Giving Thanks... Day 2

Today I am thankful for my grandson Cain.  He has brought so much to our lives.  He is nine years old now but he was only 3 when he joined our family with his Dad.  He was the ring bearer at their wedding.  He is such a happy go lucky kid.  Very inquisitive about things, loves to learn about new things and has an opinion about everything.  He has grown by leaps and bounds. 

I love the picture of him eating an ice cream cone.  He said that was the first one he had ever had.  And it was funny because when we handed it to him he just sat it on the table and didn't know what to do with it. 

Then Jan picked it up and held if for him.  It was cute.

For several years Cain has played baseball, but this year was his first year on the peewee football team.  I think he may have found his niche.  He actually seems to pay attention when he is on the field and even on the sideline.  We went and watched several games this fall and of course took several pictures.  He looks so big in his uniform.  His little sister Eden thinks her bubba is something special.  She looks up to him and is his biggest fan.

So yeah today I would like to say I am thankful for my grandson.

We Are Thankful For...

After much prayer I decided to take on this special meme for the month of November.   I happened to run across it in my friend Jewel's valley.  If you get a chance stop by and see her at Down In My Little Valley.

This meme is hosted by Leah over at South Breeze Farm.  She is challenging us to post everyday something that we are thankful for.  It can be a complete post or just a few words whatever you prefer to do.  Please feel free to join us if you would like to.

Today I am Thankful for:

My grandbaby Eden.  She is our miracle baby.  I look at the pictures of her in her Minnie Mouse outfit and think back four years ago when she was in NICU and they are hard to look at without tears forming much less comprehend that it is the same kid.  You can read more of her story here:  Eden Jade's Story  or you can look at her pictures here: Eden's Hospital Pictures.
Yes today I am Thankful for Eden Jade.

Did I Ever Mention I Love Pictures...

I received these late yesterday, just had to share them with all of you.  The first two are my daughter Flo alias Janice.  I guess if her job doesn't work out she can attach these pictures to her resume and apply at Progressive Insurance.  She might not have any training on the job but at least she could look the part.

And then there is Minnie, she didn't win the contest but she is a winner in my book!  Look at that hand on the hip, you would think she has had her picture taken before.



Nothing makes my day like getting pictures of my kids when we can't be there

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. 

We went to church last night, but we did have about 7 trick or treaters when we got home.  Love seeing the kids dressed up and enjoying life!

Speaking of enjoying life, we are off to Branson Friday night.  We are going to see the McKameys.  They are a Southern Gospel group, I posted three of their songs about a month ago.  Looking forward to a fun evening.  We are planning on going up Friday morning and coming back Saturday afternoon.  There is a quilt/fabric shop on the main drag that seems to always call my name when we are in town.  Shhhh  don't tell my hubby!  

until next time... nel
