Blessing(s)

Olive's blessing day a few weeks ago... "Count your many blessings, see what God hath done..."

Happy Halloween!

How do you like these punkins?? Hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween! We are headed south to the baby's blessing this weekend, so we're excited to be there for all the festivities. Can't wait to kiss these cheeks...

Moved!

It has been ten days since we moved our little family into a beautiful new home, and I am loving (nearly) every minute! It's a new subdivision, so there are workers and dirt and dust and noise early in the a.m., but other than that, this is our new "heaven on earth." (How many times shall I use the word "new" in this post??) We are happily unpacking boxes, squeezing in what's essential, getting rid of what's not, and living in a little dream world where it's all our very own. We are truly blessed...

Precious Baby

Announcing my 3rd little granddaughter! She was born on September 14 and is beautiful and healthy! I got to spend a week with Chelsea and this precious little spirit. It was a blessing. Sweet big brother L has had his world tipped upside down, but he is a trooper. As long as he can "play football on the grass", he's happy as a clam. Welcome to the world, Little Olive Lillie!

Scentsy Supports Small Businesses

At our recent Scentsy convention, we were invited to participate in a wonderful project to bring revenue to family-owned, small businesses in our hometowns. I have taken a pledge to spend $50 on October 12, 2009 at a small business of my choice, and I want to invite YOU to do the same. Scentsy would like to see 100,000 people-plus take this pledge and help our friends & neighbors in this challenging economic time. Go to www.ScentsyContribute.org to check out the details and make the pledge. Together, we can make a difference! Thanks!

August Babies

Both my sweet little grandgirls celebrated birthdays in August. They make me smile! I love you, A & A! And by the way, my grandGIRL ratio will double in the next 6 months. Grammy can't wait...

Sun Valley, ID

Yesterday, I sang at the Sun Valley Music Festival with the chorus. Simply speaking, it was awesome. Beautiful scenery, appreciative audiences, inspired music, wonderful friends. No wonder I feel so blessed today. Only God could paint a picture this lovely...
