THEY ARE COMING HOME!!!!!!

Although they will miss MAINE (disneyland) and are returning to the desert....... HOW SWEET IT IS.....Mother/daughter banquets together, retreats together, holidays spent at Nanna's and lets not forget the SHOPPING....the boys spending entire summers at Nanna's.......Kids camp, and pine derbys with Pappa.....Vacations with friends instead of planning vacations to go and see kids. Yes they are coming home. He got his orders and they will be in Kingsville, for a while anyway....We are all excited and counting the days. Ethen is especially excited as when we were there in July, Pappa told him that soon he will live closer to us, so he prayed and God answered a little boys prayer. What a boost of faith for him. He'll be here for his birthday which is 3 days before Thanksgiving...another prayer answered for him. GOD IS EXTREMELY GOOD.....Now if we can just get Pastor Sam to move toward this way, we'll be doing good and I will be in Heaven......YEAH !!!!!! :0)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

She came into our lives officially on Aug 10, 2007. We have prayed for her and loved her way before that. She is the joy of our hearts and the love of our son's life. Today is her birthday and we CELEBRATE her today. We are so proud of you Bri....So proud to call you our daughter. God has taken you from where you were and brought you to where you are now because of your willingness to be all that he has created you to be. Your are the balance to Sam and the one that we prayed for daily. We are so blessed to be able to be a part of your life and wish you all the best in the years to come. Our prayer is that you keep seeking Him and trusting Him for everything and that you know that He holds your future in His hands. May you walk with Him and do what is pleasing in His sight. Know that He gives His angels charge concerning you and that nothing is to hard for Him concerning you. We love you and wish you many more years of joy and happiness.

MY GRANDS

Are the not the cutest boys you've ever seen. How I wish I was there playing in those leaves.

FALL IS HERE........

Well in some places there is fall. It is 54 degrees in Maine today. Angela tells me that they have already hit the peak time. A storm is coming in and what ever is left on the trees will be gone. I think next year we will be planning a trip in the fall. Here is another picture of the pumpkin patch and apple orchard.

The Bedding for Our Princaphagia

Got a phone call from Sam today stating that Kinsley asked Santa for this for Christmas! I think she has great taste, dont' you? And i think Santa can provide for this....Not a problem.....Just got to figure out how to get it there.....:0) I'm thinking she has nanna wrapped around her little finger, just like her boys do. Oh well, what's a nanna for anyway :0)

NO CABLE

Okay so I'm a cable junky.....I havn't had cable television for 2 weeks now it stinks.....I am having a hard time getting used to not having anything to do. I guess you now know what took up all of my time, what little of it there was. Oh, i never really watched anything, because there really wasn't anything to watch, but just the thought of being able to sit and flip through channels was something to do....I'd settle for the weather channel right now.......

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Daughter might be moving to Kingsville, Texas. Yeah!!!! That means MOTHER/DAUGHTER TEAS together and not over the phone, holidays together, she can even go on retreats with me.....She will miss Maine I'm sure, who wouldn't. They said they saw a moose in the McDonald's parking lot the other day. Still waiting for picture of that one. Son-in-law just waiting to hear from HR if he got the job. They will probably live in Corpus Christi. Anyone know what it is like to live in that area? Would appreciate the comments, good or bad.

Still waiting to hear about Sam if he got the position in Nebraska. This is the church where he was dedicated in and went to preschool in. Another God thing!!!!
How cool would that be one not to far North and one not to far South. That means holidays together and when we have 4 day weekends we can take trips to see them. Ah yes, there is change in the air.....

Fall is coming.....well to some parts of the continental United States. I love Fall. It is my most very favorite time of the year. I'm not sure why,though, maybe it is because of the pretty colors and growing up where you can see them and smelling the crisp air, pumpkin pie, and apple pie, or maybe it is just the changing from summer to winter. don't really know, just know I like it....

Bought the CUTEST stuff for Kinsley today. Pink shirt with brown jumper with pink polkadots on it. Little black MaryJanes with black roses on the strap. Pink blanket with Pooh bear on it, and various other items that I couldn't resist buying. What's a Nanna for anyway....but to SPOIL, SPOIL AND SPOIL somemore. Oh forgot to mention as I was walking up to the checkout caught out of the corner of my eye this sign sticking out of a basket in the isle. It was just screaming "buy me for Kinsley". It says "THE PRINCESS SLEEPS HERE" and yes it is pink with crowns and jewell hearts in the center of each crown. I can't wait till she gets here......She definetly is our little princess and I'm sure will be very spoiled just like our boys are.

NANNA'S PRINCIPAGIA

IT'S OFFICIAL Kinsley Ella will be here February 20th and I can hardly wait.....Yes we are having a girl and yes they've changed her name. I am so excited I can hardly contain it. Sam & Bri are excited as well. This morning on my way to work I turned on the radio (which I never do because I only live a minute from work) and the song that they played was "Dancing with Cinderella" and I immediately thought of Sam dancing with his "little princess." She will be the "little princapagia" in our family. (thats little princess in italian in case you didn't know). Yes she will be spoiled, just like our boys are. I have pondered who she will look like. I'm hoping for long curly red hair and brown eyes...Only God knows. Funny but I can feel him smiling down on me as He can see the joy and anticipation of this little one in my heart. Dillard's,Penny's, Target, and Walmart here I come.....I guess I know what I'll be spending my next few paychecks on.....What's a Nanna for anyway?
