodwill...coats and things that we have grown out of. Curt has his first talk at church on Sunday. We still have to write that. He will have to practice a lot. He tends to mumble and get really quiet when he is nervous. I hope he does fine. Steve had me go to the store and buy primer for the basement walls. I hope we can finish the basement soon. That would be a great Christmas gift.
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all have been very, very, very busy. An early Christmas sounds like fun too!
I can relate with 'needy' dogs. My Rowdy is a little begger dog, and can sniff out a morsel of food that anyone has :)
Give Curt my wishes for luck with his talk. I'll bet he does a wonderful job!!
Have you been re-doing your basement? Or are you just painting ? It would be the same thing here :) Since this basement has never been painted .
We are staying in Utah and for that I am grateful.
Hope you have a great weekend!!
P.S.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your blog for winter ! Also, how do you get the list and labels posted that you have on your side bar? I would like to be able to do that.
