I haven't been in the mood to post.

So here we are in the middle of November.   I haven't felt like posting even though it's been a good month. I turned 51 this year; I got to spend it with my Eleanor,  Chris Philips came over to visit and brought me flowers,  and Erik and Miriah took Steve and I out to dinner at Chan's. Yummy and fun.

My Tim turned 26.  How did that happen?  I can't wait till next month when he and Katie are finally here. We're gonna have ALL of our kids here for Christmas.  I am so very happy.

Erik turns 25 next week, and then it's Thanksgiving and my Dad's birthday.  Then Christmas decorating, Christmas music and my David is home.  Add to this my wonderful girls, and life is really good.

My health is still up and down, and I still don't know what's wrong.. Steve and I are praying about going to Seattle in January or June to get a second opinion at Virginia Mason.

Family dinners, friends, ladies night at my house, good teachings at Church.  It's been a good month.

Pictures. :-)  Ok, so I haven't put any up in over a month.  I have a lot.


It is so much fun having the girls at my house.. I get super tired, but oh so happy. 









Eleanor discovered Erik's bear.  She sleeps with it, and brings it out to play after she wakes up.  :-))))









Splits. 

Robin is quite attached to her blanket.  

The hands. 




A picture of Eleanor's first tooth.  Totally by accident.  The picture, not the tooth.  :-)











The mittens I made for David.  I love them.  I must have some in red now.  



After her Daddy's coffee.  

Our second big snow fall.  It's still snowing as I write this, we're supposed to get an additional 6-10 inches. 

 RAFFI.  I bought 2 of his dvd's, and I had SO much fun watching this with Eleanor and Robin.  They mostly watched me as I laughed and sang along.  It brought back such happy memories of David watching this over and over and over.... with his toy guitar.

Mid October

Well, I've only been posting once a month.  What's up with that?  I see that I tend to post only if I have taken pictures, and today is no exception.  Steve and I had Robin and Eleanor today, and yes, I did indeed take pictures.  :-)
Before I post them, lets see what has been going on with us since September.  Hmm.  I have been knitting; I made a hat and sweater for sweet little Penelope Ewing, I finished (FINALLY) Eleanor's blanket.   I love it.  I almost threw it away.  But I persevered.  I got to cover her with it today, it made me quite happy.

Last Sunday I started up family dinner again, I have missed it.  Chicken pot pie and homemade rolls.... and raisin bread.  Ah, raisin bread, how I have missed you.  Yum.  We are still juicing, and I know it is making me feel less fatigued.  I still get tired easily, but it is so much better.

I still miss David, Tim and Katie and my Dad.  And Shelly.  I still want ya'll here.  ALWAYS.

I guess that's about it.  Pictures.  :-)


Robin's new hat. It matches her blanket.  Love.


Playtime in the den.  I need to get a new blanket.  :-)











My girls!



Trying to get my attention. Love this big old dog. 


David's new do. MISS YOU.




This always makes me think of jail.  :-)



Robin discovered the drawer pulls.  She kept pulling on them all day.



I love baby feet.



Sleeping with the new blanket.  And the bunny.
