Can you beleive that Thanksgiving is over?

It's unbelievable to think that the holidays are all ready here. Thanksgiving has arrived and has left us. We had a great Thanksgiving with Nick, Amanda, Bubba, Zeke and Arianna in Georgia, and by the way, it was much warmer there also. Nick decided to deep fry his first turkey for Thanksgiving. It was so tasty. Our trip down there was to also bring back yet another Bricklin that Kevin bought a couple months ago. We also enjoyed seeing our grandchildren. They are growing so fast and especially AJ as you can see by the pictures. Make sure you check out Nick's blog to see some new videos of the boys saying their Bible verses they learn every week in their home schooling. I trust all of you had a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING holiday.

BACK FROM SOUTH DAKOTA HEADING TO GEORGIA

Can't believe it but the two weeks spent in SD is over. We had beautiful weather and unbelievable views of the black hills, Devil's Tower, prairie dogs, mountains, hundreds of deer and of course the main reason was to see Cory & Shannon and our newest grandson Cian Andrew. What a lovely funny baby he is. I will miss mostly the meme and Cian time we had. Every morning we would be up together alone to watch the sunrise come over the black hills. Every minute the beauty would change just like the growth of Cian would change before I would have to leave. The little guy grew so fast and how fun it was to watch him do so. Cory & Shannon you are very good parents to our grandson.
Believe it or not, we are getting ready to leave a week from tomorrow (Tuesday) to head down to Georgia. Yahoo!!!!! We will be spending Thanksgiving weekend with Nick, Amanda, Bryson, Ezekiel and Arianna. Can't wait to see them all especially our little AJ as she is 2 months old now. She is growing so fast. Check out the blogs for Nick and Cory to keep up with the events. Kevin and I are looking forward to another trip as we are driving down for this one and we are also taking my mom and dad with us so they can see where their grandson Nick and his family live and visit their great grandchildren.

visiting Cian

Here is our little South Dakotan. What a blast we have been having with him and of course, Cory & Shannon. The mountains are beautiful and we were able to go to Devil's Tower. What an awesome sight! How can anyone say, "There isn't a GOD!" It's absolutely breath taking.
Cian is breath taking also. How alert - all the time. We are enjoying the time of spoiling him. He will be growing up so fast when we leave but he has great parents that will rear him with lots of love, care and memories. Like Nick always say, "they will have to degrandmatize" when we leave to go home. :)

Flying to South Dakota

Here we are finally heading out to see our latest grandson Cian Andrew Church.
Today, October 25th, he is two weeks old. On Saturday, October 27th, we will be seeing him for the first time and we are so excited. The time we have to spend out there will be to short but we are going to enjoy every second that we can and cherish our time together.
Cian has all ready filled our lives with happy moments and I am sure he will
continue to do so. Our three other grandchildren living in Georgia have also
filled us with much joy and laughter. Praise the Lord, as grandparents, he has given us the ability to take advantage of being able to fly and travel to see
them all. Pray for our safety there and back.

The BIG 50

I made it to 50! Half a century year old! Sounds nasty doesn't it? BUT I am so thankful to my Lord for his healing power this last year. I enjoyed this birthday much more than in the past because it was pain free and tremor free. I praise the Lord over and over.
Kevin & I had a great weekend together as we celebrated then as my birthday was in the middle of the week. We did a lot of shopping and Frankenmuth. It was a lovely day. Then Kevin surprised me again in the evening of my birthday with friends and family showing up to have snacks and cake & ice cream. It was a fun evening. Thanks to everyone that came. Thank you Kevin for being such a wonderful husband and standing by me through my surgery and recovery time. I love you!!!!

Cian Andrew Church

He's here and boy are we excited. Cian was born on Thursday, October 11, 2007 at 10:30 pm and is 20 1/2 inches long. What a beautiful baby boy. God has blessed Kevin and I with four beautiful healthy grandchildren. We have enjoyed being grandparents again the last two months. Infact, having a grandchild every month is quite fun. :) We will be heading to South Dakota on October 27th---13 more days. Can't wait!!! We are anxious to see Shannon's family and enjoy the birth of our grandson with them.
Shortly after we get home from SD we will be heading to Georgia for Thanksgiving to see Nick and Amanda, Bryson, Zeke and Arianna again. Our latest granddaughter. We miss all of them. So a reminder to all who read this please pray for safety for flying (SD) and driving (Georgia).

FALL HAS ARRIVED

Unbelievable!!!!
It's hard to imagine but FALL is here although the heat this last weekend makes it feel like summer. It has been in the low 90's for October, Unusual.
Before the week is done it will feel like fall once again. In the 60's and maybe 70's. Any way, just wanted to share a couple pictures of my fall decorating in the front yard.
